The Mets Police

This video tells us about some business being relocated out of Willets Point.  i would embed the video but the cable network in question hasn’t joined the 21st century.

Media Goon had some ideas:  dave and busters? new mall? some hotels? new arena for the islanders? convention center?

Well Goon, I think the world has enough malls.  I think hotels might do well (nearby airport, subway line).  Islanders, I dunno…what about Suffolk fans?  Convention Center to compete against Javits?  Dunno either.

A Dave & Busters, some hotels, some mixed use residential (build an actual neighborhood) and some food/drink places could be nice.

Some wisdom from Osh41….

Right now if its Melvin/Collins I go with Melvin.

He at least got a club to the playoffs – and they say Collins is good with teaching – leave him in the minors then and help teach fundamentals – they cannot throw this guy out there and the first question he’s asked is about a club quitting on him.

You cant have the manger sputtering defensively at his press conference which is supposed to be a feel good moment for the club, not in this market.

…

Really good point by Osh.

For the record, I don’t want y’all to think I’m on an anti-Collins crusade.  I don’t know anything about him except what I read.  As I discussed a few times recently the losing-the-clubhouse worries me.

As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “Bob Melvin.  Hmm.”

Another interesting Collins read is here.
