The Mets Police

I may just start a separate blog about this guy:

Valentine — the former manager of the New York Mets — will partner with 25-year-old producer Andrew Moscato to form Makuhari Media, which will focus on sports-themed documentaries. Moscato produced the 2008 ESPN documentary “The Zen of Bobby V,” which chronicled Valentine’s time as a manager in Japanese baseball.

Unclear is whether or not V is involved with the viral web series How I Met The Mets. Speculation is that by attaching Valentine to the project the producers would not only have additional funding and increased media attention, but Valentine could play himself in many of the episodes.

You know… I might just contact him.

One thing I do know about Bobby Valentine: he’d never charge you to print out tickets at home.

Just ran some quick numbers, and site traffic so far for March is up 150% over last year (as in more than double).

To be sure, some of that is the Cerrone Effect – when MetsBlog throws you a link you notice…but I’m seeing a lot of return visitors.

Thank you for reading every day….and I’ll tell you one thing about Matt Cerrone: he’d never charge you to print out tickets at home.

Bob Murphy’s account of Nolan Ryan’s first strikeout in his debut with the Mets in 1966 is among more than 6,000 radio and television broadcast recordings of memorable games and colorful calls that the Library of Congress has acquired and plans to make public.

Sweet.

I missed an email earlier (I was being a good person and mentoring some students)…a statement from Mr. Beltran

I felt a little discomfort in my left knee last week. I spoke to the doctors today. They advised me to just give it a rest for a couple of days. I can hit and do everything, but back off the running part of it. I feel fine. I think I just overcompensated from all the work I did on the other knee and I just need to give it a little break.

Say what you want about Carlos, I bet he wouldn’t charge you a fee to print out Mets tickets at home.

I’m not freaking about this. I think it’s part of my new counter-culture stance where I think the Mets will win 90. Ya gotta believe. You really do.

@mediagoon has been bringing up certain topics all day on twitter. I’m not biting.

Oh, I have a very crazy day tomorrow – that increases the likelihood of “major Mets news” to 90%

How come nobody has been making Moneyball Wilpon jokes? We all missed it. Start now. We kid because we love.
