What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Interesting tidbit in Olney’s column today regarding the Mets discussing releasing Castillo.
One thing about the word “discussing” – I would imagine the braintrust discusses everything. Even “Should we trade Wright? No that’s absurd!” is a short discussion.
Buster also suggests we should not be surprised if they release Ollie.
Media Goon: I woke up to some really crappy news this morning and it really gets me down. The shooting that was all over the news yesterday in Arizona of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others included a nine year old girl.
The little girl that was shot and killed was former Mets manager Dallas Green’s granddaughter. Her father John Green is a scout for the LA Dodgers. Our thoughts are with the Green family and all the other victims from this senseless shooting.

UPDATE 10:05am Shannon here.
Before all the talking heads argue back and forth over politics let’s take a second to think about this senseless act of violence and a especially a young life snuffed out.
I’m posting this picture not to be sensational but because of the emotional impact. I’m also making this post “stuck” to the top of the blog for the day. New items will roll out below.
The brown-eyed athletic girl had one sibling, an 11-year-old brother named Dallas, and the two loved to go swimming together.
She’d already told her parents she wanted to attend Penn State one day and have a career that involved helping those less fortunate than her.
She also loved animals and was a passionate dancer who loved ballet, hip-hop, jazz and gymnastics and was the only girl on her Canyon del Oro Little League baseball team, “The Pirates.” She played second base.
Much more in the Arizona Daily Star.
Take the political discussions elsewhere.
Good job out of Queens Crap.
They have a link and screen grab from nyc.gov which lists..
Shea Stadium
Located in Queens, Shea Stadium is long-time home of the New York Mets. See the seating chart, get ticket information and accessibility details, and more on the Sports Commission Web site.
Fortunately there is probably some government worker who will fix this as soon as the Mayor’s Office gets wind. Regardless, Queens Crap has a screengrab and I can tell you I saw the Shea listing with mine own eyes. Thanks to DJ for the tip.
Oh, I also like that the nyc.gov website refers you to” the Sports Commission Web site” but couldn’t be bothered to provide a hyperlink. Enjoy those pensions fellas.
Busy day with lots of posts about nothing for a Saturday at Mets Police HQ
Randy at The Apple has made a special edit to the Mets 2011 Movie Trailer as part of the “Blogger War”
Remember, if you read The Apple you hate America
On twitter (@metspolice) I mentioned that perhaps I should combine my two loves and see if RA and Dave from Flushing wanna go into business at Citi.
