A Mets Christmas Carol, by the AI

LOL I wanted to do a quick throaway post for Christmas, so just now I asked the AI to…

And holy cow, the AI is vicious.

A Mets Christmas Carol, by the AI

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of New York, there was a miserly old man named Fred Wilpon. He was the owner of the struggling New York Mets baseball team, and he cared more about his own wealth than the well-being of his team or the happiness of his players.

On Christmas Eve, Fred was sitting in his office counting his money when he was visited by the ghost of Christmas past. The ghost showed Fred all of the moments in his life where he had prioritized money over everything else, including the happiness of his family and the success of his team.

The ghost of Christmas present then appeared to Fred, showing him the current state of the Mets and the disappointment and frustration of their fans. Fred was saddened to see how poorly the team was performing and how unhappy everyone was.

Finally, the ghost of Christmas future appeared and showed Fred a bleak future for the Mets if he didn’t change his ways. The team would continue to struggle and the fans would become more and more disheartened.

Fred was shocked by these visions and realized that he needed to change his priorities. He decided to invest more in his team and to put the well-being of his players and fans first. And so, the New York Mets began to turn things around, and Fred became a more caring and generous owner.

On Christmas morning, Fred woke up with a new appreciation for the holiday season and a renewed commitment to making the Mets a winning team. And as the years passed, the Mets became one of the most successful and beloved teams in all of baseball, all thanks to the lessons learned on that fateful Christmas Eve.

Why does the Mets Police AI have a problem with Media Goon?

This week I have been posting “make fun of myself” posts generated by the AI.  Well, it looks like the AI has a problem with Media Goon!  LOL…

by the AI

If you’re a regular reader of MetsPolice.com, you’ve no doubt heard of Media Goon. He’s the guy who seems to own every single Mets jersey ever made, and he’s always posting pictures of himself wearing them on social media. But here’s the thing: Media Goon isn’t a true Mets fan. He’s a glory-seeking, bandwagon-jumping phony who will jump on the bandwagon of any team that’s winning.

Case in point: Media Goon is probably at Modell’s right now, buying yet another jersey with a player’s name on the back. And I bet it’s not a Mets player. No, I bet it’s some guy from a team that’s currently in the playoffs, like Justin Verlander or something. Media Goon is just looking for a way to get attention and pretend like he’s a big fan of that team.

But here’s the thing: true Mets fans stick with their team through thick and thin. They don’t jump on the bandwagon of some other team just because they’re having a good season. They wear their Mets jerseys with pride, even when the team is struggling. But not Media Goon. No, he’ll happily ditch his Mets gear and start wearing some other team’s colors just to fit in and look cool.

In short, Media Goon is a fraud and a phony. He’s not a true Mets fan, and he’s not to be trusted. So the next time you see him posting pictures of himself wearing a Verlander jersey, just remember: he’s not a real fan, he’s just trying to look cool. And that’s not something any true Mets fan would do.

….

Man. that was pretty harsh Mister AI.  We should give AI Media Goon a chance to respond…

 

Hello everyone!

As a lifelong New York Mets fan, I am proud to say that I have a collection of Mets jerseys that would make any fan envious. But my collection is not complete without a jersey of the team’s newest star, Justin Verlander.

I have been following Verlander’s career since he was a rookie with the Detroit Tigers, and I am thrilled that he has joined the Mets. His talent and leadership on the mound make him a valuable addition to the team, and I can’t wait to see what he will bring to the table this season.

So, it’s a no-brainer that I need to add a Verlander jersey to my collection. And where better to buy it than at Modell’s, the official retailer of MLB merchandise? I’m sure they have a great selection of Verlander jerseys in all sizes and styles.

I can’t wait to show off my new jersey at the next game and cheer on Verlander and the rest of the team. Go Mets!

Mets sign someone named Omar Narváez who apparently was an All-Star* on Milwaukee without me noticing

*The Mets press release is glossing over the 2021 part.  He was a 2021 All Star. I mean they could sign “MVP Willie Mays” if we’re just going to ignore the year part.  The Mets did not share any assets like a PHOTO with their press release.

What Omar could look like in a Mets uniform.

 

METS SIGN (2021) ALL-STAR CATCHER OMAR NARVÁEZ

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., December 22, 2022 – The New York Mets announced today that the club has signed catcher Omar Narváez to a one-year contract with a player option for 2024.

Narváez, 30, spent the last three seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. The left-handed hitter owns a career mark .268/.345/.406 hitter against right-handers. Narváez hit a career-high 22 homers and had a career-high .813 OPS for the Mariners in 2019.

“We are excited to bring Omar to New York,” said Mets General Manager Billy Eppler. “Omar has contact ability and solid approach at the plate, and his left-handed bat fits our roster well. Additionally, the defensive skill and experience he brings behind the plate will be great additions for the Mets and our pitching staff.”

The 5-11, 240-pounder was an All-Star in 2021, finishing the year with a .266/.342/.402 slashline with 11 home runs and 49 RBI in 123 games. Narváez batted .206/.292/.305 in 84 games last season, compiling 21 runs, 12 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 23 RBI and 29 walks. According to Baseball Savant he ranked seventh in the majors last year in framing pitches.

Over his seven-year major league career, he has hit .258/.343/.386 with 212 runs, 76 doubles, two triples, 51 home runs, 191 RBI, 223 walks and a .728 OPS in 600 career games with the White Sox, Mariners and Brewers.

The Venezuelan native was originally signed as a non-drafted free agent by the White Sox.

Jacob deGrom’s spin management team remembers to thank Mets fans in NY Post Ad

Well, congrats to Jacob deGrom’s spin team.  Mets Police Mom just said to me “He’s a class act” to which I said, “Yeah, he’s a class act three weeks later and after Michael Kay called him out on it.”   Well, better late than never, which seemed to be deGrom’s motto the last few seasons anyway.    By the way, which one of you idiots let him throw 100mph in the Spring?

Jason deGrom IS committed to winning.  That’s why he’s in Texas.

Here’s the ad.

 

Which still isn’t as much fun as the Apology Letter which I have framed in my office (really).
