The Mets Police

The folks at Acedout are selling some Jacob deGrom merch and….well…it’s not quite as good as deGrom’s pitching, is it?

Apparently these are so boring that @mediagoon only bought one of each.

Hey, is it me or is Gary Cohen actually trying this season.  The track-walling (that’s when Gary mails it in with “to the track, to the wall, it’s Outta Here” which you think is good until I point out that its the same as John Sterling doing “it is high, it is far, it is gone” and holy cow Mets Police is right isn’t he) – anyway Gary seems to have cut down on mailing it in (he has been mailing in HRs for a few years now), and has given some pretty good honest calls in 2021, like this one!

Maybe Gary has been reading and enjoying my posts. Hi Gary!  (Gary, try taking the occasional break from slamming “outta here” in every time.  You don’t need to do it ever time.  You are better.  Don’t get mad at me, I am trying to get you into Cooperstown for legit reasons other than you went 40 years without getting fired.)

Verdict: Scully

Mrs. McCann is selling these but….you know….

Nobody likes to celebrate Armed Forces Day (May 15th of course) with a brand new cap more than @mediagoon and that’s why he is on his way to Modell’s to get one of these beauties.

Uni Watch had the story during the week including a leak of many of the caps that will be worn by the other teams.  You of course know to read Uni Watch every day, right?

I personally find this cap ugly and find it adds nothing.  I support the troops like the next person – but clearly this is some sort of money scheme in which MLB started caring about Armed Forces Day because they were catching grief over monetizing Memorial Day which is when we honor those who died while performing military service.

So it’s kind of tacky to make money off remembering those who died….which gives me a thought starter to open a can of worms.   If the Mets are breaking out the black jerseys for the 20th anniversary of 9/11/01, maybe they need to break them out BEFORE then so they don’t actually suggest something they don’t mean to and monetize the anniversary by going LOOK EVERYONE, BLACK JERSEYS FOR SALE!

 

 

Steve, why would you want your two billion dollar toy to look like garbage just because Marcus Stroman likes how it looks?

Rare shots of Mets wearing blue helmets with black jerseys, 8/18/98 vs. Rockies, 2nd game of doubleheader.

I’m not 100% sure, but I *think* this is the only time they wore that combo (thankfully).
