The Mets Police

So the Mets can come from behind!  Last night's game totally looked like another rollover and die type loss, so it was impressive in that respect.  Let's hope it lasts.

Could Jose Reyes wait more than five seconds after the game to take his shirt out.  Is his brain thinking "I can't wait until this game is over so I can look for a knucklehead."    I would not be surprised if he starts wearing his hat backwards at SS.

Spent a lot of time walking the dog listening to out of town broadcasts this week.  The Rays have a very nice clean broadcast.  I don't know who the dudes are (and can't be bothered to look it up) but they call the game, don't schtick it up, and seem to do a lot of homework about the opposition.  Very nice.


I also checked out the Cardinals broadcast.   Again I can't be bothered to research who the guys are (holiday weekend and blogging from the remote sand castle) - but it's basically guy with a regional accent and smooth generic announcer voice guy.  I hated it and turned it off after two outs.  I guess it's where I'm from (not St. Louis) that makes me not dig it because you know what's on WFAN - a guy with a regional accent and a smooth generic announcer guy.

As we wake up this morning, Joe Torre has his team a half game out of first place.   I'd like to see Joe win the west.   He deserved better in the Bronx.  This is going to wind up being an oddball final season at Yankee Stadium II - no Torre, no Bob Sheppard, no playoffs.

As we wake up this morning, the Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball.  I feel like Rip Van Winkle. 

Missed this a week ago, and sorry to hear it.  The Tampa Tribune reported:

The Tampa Bay Rays will abandon ambitious plans to build a $450 million baseball stadium on the downtown waterfront in four years and instead get more people involved in assessing other locations, the team announced Wednesday.

The team, President Matt Silverman said at a news conference, no longer will seek the St. Petersburg public's vote this November on the open-air, 34,000-seat ballpark that the Rays proposed for the site of Progress Energy Park, home of Al Lang Field.

Open Letter To Verizon.   Ok we got it.  FIOS is great, Kevin Garnett has a lot of TVs and can watch TV in any room.  Please make it stop.  No more commercials.

Mets Police heading to Philly to investigate first hand what horrible uniform combination they will roll out today.  Would it kill them to wear the gray road uniforms?

Tomorrow on Mets Police - an open letter from a football Giants fan about personal seat licenses.  Good stuff, I'm saving it for a weekday.
