The Mets Police: 2009 Mets Must Win World Series Or Else It's A Failure

2009 Mets Must Win World Series Or Else It's A Failure

2009 for the New York Mets has only two outcomes. Win the World Series or call the year a failure.

I know full grown adults who have never experienced the Mets winning the World Series. It's 2009 now, are you really nostalgic for the 2000 Mets? (link - The 2000 Mets Mean Nothing.

How about those Bobby V wild card teams? Remember those days with a twinkle in your eye?

2006 - is it really satisfying? It would have been OK if they had built off that (the way the 84 and 85 Mets are beloved).

A Wild Card isn't going to cut it.

A Division title isn't going to cut it. We did that in 2006 and mentally checked it off in 2007. Not good enough.

Going to the NLCS? Yawn. The playoffs are watered down, I'd rather daydream about 1988.

Going to the World Series and losing? Nope. Not going to cut it. I don't want to go 25 years between rings.

The Mets need to win the World Series. This is a new start. Shea is gone and the Mets are flush with money whether they choose to admit that or not. Leave the losing over underneath the new parking lot.

They still need pitching (see here: Does Omar Hate Satrting Pitching?) ....oh yeah and a catcher and second baseman and two outfielders. Omar you have the cash (thanks in part to my tax dollars going to bailout Corporate Bailout Taxpayer New Shea Field - again nobody should use the corporate name until the Mets stop taking bailout money).

..
www.metspolice.com in no way receives bailout money from Congress.

I think the theme for the Mets every year should be win the world series or failure. Over the last three years I feel the Mets should have made the playoffs each year, should have won at least one world series and made two appearances. The reality is they only made the playoffs once and have not been to a world series at all. Total failure in my book.

Well there are situations where less than a World Series can mean a successful year. I always think about how great 1984 was.

Win or not, the stadium will be emptier either way.......

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!
