What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Mets Police has learned…
Eppler may have waited to see if I would eventually post something today, and once I did, he immediately resigned to make me feel like I wasted the previous post. Thanks Billy.
Man you’d have to be a fool to risk Pete walking away and getting nothing. Remember you are allowed to trade him and then sign him as a Free Agent. Trade Pete! Do it now….while we still have time.
The NY Post reminds us “It’s never easy for a team to sign a superstar in his walk year, and BorasCorp — run by noted baseball agent Scott Boras — has a reputation for taking most — but not all — of his best players to free agency.”
Not bad…and $32 is “cheap” for a cap these days.
Awful Announcing shares that ” Both the Cardinals and Mets declined 27%, with New York’s drop on SNY landing them at 1.73 in the market”
But you guys will all make up excuses. Maybe there were a lot of religious holidays, or maybe it was cold, or you had to work the next day, or they made some trades…..but in the end, ratings are down 27% and Steve Cohan and former Wilpons intern David Stearns should be worried about this product.
FWIW one of the big champions of the Baseball Is Back narrative that will talk about how everything is great is an Orioles fan. Sure, they had a nice year, baseball is back in Baltimore…except for the part where they almost moved to Nashville. Baseball is Back.
Interesting stuff from the Philly Inquirer which will shortly be picked up by the Amazing Apple Insiderized Mets Blog Report Podcast which won’t mention that they wouldn’t have noticed it if I didn’t.
Jerry discussed how the Mets-Phillies “rivalry” seems to have cooled.
“Once my team is out, then I just pick another team. I base it on just watching them play,” he said.

“Philly has the greatest food,” he said. “Philly and Chicago are, I think, the best food cities I go to. Somebody will always recommend something I haven’t heard of, some gyros sandwich place or something. And I love doing that.”
Maybe it’s because he’s playing a show this week and wants to make good with the locals. But as we get off the call, Seinfeld signed off with a bit more praise for our team. “I like the Phillies this year. They’re exciting — great energy!” (Via Philly Inquirer)
