What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I’ve seen worse… This is the low-crown version as neither you nor I are Vanilla Ice.
Meanwhile….
Also its good to see either
a) Mets fans are rejecting Lindor
b) Mets fans are rejecting black jerseys
c) MLB is just cool and selling high-demand jerseys at a discount because they are cool like that. Sometimes people are just cool. But not Lindor. He thumbs downed the fans and can go rot, no matter how much he works the sheep media.
Attention Mets fans: Primary Day in New York City is June 24 — not June 23.
You could be forgiven for getting your dates confused, since the wrong day was displayed on an electronic billboard at Citi Field during at least four baseball games.
The city’s Campaign Finance Board was responsible for the error.
Well at least they got the day wrong EARLY rather than late so you can still have a chance to vote. What a weird error.
I’m impressed that the Mets are wearing on-field Pride jerseys which giving away tank tops.
How about a cap like this? You could do that, couldn’t you?

M. Donald Scott Havens is leaving the Mets. Is it me or do Steve and Alex go through a lot of execs? Isn’t everything groovy in Queens? Why wouldn’t someone want to be the President of Business Operations?
Here’s the line the mainstream media is glossing over.
Who knows, maybe M. Donald Scott was the one thinking about all the nonsense and Steve is like “what if we just played organ music and Saturday day games?” I believe in Steve, I bet Steve is like “what if Mr. Met didn’t do pushups with a dance team.” Maybe Steve is the one asking “why did we open a store in Union Square?”
By the way Steve, this is Year 5 of your Year 5 plan and your team is in second place. There are no more excuses. Your timetable. Your plan. Your hires. This is not on the Wilpons. No excuses. A tickertape parade or failure. No excuses. No “anything can happen in the playoffs.” No excuses. World Series Champions is the only option.
“If I don’t win a World Series in the next 3-5 years… I would consider that slightly disappointing,” – Steve Cohen November 2020.
I’m not devastated, I’m disappointed,” – Tom Glavine, 2007
Anyway I am confident Steve’s next hire will work out.
Year 5 Steve.
FLUSHING, N.Y., May 27, 2025 – The New York Mets today announced that Scott Havens, who served as President of Business Operations since 2023, will be stepping down.
“Scott has played a key role in driving progress across the Mets organization,” said Mets Owner, Chairman and CEO Steve Cohen. “I’m grateful for the impact he’s had during his time with us. While we ultimately had differing perspectives on long-term strategy, I wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”
“It has been an incredible honor to serve this franchise. I am proud of what we have accomplished together,” said Scott Havens. “I remain a passionate, long-term supporter of the Mets and will be cheering on the team’s continued success.”
The Mets plan to announce the new President of Business Operations shortly and will work with Scott to ensure a smooth and collaborative transition.
I don’t know what to say about this I am disgusted by it.
My take: If the billionaire wants to build a casino, then he should acquire some for-sale land and go ahead and build five casinos on the for-sale land….but not on our parkland.
Mr. Cohen has the means to make his existing parking lot more like what some think a park shoud look like. Build that tiered lot you want, and plant some grass., some trees, and treat the people of New York to a few benches. Maybe even a see-saw. Why does there have to be a casino?
Gothamist reports…
The Democratic-led state Senate voted 54-5 on Tuesday to allow New York City to reclassify 50 acres of parking lots surrounding the Mets’ stadium, a key approval for the Cohen-backed project that is seeking one of the state’s three remaining licenses to operate a private casino.
The bill, which the state Assembly approved earlier this month, now heads to Gov. Kathy Hochul for her signature or veto.
…The land, which is currently occupied by Citi Field parking lots, is currently public parkland. For the private project to move forward, lawmakers had to vote to allow New York City to “alienate” the parkland.
In October, the New York Post shared:
The hedge fund king has been a major benefactor to Hochul and the Democratic Party over the years.
He and his wife, Alexandra, donated a combined $136,700 to the Hochul campaign in 2021, according to state records.
Cohen, the founder of Point72 asset management, also was the biggest donor to the New York State Democratic Committee in its effort to gain control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming election, donating $235,000 from Jan. 1, 2023 to July 11, 2024, according to Gothamist.
I’m no expert but I have a guess on which way the governor is going to vote.
