The Mets Police

OK Bisons, I’m calling you out.  I’ve written nice professional emails to both the general  email and to a few actual people.   Nothing.  Why no love?   We have a guy who moved up to Buffalo and he wants to come by and cover the scene.   We’d even take a no, but no response?   That just makes me type “Bisons’ into google every day looking for stuff to mock.  Even the Mets called.

Here’s a link to the transcript of Jeff Francoeur’s online chat.  I of course zeroed in on this…

I’m rooting for Wright to win it all.

Next in the 5 Questions series is Glenn.


When did you become a fan?
1. As long as I can remember!  First memory is going to friends house in 1969 and seeing a ballgame on television.  The entire city was watching (and it was a day game!);


Best memory?
2. Absolutely, definitely, 100% Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.  Nothing before or after comes close (goosebumps now);


Worst memory?
3. Lots!  But worst:  the day Tom Seaver was traded.  I was a young boy, and I wept (close second: blowing Game 6 of the NLCS against the Dodgers in 88.);


If you could change one off-field thing?
4. Better public relations.  The Yankees are great at it, the Mets are a disaster;

If you owned the team what’s the first thing you’d change?
5. Minaya and Manuel.  We play a modern game, and these guys are totally ignorant when it comes to statistics and sabermetrics.  The most successful teams of the 21st century play a different game.

Ben dropped me a note telling me that he too sent a letter to the Mets, and he too got a return call – this one from a nice lady in the customer relations department.  Ben tells me he asked if the Mets were hearing from lots of frustrated fans and that she gave an emphatic “oh yeah.”

Sorry, I can’t top the tours of the clubhouse and the trainer’s room.  Today we’re going through the leftovers from Jimmy’s tour.

More orange stairs.  I think it looks good.

And a zoom of some orange stairs.   That’s it.

Hey, even Keith Hernandez went 0 for 4 sometimes.

Time for some beer.

Thanks to Jimmy for sending these over.  Pictures always welcome at [email protected], especially if you have some from the 60’s-80’s.

I’d openly love if the Mets gave us a tour…I’d love to see back offices, the mailroom, the copy machine…no detail too small.  Seriously.
