Idea: Mets Police 70’s week

Right after Michael Baron from MetsPhotos.com hooked me up with the current header image, Randy from The Apple sent me over this equally awesome header image.

So here’s my pitch.   During the All-Star break things get boring.  Let’s celebrate Mets Police 70’s week!

Here’s what I need.

GUEST POSTS.

You guys with the OTHER BLOGS.  Donate some stuff.  Faith and Fear, Centerfield Maz and Optimistic Mets Fan have all hooked me up.

Mets Walkoffs I know you retired but i bet you have some minutia about Joel Youngblood on your old site.

Randy I’m sure you’ll come up with something good.

Kranepool, you must have something about Kranepool?

Old photos, baseball cards (Paul’s Random stuff, hello?)

I’m not looking for you to write new stuff, just lend me your best old fun 70’s stuff.

SEVENTIES WEEK ON METS POLICE.  STARTS MONDAY.  WHO’S IN?

That cop looks awesomely handsome and somehow familiar.  I may have to start rotating the images.

Brooklyn Cyclones Jersey Thursday: Backman tonight

The Cyclones are giving away Backman jerseys tonight.

While we’re in Cyclones mode, Anthony sent this in.

Check out the attached photo of the jerseys the Cyclones wore on June 28th – I’m thinking these should be adopted as their new home jerseys.

I don’t even know what their jersey looks like these days.  I’ve never made it out to Coney Island and deep down I kind of want to be a zillionaire (after I event the holodeck) and move the Cyclones to Los Angeles just to watch people freak out.  I have some weird fantasies.

Hey Dan Twohig – you’re the Cyclones Guy.  Whip up a Cyclones Uniform History when you get a shot.

Is that Backman design what they wear?   I don’t need the city name on the front.  I know where you play.

Enjoy the Mets before two weeks of late starts

I think we’re all enjoying this season of Ike and Niese and DW and Reyes and the Great Santana Debates and being Proud of Pelfrey.

I bring you bad news.

Next week: no Mets games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday and Friday 10pm starts. 9pm on Saturday. 4pm on Sunday.

Thats an entire week of crappy start times.

It gets worse.

Three 9:40’s, two 10:10’s and two 4:10’s on the weekend.

To really make it annoying, an off day on the 26th.

I go to bed early, and I have a life on the weekend. It may be July 27th before I can enjoy a game after this weekend.

It’s hot. I’m heading home to savor a Mets game and enjoy future Hall of Famer Jon Niese off one of his 287 career wins. LGM!
