The Mets Police: Most Popular Articles On Mets Police (May 31)

Most Popular Articles On Mets Police (May 31)

Our weekly recap of the most popular articles (and a few that deserved more love)....

On Memorial Day I mentioned that the 2009 Mets remind me of the 1987 Mets - as I type this sentence Wayne & Howie are telling me that John Maine has the stomach bug (him and Beltran. uh oh.) so now it reminds me of '87 even more. Sometimes a team is just snakebit, and the 1987 Mets sure were.

We've had some healthy discussion about whether or not the Shea Stadium markers are misplaced. I'm not sure - wouldn't shick me, yet I'm not sure I believe it. Fun topic though.

Definitely misplaced are the old pennant logo thingies. They used to be on the right field wall - now they are misplaced on 126th street. More pics here.

You may want to register for Subway Series tickets. Note that the Sunday game has been moved to a night game for ESPN. Thanks ESPN.

Speaking of tickets, the Mets and I have different ideas about what a Saturday is.

This Joe Torre guy is pretty good. Probably should have managed the '08 Mets. June 1, 1977 Joe was hired by the Mets - two weeks later they traded Tom Seaver.

Meet the Mets was played Friday instead of Sweet Caroline. I don't know what happened over the weekend.

Popular every week: Inside the Caesar's club and inside the Acela club at Citi Field, and the Complete Citi Field pictures including obstructed views.

I know you got a definition of "obstructed view" from the Mets that doesn't jive with reality, so I'll give you the link to the definition of "Saturday" to see if it matches how it's defined in the "Saturday" plan.

In short, "Saturday is the day of the week between Friday and Sunday." Hope that helps.

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!
