What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I told you guys reality would set in. You didn’t really think Terrific was going to win a Cy Young or something? Welcome back to reality there George Tom. 5 runs in 4 innings is more like the Tommy we know.
And Gil is driving me insane. Gliding Ed Charles back in at third for some reason, 0 for 3. Of course.
Anyone else notice that Cleon is hitting .378?
Oh by the way, indoor baseball is ridiculous. I don’t know how the league ever approved fake grass. Are you kidding me with this?
There’s a reason we call him The T-Shirt Guy and not The Caps Guy. This may be the reason.
That’s pretty rough. It might look ok on a 13 year old girl, and of course on @mediagoon who probably only bought three at this link. Normally Goon buys 4 or 5 of everything TTSG makes, so if he only bought three you know this design ain’t so hot. Also…. I have a 13 year old daughter, I’m not a creep. Relax there. She could rock this cap with Uncle Goon.
I highly recommend you check out THIS cap instead. One of my faves. I might even be wearing it now, but I wrote this Friday night on my deck from where I outhustle pay sites. You really think I plan my caps out two days in advance?
I love Holiday Filler.
So one of the things about Mets Police vs. all the other sites is I don’t second guess, I first guess.
I also don’t bounce back and forth about topics depending on which way the wind is blowing. You may notice the MSM has stopped calling for MIckey’s head now that the Mets have won 5 out of 6.
I had predicted that Mickey would be fired after today’s game. My logic was that the combination of heading to the West Coast and the Memorial Day holiday would give the Mets some cover from the media spotlight and allow Interim Manager Jim RIggelman to settle in before the Mets come back.
Obviously Mickey had a pretty good week and I am most likely wrong. But I will not pretend I didn’t stay it and stick to my guns all week.
In the end, it’s good that the Mets win games.
SLACKISH REACTION: I listened, or tried to listen, to most of the regular innings. It was good to hear Howie talk about the Young Howie Rose, the one that would piss people off on Mets Extra by resisting #TheNarrative. I bet Young Howie would have dug this site.
If you are not of a certain age, Howie used to host something called Mets Extra on WFAN back when WFAN was a thing you might listen to (I know some of you still like your sports from a guy who is older than I am who goes to fewer games than I do and somehow knows less about current sports than me….plus sprinkle in 20 minutes of commercials)…anyway you would actually listen to WFAN and Mets Extra was the pre-internet place where you could bitch about how terrible The Dynasty was. And the guy in the middle was the young Howie Rose who wasn’t all establishment like these other guys and would say what was on his mind, my mind, your mind, all of our minds. Several managers did not enjoy Mr. Rose’s work.
Eventually the Mets destroyed it by forcing a Pravda Post Game hosted by the unimpressive Todd Kalas, and that broke the WFAN-Mets Extra habit for me and I think a lot of us. Howie wasn’t allowed on the air until like 30 minutes after the game ended….there really was such a rule. Now he inducts people into the Mets Hall of Fame. We have come a long way.
I love Howie and think he’s the best PBP guy in the game. There’s a guy that should be in the Hall. Can he self induct?
(Related -> Is Gary Cohen a homer? “We” Gare?)
I did find, surprisingly, that the WCBS signal is not that good in Central NJ. Lots of static…but then again the entire AM band has electrical noise on it these days.
In other news, I had predicted Mickey would be fired after today’s game. It appears I am wrong.
TDKOALA Matt Harvey is on the IL.
Was this a security breach?

NOT LINKING: Newspapers overreacting to Wilson Ramos playing well.
NOT LINKING: Same newspaper writing Clickbaity Why Pete Alonso could be left of Rookie of the Year ballots!!!!! Whoa, did the Mets mess up paperwork? Is he somehow ingeligible. No, the writer just thinks other writers might vote for other guys. That’s the WHY. Don’t click on that garbage if you see the bait.
Boy this is one helluva expensive weekend of Holiday Filler for @mediagoon who will buy all this random merch I keep posting.
