Dave Kingman Blue Mets Jersey (aka there goes another $99)

Damn you internet!  Why why why did I stumble across this?!   $99 here.

How long until I wind up telling y’all I bought this.  I was hunting for the dang Stars and Stripes jersey and I found all sorts of things.  The only reason I don’t already own it is I am writing this last night and my wallet is downstairs.

Plus I can’t get Frenchy out of my mind.

Help!!!!!

Oh, and Mets…sell this in 29 Davis.  Trust me.

Some really oddball Mets jerseys

There are many things that even the Mets Police cannot explain….what makes the Mets choose what they wear on any given night, a certain on-camera host on SNY, and most of all these jerseys (thanks Osh41 for this one):

Click on the photos for bigger versions.

Then again, I went hunting for a Stars and Stripes jersey last night so I shouldn’t rip that Frenchy one too hard…it could wind up in my closet.

Oh note to SNY, the gag with the guys who own the electronics store….done.  Was funny, now annoying.

These were at the Mets store on 42nd.   Hmmm…French jersey…strangely attractive and yet annoyinh, like a girl you know you’ll wind up hating after a few weeks and yet….you know what I’m saying.

More about jerseys: in my hunt for the S&S jersey I wound up taking a fair amount of pics which you’ll see rolling out on the tumblr….those on the main site will see them on the right side.  Email and google subscribers can find them at metspolice.tumbr.com

Step it up! You guys know you have some crap jerseys in your closets.  Man up and email me some pics.  I know you bought a Kent jersey.  Let’s see it.  Somewhere in that closet is an Alomar.   email: [email protected]

I can’t figure this Mets team out

This Mets team confuses me.

Now they look good again.  Then they’ll go to Milwaukee and turn into pumpkins.

We do know they are good at home.  I’m trying to figure out why?  Is it it that there are plenty of poser teams that just hit 380 foot home runs in bandboxes (oh say Citizen’s Bank Park and Fake Yankee Stadium) and when you actually have to hit one deep it turns into an out?

Why am I most confident in R.A. Dickey  and Takahashi?  I’m like “oh cool, it’s R.A. Dickey Day!”

That’s odd.

…

With Mets Police HQ’s basement all gutted I have been forced to leave my computer in places where Mrs. Mets Police uses it.  Really annoying.  She seems to not understand what SHUT DOWN means.

…

I get lots occassional notes from folks who let me know they like the site.   Last night I snapped a picture of a dude in a McEwing jersey and sure enough, the nice man saw himself on the blog and sent me a note.  That’s fun.

As I mentioned this morning, I haven’t been doing any hard-hitting stories because I don’t make crap up.   The Mets built a museum, have been fan friendly and are somewhere between interesting and winning.

Sometimes I worry that people will drift away from the site, but then I get the emails – and I guess people enjoy the ebb and flow of what we talk about here.

Tomorrow is one of those days where I’m jersey obsessed.  I spent the night hunting for a Stars and Stripes jersey and I found all sorts of things. That’s what tomorrow will be out.

Philly is in a closed door meeting.  Awesome.  We’re in their heads.  That probably means Pelfrey will give up 8 in the first tomorrow.

Is the Jerry Watch off again?

I know I tend to get in “WFAN caller” overreact mode as much as the next fat guy in a basement…

…the Jerry Watch seems like it has calmed down.

Beating the Yankees and Phillies seems to calm the Metsiverse more than say beating the Pirates and Padres.

Since part of this equation is selling tickets and selling hope, I think this current mini-streak may hold off the Melvin era. A week ago I was sure that the move would happen this week…

…and if the next two are disasters maybe it will.

What do you think will happen?
