The Mets Police: Meanwhile in Flushing...

Meanwhile in Flushing...

"The reality is that we've pretty much filled all our priorities, I'm set to go with this team."

"Our team today is better than it was last year."

Those quotes are from Omar Minaya in an article in Sunday's Newsday. Does any Mets fan believe what Omar says? The team is the same as 2008, just swap Redding for Four Inning Pedro, and K-Rod for Wagner. Unless you think that J.J. Putz puts this team over the top, its the same team, a case we made recently in this post .

When will Mets fans turn on Delgado this year? Is he allowed to have a slow April? Oh, and the God Bless America flap...that only matters when he isn't playing well, right?

As for the playing of God Bless America in the 7th, I don't want to be un-American or anti-God, but it was something that should have ended after the 2001 season. Now it's the kind of thing that you can't end without taking heat, but it sticks out like a sore thumb at some games, especially when the stadiums play the pre-recorded versions.

Speaking of pre-recorded versions....any chance we will hear from Bob Sheppard on opening day, or is Jim Hall the voice of The House That A-Rod Built?

Curious how others feel about A-Rod? Newsday went to the streets (below).

First off, I wrote about the Bill Madden idiot article myself. And yes, it is the dumbest thing ever put to paper.

And second, I think the Putz thing is actually pretty import. But I still think the Mets should go get Abreau.

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!
