Gil Must Go: Gary G doesn’t have it for the 1969 Mets

Ugh…my man Gary G is slumping.  Look, there’s no way you can give up 4 runs in 8 innings and expect to win a game.

Also the Mets played a real team in the 21-9 Milwaukee Atlanta Braves (that still feels weird to me), another one of those “West Coast” teams lol.  You don’t always get to play the Astros, Expos and Padres Gil.

Did you see who showed up as a pinch runner?  Mister Terrific!   LOL!!!!

At least Gil is listening to me and had Garrett at 3B, so that’s progress.

Mets Police Morning Laziness: Lyin’ Todd Frazier has 7 more hits than David Wright this season. Sad.

SLACKISH REACTION:  Oh are the Mets still a thing?  I feel like they haven’t played in two years.   The Mets are 19-20 and 4.5 games out.

FUN FACT:  It is May 14th.   Lyin’ Todd Frazier has 7 more hits than David Wright.  But it’s a really gritty 7 hits that have been grinded out (ground out?) and he is slugging .265.  Oh Todd, we could have been friends.  Why did you block me?

Speaking of David Wright, he was at Bethpage talking golf for some reason that makes sense to golf people.

Gothamist asked actual security experts who said the backpack ban will not stop the likes of Dr. Evil.

NOT LINKING: The other sites saw the newspaper write about Jed Lowrie so they also are writing about Lowrie.

Gothamist asked a security expert about the Mets’ Citi Field backpack ban and…..

“Simply banning backpacks allows for the entry of weapons that can be hidden in a purse, briefcase, or computer case,” says Walter Enders, an economist and security expert at the University of Alabama. “Size is not really an issue since two individuals with computer bags can probably carry the same type of weapon as in one regular sized backpack.” (via Gothamist)

The article goes on to mention the issues with perimeter safety when it comes to stadiums.  I’m still waiting on the fix to that one.

Nice job by Gothamist in asking an actual expert, which I was way too lazy to do.

The best way to stay safe is to stay home and buy yourself a nice giant TV.  Then you don’t have to worry about rogue backpacks….
