The Mets Police

SLACKISH REACTION:  Jason Vargas cannot drag this team to the World Series by himself.  It was another fine start but the Mets’ most consistent pitcher.  But Wags is running this out there…

..so not much to be done.  What kind of At Bat is that?  It looks like what you’d get from someone who eats pancakes starting in the middle.

The newspaper spoke with baseball operations expert Jessica Mendoza, and I think it’s clear what a vital role she plays with the Mets. This is not just a PR stunt and paycheck for a CAA client, this is real baseball.

What I’ve enjoyed personally is the knowledge and understanding that comes with this. Being in a sports-psych meeting and seeing how players react, being in a pitchers-only meeting and listening to some of the stuff they are going over. Now that the draft is coming I’ve been locked in on college baseball. (via NY Post)

That’s nice.

The season is about to die.  The Marlins/Nationals part of the schedule bought Mickey some time but the season will die now.

You know what else is dying…baseball!

Here are lame Noah Syndergaard caps

This website is going to finish May with the lowest monthly stats since September, and the worst May…ever.   I know that this can be attributed to my site sucks but I am telling the Mets that this is a sign they’ve built a product nobody is interested in.  Remember back in 2000 when Al Gore was showing us charts and talking about CO2?  This is the Mets version of this.  Watch out Mets.  A fanbase cliff is coming.

Baseball which is totally healthy, has tons of Big Stars and definitely not boring and something you should spend 7 hours on when you have a day off, but don’t bring a backpack, reportedly is seeing a decline in attendance.

Major League Baseball’s overall average of 26,854 through Wednesday is 1.4% below the 27,242 through the similar point last season, which wound up below 30,000 for the first time since 2003. (via Hardball Talk)

Now before you tell me how wrong I am, remember I used to have a 15 game plan…now have a zero game plan….and my kid who was dragged to all those games has no interest in watching (David Wight Day broke him forever…that was the most boring baseball game ever played.)

If you are losing me, and the next generation of me, you really have a problem.

This is kinda lame.   I bet @mediagoon only buys two.

Much thanks to @matthewphotos3 for putting this one on my radar!  What is Lyin’ Todd even doing here?  Sad!

Todd Frazier needs to be released from the Mets immediately. There are no more excuses. Who eats a pancake this way? pic.twitter.com/Y1fFJvp25A

SLACKISH REACTION:  You guys that hate the Cano trade that mortgaged the Mets’ next decade so The Agent could bring in his old pal keep missing out that the deal was REALLY about getting a closer (per The Narrative).   Said closer gave up four runs in the 9th and the Mets lost.

NOT LINKING: The AAIMBR is back in business, today they want to start Frazier at second.  And they are writing about a rebuild.  I guess college is done and the 75 writers have more free time to write nonsense.  There will be no rebuild, there will be Robinson Cano.   Meanwhile, newspapers are still a thing, and they are spinning that Fraizer has become an offensive force!  Newspapers are still a thing…..with which to start fires in the fire pit.  But at least they can be read, unlike the practicing premium website where you can get the lineups for $5.

My #1 follower pitched 6 innings of 3 run ball, and NO HE IS NOT THE NEW MATT HARVEY.

Speaking of Matt, it was just 14 months ago that he pitched five 1-hit innings for….the Mets!

The Mets, out of the goodness of their hearts, are now offering 10 game plans.

Read between the lines…well there are barely lines…about Sandy’s love for the Wilpons and Katz.  Never forget Katz.

Angel Pagan was rescued at sea which sounds like me being snarky but is an actual thing that happened.

But most importantly…it’s VARGAS DAY!
