The Mets Police

Down in Philly, this is news:

The Phillies aren’t an issue, said Bryant. He grew up a Mets fan.

If you’re still feeling frustrated (I’ve moved on to apathy) you might want a t-shirt with this logo.   I found out about it from Paul’s Random Stuff...so ‘honor among bloggers” click over to his site to find out where he found it.

Over on nj.com Matthew Artus writes about the thought of putting the Islanders in a new building on 126th street.   

While that would be an improvement over the chop-shops, and preferable to the Islanders moving to Kansas City, I don’t see it solving anything for the hockey team.

There’s zero chance that someone is going to travel from Suffolk to 126th street for an Islanders game so there goes half the fans.   The people in the city have a hockey team already.  Moving to Queens would be as pointless as the Brooklyn Nets would be.   You can’t be the Rangers, Knicks, Giants or Yankees.  These other teams will always be second fiddle, except for the occassional front-runners (even Rutgers football had fans for three weeks).   Are the Devils any more or less popular in their new building?

All 126th street needs is a hotel and a sports bar or two.   A hockey arena is wasted money.   If Charles Wang thinks he can make money in KC let him go.  There’s plenty of struggling NHL teams out there – let the Formerly Islanders be one more.   Would it be a shame, yes?  Is is the problem of the taxpayers?  No.

You might want to begin with getting Cablevision to offer MSG to be in HD on some other cable systems (I have Fios, we dont get MSG-HD) and while you’re at it – make MSG good like it used to be, not the present Sportschannel/FSNY quality.

Today’s alternate Mets cap is maroon.   I see no reason why you need a maroon cap.   You could do much better for yourself.

Mets Police recommendation:  Don’t buy.
