The Mets Police

The VBC, sorry I mean QBC used some Alonsic language to tell us about one of the guests at this year’s Queens Baseball Convention.  I don’t think there will be bowling at this year’s events but there should be.

I hope our asses don’t end up in the jackpot because boy do we have a great first guest to announce. Former Mets Manager Terry Collins.. That’s right Terry Collins. We can’t wait to hear the stories he’s going to tell. So on Saturday December 2, 2023 don’t miss QBC 2023 at the official hotel and venue Four Points Flushing by Sheraton.

Man, if Matt Harvey did this….

The NY Post (by the way I am convinced the Post has designed their mobile site to discourage anyone from ever trying to use it) reports

Jeff McNeil posted a photo to his Instagram story showing himself along with Alonso, David Peterson, Drew Smith and Tylor Megill inside a suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium to take in the action. The trip was Alonso’s second time over at the Open.

This is no different than attending a Rangers game.  The boys should have been resting, watching game films, and working out.  Instead they are posting on social media and goofing off.

I’m getting a little worried Steve is going to give in to the Mainstream Media who are now writing “extend Pete” articles (because they like him because he feeds the beast and talks to them) – and I am going to have to do this blog for another decade plus because Steve refuses to pawn Pete off on some foolish GM….but then again OUR GM is the one who gave Matt Harvey $11M to pitch for Anaheim, not to mention whatever else went on over there.

Thanks Pete!

Pete reportedly has a $14,500,000 contract this season.   If you do some lazy math and make say $70,000 yourself, this would roughly be like you donating $500 and MLB making a big deal about it (not to mention the tax donation.)

If Matt Harvey was horsing around at the U.S. Open instead of preparing for the baseball game, you guys would be mad at him.   Either Twitter X or the US Open has disabled embed technology on this tweet so you’ll have to take my word for it that this happened.

Anyway, Pete should have been working out and watching game film.  This is the same as Matt Harvey hitting a Rangers game.  Focus!!!!

Trade Pete Alonso.  You can finish last without him.

Congratulations to the Mets who are really bad at winning World Championships…or even winning more games than they lose…(Trade Pete!) but they have had more success with food and they were so excited about winning the below they used Mailing List B which goes to the bloggers and also means Senior Executive Type didn’t handle this one himself, as he would have used Mailing List A and just sent it to like Mike Vacc.

Personally, I was fine with whatever they sold at Shea in 1986.  Green luke warm hot dog but Gooden struck out 17?  Perfect!
