The Mets Police: One Thing Hank Steinbrenner Was Right About

One Thing Hank Steinbrenner Was Right About

division play, hank steinbrenner, mets, Wild Card

The other day Hank said this (during a backhanded rip of Joe Torre):

"The biggest problem is the divisional setup in major league baseball. I didn't like it in the 1970s, and I hate it now,"

About that, I agree. I despise Wild Cards, even when the Mets win them. I hate the division series. I can barely stomach the playoffs. Win the league, play a best of 7 and move on. Let teams finish 14th. Too bad, play better.

You know I hate the 3 divisions, but I dont see anything wrong with 2. We grew up with it, and as far as I know, unless you are lying about your age, it wasnt a problem. Chambliss HR in '76, Mets/Astros in '86, its all good.

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!
