The Mets Police

We need to start talking about this…

Without going full rant, that’s just not how we do scores in baseball.

No matter what you are going to win 40, lose 40 and then there are the other 82 games.  It’s baseball.  You’re going to lose sometimes.  You’re lucky if you only lose 1 in 3.  It’s OK Mets, the Cardinals outscored you, we can handle it.

Going up a level, I don’t know what’s broken over at Mets social media.  I don’t know if it is Tia’s husband (boy there sure are marketing her lately), or the new Communications boss or MLBAM or what, but it’s nowhere nearly as good as it used to be.

I have been paying attention to the quantity I have dubbed “cheesy social media intern”, this being the human or AI that generates such amazing posts as “McHits” – that entity I believe to be someone at Corporate MLB as I see that style of tweet showing up in recaps of other teams.  Likely someone just working a shift and they sometimes get assigned to Mets game.

Anyway @mets – Cardinals 8, Mets 7…it’s ok.  You aren’t fooling us.

OK kids – who can tell me what’s wrong here, and how we know the Mets social media team member who made this isn’t from around here….answer below

“The 7-Line” gives them away.

Now, obviously “The 7 Line” has entered the vernacular but that’s an apparel line for people who sit 500 feet from home plate, think “He Struck Him Out” is cool and leave early during playoff games.

But, in the big city, one does not take The 7 Line.  One takes “The Seven” or “The Seven Train”

Maybe you aren’t with me yet….

Would you ever tell someone to take the 4 Line to Yankee Stadium?  Did Duke Ellington record Take The A Line?   No and no.

Would you take the 7 line to 74th and transfer to the F Line?  No you would not.

So Mets social media person, you have been exposed as an out of towner!  No wonder you don’t understand that the Mets should not wear black.  Maybe the Las Vegas A’s are hiring.

I still consider this Apple to be new and not the real one.  You may recall the Mets tried to BS us that the original one was in unusable shape and they needed to have this one – of course then the one that was so decrepit can now somehow live outside the stadium and have people climbing on it ever day.

And remember when they hid it under the stairs that first year?

Anyway….Fake New Apple now has fireworks for some reason

METS TO CELEBRATE PRIDE NIGHT AT CITI FIELD

Seventh Annual Night to Take Place on June 16

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 15, 2023 – On June 16, New York Mets will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with Pride Night at Citi Field. The seventh annual event will take place before the Mets take on the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:10 p.m. Gates will open to all fans at 5:10 p.m.

Pride Night at Citi Field is a celebration of the many New Yorkers and Mets fans from around the world who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. All night long, the Coca-Cola sign above right field will be illuminated in the colors of the Pride Rainbow flag and in-game programming will be focused on celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. A rainbow balloon wall will be installed at the top of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda to welcome fans as they enter the gates.

In addition, all fans in attendance will receive an exclusive Mets Pride Hand Fan, presented by Justworks.

The Amazin’ Mets Foundation will honor SAGE during a special pregame ceremony as that night’s Community Hero. SAGE is a national advocacy and services organization that has been looking out for LGBTQ+ elders since 1978.

Matt Rogers, a comedian best known for co-hosting the podcast Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang, will throw out the first pitch. The National Anthem will be performed by Jan Sport, a drag performer who is a lifelong Mets fan and has appeared in season 12 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and season six of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.” During the seventh inning stretch, Bryan Ruby will perform “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Ruby, a country singer, is a founder of Proud to Be in Baseball, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy, education, and providing resources for the next generation of LGBTQ baseball players.

Friday night is also DJ Night at Citi Field. Ty Sunderland will be that night’s guest DJ. Sunderland, a popular DJ based in NYC, is well-known for his sets at Pride events worldwide.
