The Mets Police

Wait….could it be…after all these years are people finally #imwith28?

The Mets don’t want to signal the team is years from contention?

An article saying Murphy is useful?

Amazin’ via the Daily News.

With Murphy, the Mets believe that they have a player who can hit at Citi Field, and could be useful for several more years.

…

Trading him this season for a prospect would signal that the team is several years away from contention, and the Mets believe that is not the case; there is optimism inside the organization for 2015.

You know how it costs the Mets money for you to print at home? Or how it costs like six bucks for a computer to sell you a ticket…or like sixty bucks to sell you ten tickets? Well, good news everyone, the Mets have figured out a way to sell you tickets without having to pass those costs along to you!  Well at least for a while.  This isn’t magic.

You didn’t think we’d get through a day without LOLMets.  Cheese Louise…

Wake up arrived at 6 a.m. sharp. Did you know that after the threat of Cold War diminished, all of the country’s civil defense sirens were housed at Citi Field, for the express purpose of scaring the shit out of slumbering sleepover attendees? If I were the type of the person to own a gun, I would 100 percent have started shooting the moment the blaring cacophony of chimes, bells and throaty commands to WAKE UP punctured my peaceful doze
