http://www.metspolice.com/ - Calling the Mets (and frankly anyone else) on the carpet for the stupid things they do. With love.
This is a few days old but I've been writing ahead to cover the blog this week while I'm on the road.
The NFL is worried about the length of games, which is a good thing. Much like baseball, the game has gotten way too long. It's very annoying when a game sails past 1pm and we ...

Yeah this is a lame post but I am on the road and wanted to have at least something "generic" every day in case i don't get to email something in.
Here's some info about the food at Citi Field.
Citi Field’s outfield concourse, accessible to all ticket holders, will feature:

Not yet...but this was a pretty interesting article from the other day (I'm on the road and pre-loading articles) with the MLS commissioner who discusses discussions with the Wilpons and some insight into the league philosophy of playing in the summer and having a playoff system.

I'm not an investigative reporter. I'm just a fat guy with a dopey blog. I keep reading stories every week about the Devils being accused of not paying their debts. Perhaps Newark should lock the building and encourage the Devils to find a new home until they pay up. ...

As Mike Mussina heads off to retirement, it's time to nominate him for the Hall. No, not the Hall of Fame, the Hall of Garvey. The Hall of Garvey is where the almost-greats go. It should be obvious who the founding member is. Don Mattingly? He's in the HOG. Keith Hernandez? First ballot HOG. ...

The owner of the A's wants to shorten the season by making the first round one game instead of five. I think he's on the right path, but his plan is unfair to the good teams. I like the Costas Solution. Shorten the season by playing something called ...

I got the MLB Christmas catalog yesterday and noticed that there are quite a few Mets items with a very dark blue, almost a Casey-era blue. These aren't random oddball caps or things labeled "Cooperstown Collection" - they're right there with all the normal items from the other teams.

Back Back Back opens tonight at the Manhattan Theater Club.
The play is a fictionalized inquiry into the strange saga of former Oakland A's teammates Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. The daring and talented playwright tosses in a third teammate, the lesser known shortstop Walt Weiss, as a ...

Pedro Martinez wants to pitch another year. He'd like to do it in Flushing. Omar should say no. The problem with Pedro is that he doesn't eat innings. It's OK to have a back-end starter who goes something like 10-15 as long as the guy chews ...

The Mets will open Citi Field against the Red Sox April 3 and 4. That's fun....and the Mets will get some extra money out of us, and it makes it less hideous that the home opener is a Monday night (awful Mets, awful awful awful).
So we can look forward to......oh wait....as always the ...

Anyone remember how much Franco was despised...(don't believe the revisionist history)....yeah he'd save the game after walking two guys and getting a double play. Well, I'm trying to write ahead this week so I can travel - and I saw this in the Sunday Post.
K-Rod did set the season ...

Donovan McNabb said he had no idea that a regular season game could end in a tie. How is that possible? Has he never looked at the standings? Isn't that a pretty basic rule of the game? Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile The Mets Police at www.metspolice.com

Congratulations to Jimmie Johnson on his third straight Sprint/Nextel Cup championship. Threepeat, impressive in any sport.
A tip of the hat to Carl Edwards on giving it his all, including winning the race.
Unfortunately for Carl, Dave Blaney didn't take out any leaders this week.

The NY Daily News continues their excellent job of keeping an eye on stadium money shenanigans.
Ask Not What Your Yankees Can Do For You is worth a read. Excerpts below.
Nowhere in Paterson’s budget cuts is there a mention of the state’s agreement to fund about $103 million ...

I hope Jimmie Johnson's car breaks today. Early. Like lap two.
I have nothing against Jimmie. In fact I hope he wins the Chase today (that's the NASCAR championship for you Mets fans). Let me catch the Yankees up - basically Jimmie has a huge lead (think "games ...

Would You Give Sabathia 6 Years and $137.5 Million?
The Yankees would.
I would too. The money doesn't matter any more. The days of getting excited over long crazy deals are over. Someone will give him the money (probably the Yankees) and we know that ticket prices go up every year ...

The Newark Bears have sold for $100,000. I think I could scrape up that much cash if I had to. The bad news is the new owner assumes $1 million in liabilities. I can't float that, but it does make them more honorable than the Devils who refuse to pay their rent.
I hope I'm ...
