The Mets Police

Thanks to Tommy who saw this at Citi Field.

The Mets have won each of their first four series of the season for the third time in franchise history…They also accomplished this feat in 2006 (first four series) and in 2018 (first five seres)…Courtesy of Elias….and we know how many championships those teams won!

Francisco Lindor is batting .308 (16-52) with 12 runs, four doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI, nine walks, three steals, a .419 OBP, a .615 SLG and a 1.035 OPS…He has safely reached base in 13 of the 14 games this season…but he booed the fans so he can rot forever. BOOOOO.

Howie Rose is off this weekend. The kid will do PBP with Wayne.

Vulgar Pete Alonso is tied for third in the majors and tied for second in the NL with 14 RBI…He is batting .278 (15-54) with nine runs, three doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, two walks, a .500 SLG and an .828 OPS in 14 games this year…He is batting .353 (6-17) with six runs, two doubles, three homes, 11 RBI with a 1.389 OPS in four games as a designated hitter this year which should be his role on the team.

I know the Mets are 10 and 4 so you guys will agree to anything right now, but great job by the Queens Chronicle on paying attention to the Casino story.  Personally I love the naming of “New Green Willets” as if it’s some sort of Greenpeace For Queens and not just some sort of corporate stuff that in the end comes back to the same people.

 

From the Queens Chronicle 

As state budget negotiations neared, lobbyists representing Las Vegas Sands and New Green Willets — a company that shares a Stamford address with Crown Mets LLC, Crown Intermediate LLC (both of which are linked to the Mets organization) and Point 72, Cohen’s financial firm — met with state and city lawmakers on several occasions, records show.

…

A Willets Point casino would not be without a hitch, as a major redevelopment effort there has been in the works for years. “I don’t think the Gaming Commission or otherwise would be interested in interrupting anything that’s already in the process,” Addabbo said.

Specifically, 1,100 affordable housing units have been slated to go up at Willets Point since 2018, and the city’s environmental cleanup work on that began in June 2021.

Councilmember Francisco Moya (D-Corona), who represents Willets Point proper, has been very involved in the push for affordable housing in the area. Previously, he told the Chronicle, “We are opposed to anything that could be built that interferes with the two plans approved by the Willets Point task force — including the historic project that will bring the deepest levels of affordability with the 1,100 units of affordable housing.” 

…

Still, Addabbo did not seem to think the effort was a lost cause: “That’s going to be a very interesting area, because of … the momentum that’s behind it.”

 

Why again do we need a Casino in Queens, other than the nice folks at Sands and “New Green Willets” will make money?

So apparently on Actual SNY Gary threw it to the studio for a game break….but on the app, it didn’t cut away and we got to hear Gary’s thoughts about Yankees highlights!

Baseball, which can’t play 7pm World Series games have a West Coast team playing at 10am on a weekday for some reason.
