The Mets Police: Willie Motivates Young Players

Willie Motivates Young Players

So you have a young player and he's hitting .385 and leading the team in RBIs. How shall we motivate him....

"He's still a nice player, but let's not get crazy," Randolph said. "I hope he stays this way all year long. But he came in here as our fourth outfielder, and when your backup guys come in and really do a job for you, you love that kind of thing."

Sorry Angel. Even if you hit .400 with 73 HRs you are destined to ride the bench.

Hmmm - a 27 year old young player who is playing his heart out doing everything that is asked of him out or a 42 year old injury prone veteran.

This has happened before with this current team. Rather than let young pitching prospects like Kazmir and Bannister grow with the team, they are sent packing while guys like El Duque are signed.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
