The Mets Police

On Monday I write a column for Flushing University, and this week I was so not-into the Mets, I almost forgot to write one…but here it is:

If a tree falls in the woods but nobody is around to hear it does it make a sound?If the Mets get eliminated from 2009 while everyone is watching the NFL and catching Sanchez fever does it make a sound?If John Maine returns from the DL and pitches and it gets one paragraph in the newspaper does it make a sound?If Carlos Beltran comes back from the DL and plays every day does it make a sound?if Jose Reyes shows up for the last week of the season does it make a sound?If David Wright someday passes Ed Kranepool for most franchise hits will it make a sound like Jeter’s?If SNY does another silent inning, will it make a sound?If you watched 12 hours of the NFL and forgot Sunday Night Baseball even existed, and then fell asleep on the couch with the game on, did your wife make a sound?If the Mets schedule a “Saturday plan” on a Thursday night, announce 96% capacity but there’s obviously like 11,000 people in the house, did they make a sound?If the Mets ticket office calls you to renew your season tickets, will you make a sound?

The Patriots look better in red, with the minuteman guy on the helmet.

The Bills look better although the Bill on the helmet looks better in the modern version.

The powder blue Chargers jerseys rock, I think everyone agrees.

And to contradict myself – the Jets look better in the Klecko/Gastineau greens than these Namath jerseys and helmets.

Why are they doing this this year – shouldn’t they do it next year?   Like wouldn’t you celebrate the 1986 Mets in 2026 not 2025?  Well the Mets will be on Mercury by then so that may be a bad example.

These are pretty cool events:

The third AMAZIN’ TUESDAY is coming to the Two Boots Tavern on the
Lower East Side this Tuesday night (9/15) at 7. It’s another evening
devoted to celebrating all things Met except, perhaps, being
eliminated with three weeks to go.

Presenting at this event, hosted by Greg Prince of Faith and Fear in
Flushing and Jon Springer of Mets By The Numbers, will be Jeff
Pearlman, author of The Bad Guys Won and John Coppinger, creator of
Metstradamus. Admission is free, as is your first beer if you bring a
Mets baseball card. Two Boots is one of the Met-friendliest venues in
town. The game against the Braves will be on; viewing optional.

I’m also told if you bring a Mets baseball card you get a free beer.
