2014 is the Light at the End of the Tunnel

So another Opening Day is upon us, and sportswriters all over New York are hard at work examining the Mets’ starting lineup, rotation, and bullpen in their attempt to predict how the season will go and where we’ll wind up come the end of September. Yeah, it’s not a pretty picture. We’ve been told time [...] more...

Did I do right by making my son a Mets fan?

My son turns 18 at the end of the month, and like many parents facing this watershed moment, I find myself wondering if I’ve done a good enough job in his upbringing. He seems to be an honest enough kid. He seems to care about others. He knows how to work hard, especially if it’s [...] more...

Mets Welcome Pyramid Scheme Company to Citi Field

Screen shot 2013-02-26 at 7.35.14 AM You cannot make this shit up! Let me get this straight. The New York Mets are just coming off a nightmarish few years dealing with the unfortunate Bernie Madoff situation. We’re talking about a friend of the Wilpon’s who basically ran a Ponzi scheme, a high stakes pyramid scheme, in which the Wilpon’s were heavily [...] more...

Lost in the Off-Season Void

Welcome to the Sports-less Void. Early February is a strange, uncomfortable time for baseball fans. For those of us who take our off-season refuge in football, the Super Bowl has come and gone, and chances are, we’ve had to watch some other team celebrate the championship that we were certain should have been ours. And [...] more...

2013 Home Run Derby Logo

HRDerbyCapture As featured on Mets Police, this is what appears to be the 2013 Home Derby logo. What do you guys think? We like the fact they used the apple since it’s iconic for Home Runs in Mets parks, though feel it’s very subtle and think they should have added additional graphic elements that ties this [...] more...

Yes, You CAN Enjoy the 2013 Mets Season

It was a dark time at Shea Stadium. High along the stadium’s outer wall, the latest in a series of feeble promotional slogans promised fans that “The Magic is Back!” On this late afternoon, though, there was little magic to be found, either in the deserted parking lot outside the ballpark, or on the field [...] more...

Amazin New Lows

empty seats Terribly unreal. Is this rock bottom? It’s just not possible to go any lower, is it? The crazy thing is, every time we think this team has hit bottom it finds new lows. Finishing strong is not in this teams DNA. How about finishing respectably? We can’t even get that. We’re now going on nine [...] more...

1962 Mets were better at home down the stretch

the_worst_mutha_cover We get it, this Mets team is in a free fall like we’ve never seen before. But they can’t be worse than the 1962 Mets who lost 120 games and winning only 40, could they? Ok so maybe they’re not as bad as the 62 team since they’ve already won 66 games, and that’s not [...] more...

Mets Fan Gets No-Hitter Punishment

The fan with the Gary Carter jersey on that got to celebrate the Mets first ever no hitter with the team on the field, albeit in the grasps of security getting mauled to the ground, officially received his punishment. The verdict? Five thousand bucks and 100 hours of community service. Could’ve been worse. It almost sounds [...] more...
