The Mets Police

It had been clearly established in commercials that Mr. Met was living in a suite at Citi Field.

As recently as March 29th he was claiming to live at Citi Field

Re-introducing myself before Opening Day!

I’m Mr. Met, born and raised in Queens. I’m married to @mrsmet, I live at @CitiField and YES my hat does come off. Keep an eye out for me at the ballpark and in your mentions this season. #LGM pic.twitter.com/8aN4qmVFqk

Why he would introduce himself in a black jersey is bizarre but let’s not bog down in that today.

On Opening Day, Mr. Met tweeted this!

Taking the @LIRR to the game with @mrsmet! 🚆 #LGM pic.twitter.com/spolf7tU79

Why would he be taking the LIRR to the game if he already lives at Citi Field.

At first I thought maybe they moved out to Long Island, as many Mets fans wind up doing. Not crazy.

However,  as I brought this up on Opening Day, fans told me it was a train from MANHATTAN to Citi Field.

Theories

1. Steve Cohen kicked Mr. Met out so he could rent out the skybox and make more money.

2. Mr. and Mrs. Met had a “date night” and decided to spend the night in “the city” instead of taking an Uber to Seaver Way

3. Mr. Met realized the casino is going to ruin the neighborhood and decided to sell his Citi Field condo before market values crash

It’s all very strange.

Mr. Met has also been spotted with his hat off a lot lately, and wearing non-Mets attire.  Something is going on here.  Maybe he’s kinda had it with the Mets?  I understand Mr. Met, I understand.

Phil Mushnick gets it!  The topic: Gary, Keith, Ron and Gelbs.

They too often erupt in unnatural phony laughter, often to prove to audiences that they “get it” and too often followed by Cohen’s insistence to get in the last word, even if it deflates mildly amusing exchanges.

The ensuing “Hah, hah, hah!” sounds coerced, like the work of a cattle prod.

And viewers are left to ask themselves, “Do they really think that was that funny?

Good stuff Phil!  Now do something about how Gary mails in home runs and how

TO THE TRACK / IT IS HIGH

TO THE WALL / IT IS FAR

IT’S OUTTA HERE / IT’S GONE

is the same poor home run call that forces a catch-phrase at the expense of capturing the moment or the actual play.

FLUSHING, N.Y., April 6, 2023 – The New York Mets and (a sponsor) today announced a new long-term partnership….

 (an advertising) patch will be featured on the Mets uniforms, the first jersey patch partnership in the team’s 61-year history. The patches will debut in the home opener at Citi Field, which is not being played right now because it is 80 degrees and sunny out.

I guess it’s too nice and warm to play baseball today, but the good news is tomorrow will be a great test drive of my dream that the Mets add some FRIDAY DAY GAMES to the schedule.

If you have every been to a FRIDAY DAY GAME at Wrigley in the Summer you know how awesome it is.  Chicago has a culture of half days and/or holding business meetings at the game.  You’re done by 5 (in olden times, I guess now by 4) and then you go hit the bars in Wrigley and then you still have your Friday night!

Hopefully, tomorrow, everyone – including the Mets – will realize Friday Day Games are the way!
