The Mets Police: Top 10 2000s Mets Lowlights (SI Advance)

Top 10 2000s Mets Lowlights (SI Advance)

I can't dive in on this one right now, but you will absolutely enjoy this look at the Top 10 Horriblenesses from the 2000s.

I like #9...my kind of humor.

9. The Kaz Matsui Error

The Japanese Derek Jeter? I think not. Infielder from the far East was the team's big signing prior to the 2004 season -- they even displaced a young, cannon-armed shortstop named Jose Reyes to second base to make room. What the Mets got was an overpaid, oft-injured utility player who never hit higher than .272 and was eventually traded for a third-string catcher.

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!
