The Mets Police

David Wright.

Wouldn’t it be great to see David back in the dugout.  That way we would know there is at least one person in a Mets uniform that does not hate Mets fans.

Here’s the issue – it can only end badly.

Older fans may remember, as crazy as this sounds to you younglings, that Buddy Harrelson was no doubt the second most popular Met of all time.  Now sure some folks came along later (Keith, Donald Trump Supporter Mike Piazza, David Wright) – but when we only had 20 years of history, Buddy was #2.

Buddy was never loved the same after his managerial stint.

Things can only go badly for David.  Unless he won three straight rings then stepped down, it can only end badly.

So, no David Wright will not manage the Mets, nor should he.

Sportico reports (possibly paywalled)……

Steve Cohen… is in discussions with Las Vegas Sands Corp. about a possible casino next to Citi Field, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.

…

“Steve thinks that Willets Point needs to be addressed long-term—it’s a mess,” said a Mets spokesperson, adding the team’s priority remains on filling open baseball positions. “He has been hearing lots of ideas, and the Mets want to be part of those conversations to ensure the interests of our fans and the local community are well represented.”

Oh PLEASE spare me the horse hockey Mets Spokesperson.  “to ensure the interests of our fans and the local community are well represented.” – then build the affordable housing and the schools.  Casinos prey on people and take their money and make the rich richer (unless you are an incompetent phony businessman who somehow bankrupts multiple casinos, but that’s a separate discussion).

How does a casino help the community?  Has Steve and The Mets Spokesperson driven a block off the ocean in Atlantic City?  How is that going?  How are Aqueduct and Yonkers helping the neighborhoods.  Give me a Falsono  break.

And what do we mean by “next to” Citi Field?  I sure hope we don’t mean the Park Land.  Because that’s not what parks are for.   Are we talking about across the street?  Don’t the Wilpons control that?

Sportico has the story.  It may or may not be paywalled depending on when you look at it.

 

Let’s face it.  As Mets fans, we are all a bunch of idiots sitting out in a field (500 feet from home plate wearing matching t-shirts) waiting for The Great Pumpkin to arrive.

The Great Pumpkin will be the one to Change The Culture.  The Great Pumpkin will establish sustainable success year after year.  When the Wilpons are gone The Great Pumpkin will spend so much money that nobody will be able to compete with us.  The Great Pumpkin is so good at baseball let’s compare him to Tom Seaver.

We’re all a bunch of idiots.  The Great Pumpkin is never coming to Queens.  This is the life we choose.  We sit in the pumpkin patch, then spend April telling Mets Police he is too negative, then we book our comedy tours and by August we are are boycotting.

Will the Great Pumpkin manage the Mets?  No.  He’s never coming to Queens.

Are they having Gold Glove playoffs? Are we going to vote? You’re either the guy or not. And the Mets hate their own fans so I hope Lindor doesn’t win. Give it to someone who likes the fans.

You may have noticed that the Mets are having trouble hiring anyone.  They are starting to run out of traditional candidates.  Maybe what the Mets need to do is go for cheap clicks on the internet.

 

 

Baseball is a business, and baseball doesn’t even care about the part with the ball and stick. Baseball is all about gambling and NFTs now.

You think the 7 Line Army is impressive?  Wait until the BTS Army starts watching games from 500 feet away and all lie to each other about that being a good view.

Unlike the actual Mets players, BTS loves their fans!

BTS in the dugout is sure to fill the luxury boxes and being more eyeballs to the TV.   Sandy makes the lineups anyway.  We can just pair BTS with a Terry Collins-like bench coach.

BTS has even appeared at Citi Field so they are familiar with how the dimensions play….plus the post-game concerts will be Amazin’

Will BTS manage the Mets?  Steve’s so far down his list now I will consider this to be a real possibility….but in the end, MLB regulations limit the number of coaches in the dugout and I don’t think any one of us wants to break up the band over that…so no, BTS will not manage the Mets.  Shame.
