Mayor Adams on Citi Field Casino to be built on Parkland: We are really pushing the use of public space

Wow I wonder how Steve Cohen, who may have given $1.5 million to Mayor Adams campaign feels about this.

In light of the controversy about a possible casino in the Citi Field parking lot, which is parkland and part of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, constituents asked about “the importance of public lands for public use and how that model is going to be used in the redevelopment of the Willets Point area.”

“We are really pushing the use of public space … I think that’s so important to determine how that space is going to be used,” Adams said. “The more open space we have, the more public space, the more parks … the more we hear from you in utilizing these spaces, I believe it creates the right environment for our city.” (via Queens Chronicle)

Matt Harvey News: The Dark Knight Returns… as managing director of multifamily debt origination and advisory unit

Via the New York Post…and thanks to Sporty for sending over but he’s still blocked mwahahaha

Former Mets ace Matt Harvey has traded pitching baseballs for pitching loans.

Harvey, who quit the sport last month after a 10-year career, has quietly joined commercial real estate firm Newmark as managing director of its multifamily debt origination and advisory unit, The Post has learned.

A source said Harvey’s job will be to develop new client relationships while he undergoes a “crash course” as part of the powerhouse Capital Markets Strategies division.

“I’ve always been interested in the many different aspects of real estate,” Harvey told The Post. “By joining an incredibly successful firm such as Newmark, I will be able to learn and grow from some of the best in the industry.”

I wager one dollar that this does not work out.  Let’s check back in two years.

Mets Subway Series merch doesn’t understand NYC Subways

First up, we have these caps.  If you’re a regular, you don’t need this.  If you’re a kid – ok maybe.  If you’re a tourist, ok sure.  The design isn’t horrible.

And then there is this terrible idea that includes some sort of train to the Mets logo that starts off on the Upper West Side.  Not sure what’s happening her.e   HARD PASS.

Yankees fan Matt Harvey attends Mets-Yankees Subway Series game

Thanks to Sporty (who is still blocked mwahahaha) for sending this over.  Looks like The Real Deal. Matt Harvey, wanted to see his favorite team the Yankees beat up on those losers the Mets.

His companion reminds me of this…

…which kind of works since Affleck played Batman.  But she looks like she doesn’t want to be there.  She knows he’s not really famous and his peak earning days are over, right?  Must be his personality she likes.

The Return: Daniel Murphy signs minor league deal with the Angels!

Murph looks into crowd, wonders why everyone is sitting so far from home plate

Before you know it, Murph will be in the lineup with Ohtani and someone named Mike Trout.

Murphy is a lifetime .296 batter, same as David Wright, and within 200 hits of David – could Murph play this season and next and get there?

I look forward to staying up until 1am watching Angels games!

Baseball is back baby!  Murphy playing and Vulgar Pete isn’t?  It’s a dream come true!
