The Mets Police

A reminder to join us tomorrow (Saturday) at 5pm at Donovan’s in Woodside for the live in person 2012 Mets Police Awards Ceremony (aka “The Mazzys”). Below is a promotional video you should watch, then many of the categories with nominees, then at the bottom some directions to Donovan’s. The pictures in the post do not necessarily telegraph the winners.

in what world is Mike Piazza not a Hall of Famer?

What’s with writers leaving Mike off the ballot? I saw the guy’s career, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

If Mike is being punished for something the writers may think was cheating then they should say so. At least Murray Chass has the courage of his convictions.

Other people who should be HOFers are hit kings, home run kings, anyone with 350 wins, anyone that Fox, Joe Buck, Mike Lupica and ESPN creamed over in 1998, anyone with 3000/500, anyone who was discussed as the best pitcher of the decade while they were playing, and anyone who won back to back MVPs.

No more outfielders?

Adam Rubin suspects the Mets won’t add any outfielders and that the starting trio are Duda, Nieuwenhuis and Baxter. That’s a joke.

The Mets have not punted.

Opening Day tickets start at $63

@mhealeysports presents The All-Time Gotham Baseball Team: The Complete Ballot | Gotham Nation.  I encourage you to vote for lots of New York Giants, the great forgotten team of this town.

Mark is also up for The Gunslinger of the Year award at this year’s Mazzys.  Join us at Donovan’s on Saturday at 5pm for the in-person ceremonies.

 

(Hmmm that skyline and color scheme on that 1936 program reminds me of something…)

Here’s a great read…

via According To Exit Polls, Nobody Will Make The Baseball Hall Of Fame

It has Piazza at 65.5 percent, the guy with 350 wins at 46.4%, the Home Run King at 46.4 and the two guys that everyone creamed over in 1998 don’t appear in the Top 10.  Oh and the Hit King isn’t eligible.

Who we kidding fellas?

 

 

Those writers said they also voted for Piazza, which is troubling because I don’t know if there’s anyone in baseball who doesn’t think Piazza used steroids.

..

I tried more than once to write about Piazza and steroids, but the baseball editor said I couldn’t because his name hadn’t been linked to steroids.
