The Mets Police

Seen this afternoon in Penn Station. Yikes!!

I’m just trying to figure why I’m attracted to the blurry woman.

“We’ve got guys that are playing for their jobs, too. The minute they give up and quit, they wont be here next year. I want the guys to play 162 [games] and play hard.”

via Collins warns Mets before win over Reds – NYPOST.com.

I love it.

If you’re a Uni Watch reader you know that General Lukas* is taking his yearly sabbatical. Had I not just made Media Goon handle two of the last three weeks over here I’d be looking for a sabbatical, but I digress.

Wherever Paul is he must be listening to WFAN because he has fired up Fire Wayne Hagin again.

It doesn’t matter if Rolen is playing in the game that Wayne’s announcing, or even if he’s in the same time zone. Some random player hits a home run and Wayne will say, “You know who really knows how to do a home run trot the right way? Scott Rolen

Mets Police is never about getting someone fired. However, I am an announcing snob. I find Wayne to be generic. When Howie is off and Eddie sits in I find that I notice Wayne’s calls to be non-descriptive. Howie has a way of guiding you with his intonations. You know if a ball is in the gap before he tells you. With Wayne, it’s more a jumble of excitement during the play and then he tells you what went down afterward.

…

In case you are wondering about “General Lukas” – Paul is the leader of the combined movement to Ditch the Black. When the Treaty of Flushing (google it) happens (perhaps this offseason?) Paul will have the honor of signing.

…

In other news – the NFL is “back.” Whatever. I’m into this .500y Mets team, last night’s game being a prime example.

Also some interesting traction on the Banner Day front. Stay tuned.
