The Mets Police

I think I brought this up sometime during the season…someone wrote into the Times asking why Chrysler would run ads about their winning brand being tied to the Mets winning brand.

The Times answers at length but here’s an excerpt:

But “the dealers love the Mets,” Ms. Tinson (Chrysler spokesman) says, which are “still one of the most popular teams in baseball and still have a lot of devoted fans.”

Today’s Alternate Mets Cap is officially purple.  It looks blue and Dodgerish to me, maybe Jeff could buy one for dad for Christmas.

Mets Police recommendation:  As I said before, no need for purple Mets caps.

Fun to watch Cleveland get to know Bobby V.  From the Plain-Dealer:

He also happens to be the only candidate to replace manager Eric Wedge who has any success as a major-league manager. His stance seems to be: If you want me, take me as I am. I’m not about to beg for this job.

I’m going to guess since this middle-aged Mets fan didn’t recall this, this may be news to many of you.

When I mentioned the Phillies fans use of “Ya Gotta Believe” yesterday, reader Jon mentioned that in 1980 Tug took the phrase with him and told NY to “stick it.”

I’ve always known Tug to be a a beloved Met alumnus, and of course we remember 1973.

However, if you read here – here is the story in print.

Not sure how I feel about Tug now.

I can't be the only Mets fan who had visions of Lackey in Flushing in
2010 can I? I don't follow the Angels, don't know too much about him
but sure seems like the kind of fellow you'd love to have in the
rotation.

Is there a single square inch of Angels Stadium that they haven't sold
to advertisers? If you think Flushing is bad take a look at the
outfield in Anaheim of Los Angeles.

Can we get the Mets to change their name to the New York Mets of
Flushing just to be annoying?

Remember when McCarver first started doing channel 9 and his insights
seemed fresh and amazing? I miss Darling but nor Chip. Joe Buck
having a nice series. Dad taught him well.

Kids always speak the truth: Junior asked why all the fans were
rooting for the Angels. He noticed all the red. As I brought up last
weekend we lack uniform unanimity (click the article over there on the
right side of the blog) and we don't know what to wear. Now we're
going to add in some cream to our color palatte.

The Yankees sure seem to sell lots of merchandise by wearing the same
thing for 70 plus years (some minor tweaks over the years).

Omar, did you call Mazzili yet? That first base coaching problem that
brought down 2009 needs to be fixed!
