The Mets Police

  The New York Mets, in partnership with New York Blood Center (NYBC), will host their annual Summer Blood Drive presented by NewYork-Presbyterian on Monday, August 12 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. in the Piazza Club at Citi Field.

Fans donating blood will receive a voucher redeemable for two tickets to a select Mets regular season home game during the 2024 season with exclusions and based on availability.

NYBC has issued an urgent call for type O+ and O- blood donations. Type O+ is the most common blood type, representing nearly 40% of the U.S. population. Type O- is the universal blood type and is commonly used in emergency settings. Type O shortages are being reported across the U.S. and are impacting local hospitals, with the current inventory of type O blood at its lowest levels since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.  A shortage of both types, both locally and nationally, poses serious concerns for our healthcare system, and the need for donors is critical.

Donors must be 16 years of age (with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. As always, people are not eligible to donate if they are experiencing a cold, sore throat, respiratory infection or flu-like symptoms. To view current eligibility guidelines, visit nybc.org or call 800.688.0900.

WHEN:            Monday, August 12

10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

WHO:              Mr. Met will be in attendance from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.

WHERE:         Piazza Club at Citi Field

Media may park in Lot G off Seaver Way and enter through the Hodges VIP entrance.

“I’m on pace for close to 40 homers, I was an All-Star this year, to beat myself up or be frustrated – it’s really no use. I’m really excited for the end of the year where we get to play winning baseball. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished this year so far”

Translation:

“I’m on pace for close to 40 homers = I am selfish

I was an All-Star this year = I am unaware that I was a bad pick and there were some politics involved

I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished this year so far” = I’m OK with a .41st best 790 OPS

…

Pete, Pete, Pete.  You’re supposedly a “leader.”  You’re supposed to say something like  “I feel bad when I let these guys down”  “I’m out there giving it my all, but sometimes I feel like I let these guys down” and “I let these guys down.”  Not “my stats are fine.”

Loser.  And I say that as someone who has watched you “lead” this team to one playoff appearance and…checks notes…one playoff win.   One more than me.  But then again, I let those guys down.

Captain, we’re back up on @metspolice twitter but I canna guarantee that she won’t get suspended again.  Maybe we should just stick to Threads (@metspolice)

Scotty, the Mets are the 4th Wild Card and people are finally turning on Pete Alonso.  I need to tweet NOOOOOOOWWWWW.

(Follow @metspolice2 just in case)

Saw at least one beat reporter say that their flight was delayed/caneled/messed up and also some chatter about Keith Hernandez maybe not being able to get to St. Louis.

Life is so hard in The MLB.  Nobody ever has travel hiccups.

And the poor Mets. Man, flying charter and then only getting 9 or 10 hours sleep?  Life is hard in The MLB.

Follow @metspolice2 on t w I t t e r while my main account is in exile.

If you don’t think I said “The MLB” twice on purpose you aren’t paying attention.  

I continue to be a t w I t t e r exile so you can follow me at @metspolice2 for now or @metspolice on t h r e a d s  (the odd spaces are me trying to avoid getting further whacked by the bots.)

Anyway I kinda like this cap which is a good way to rep the 4th Wild Card Mets

 

These might pairir nicely with the powder blue alts from 40 years ago.
