for someone called "Mets Police" shouldn't this blog be solely about the Mets or are you just a plain hypocrite?

I don't agree. I'm a New Yorker who lives in a universe of things that interest me other than Mets Mets Mets, particularly in the offseason.

I started the blog because I snapped one night. I'd finally had it with bizarre decisions, in this case it was of all silly things the Mets decision to have everyone wear #42 on Jackie Robinson Night, but without name plates. I hate name plates, but if you are going to remind people who #5 is, maybe you need them when everyone has the same #.

As for the "integrity" of the blog. I;m a fat guy who likes to run his mouth. I wouldn't take anything here too seriously. It's a blog.

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!
