The Mets Police: If A Tree Falls In The Woods

If A Tree Falls In The Woods

On Monday I write a column for Flushing University, and this week I was so not-into the Mets, I almost forgot to write one...but here it is:

If a tree falls in the woods but nobody is around to hear it does it make a sound? If the Mets get eliminated from 2009 while everyone is watching the NFL and catching Sanchez fever does it make a sound? If John Maine returns from the DL and pitches and it gets one paragraph in the newspaper does it make a sound? If Carlos Beltran comes back from the DL and plays every day does it make a sound? if Jose Reyes shows up for the last week of the season does it make a sound? If David Wright someday passes Ed Kranepool for most franchise hits will it make a sound like Jeter's? If SNY does another silent inning, will it make a sound? If you watched 12 hours of the NFL and forgot Sunday Night Baseball even existed, and then fell asleep on the couch with the game on, did your wife make a sound? If the Mets schedule a "Saturday plan" on a Thursday night, announce 96% capacity but there's obviously like 11,000 people in the house, did they make a sound? If the Mets ticket office calls you to renew your season tickets, will you make a sound?

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!
