The Mets Police

The Daily News reported that Mookie Wilson and Davey Johnson will not be part of the closing ceremonies at Shea because of a falling out with the organization.

Fellas, the team doesn’t make an extra dollar if you come, and doesn’t lose a dollar if you don’t. 

For the fans, and for the memories show up.  Do it for youselves.  Come feel the love.   You don’t have to shake hands with the Wilpons or whoever you are mad at.

Dwight Gooden has also been invited but isn’t expecyed to come.

Come on guys, even Tom Seaver is leaving the vineyard for an afternoon (or night if ESPN effs us).   If Tom can be bothered, surely you can.

So now that the Rutgers season is over (you lost to Fresno State, 9-1 ain't happening and you'll still have lost to Fresno) let's see how this craziness with stadium expansion continues.

They spent an extra $300,000 to get the luxury boxes ready in time for yesterdays game (wow, a late construction project in NJ with cost overruns. Who knew?). They've paid this coach a ton of cash to stay, cash that probably could have paid for some of the 'minor' sports. Then again NJ is flush with cash so what's a few million for a football coach.

They still hope to add 13,000 more seats. I know Rutgers was trendy for two weeks two years ago, but this is crazy.

Let's see how many Rutgers fans there are when the team is 5 and 5 before they go assing seats. I bet you that folks find other things to do.

Meanwhile in Flushing, the Mets have allowed Four Inning Pedro to leave the team so he could work out with his personal trainer. What??? Did Pedro hear it was going to be nice beach weather on Long Island this week? Does he have his fantasy football draft? Pedro being Pedro as always means Pedro being about Pedro and not about the team.

Back on April 27th when everyone was calling WFAN begging the Mets to just release this guy, the Mets Police called you front-runners.  You are.  5 months later and this guy could run for mayor.

Repost from April 27th:

Delagdo: You’re All Front-Runners

Let me get this right:

Friday Night the vibe was ejubilation that he was benched.

Today he gets a curtain call?

Are we running him out of town or sending him to the All Star Game? (Speaking of which why have some teams have had it twice since the Mets have).

You’re all fickle. Leave Delgado alone and focus your wrath on Omar giving Castillo four years and Pedro being useless (see “Pedro Exposed” below).

Spent the last three innings listening to Bob Uecker today.  Much like my experience with Jon Miller, it was pleasant to listen to one man do a game solo.  

Never mind Uecker’s beer commercial persona, he calls a good game.   Sure he’s a homer – got a little to excited on a fly ball – but he also razzed the fans after the Mets scored in the eight basically saying “calm the hell down everyone we have two more at bats.”  Maybe it was something like “what are you booing for?” but the message was the same.

It’s always a pleasure to hear a game without endless in-inning commercials (I only percieved one, for a sausage!) and without some schmoe telling you “23 Skidoo And Bobby Abreu” or whatever nonsense Sterling has this week….and because I like to razz Howie Rose, I actually believed the attendance figures.  22 straight sellouts for the Brewers!
