An interesting read from The Guardian..

“A predatory project is being dumped in our community that disproportionately harms our people,” said Jack Hu, 35, a Flushing resident and member of the No Casino in Flushing Meadows Corona Park campaign. “This community is really upset about this project and how it was pushed through without our consent.”

Metropolitan Park is a casino and entertainment project backed by the New York Mets owner, Steve Cohen, and Hard Rock International through Queens Future LLC. The development would turn parking lots next to Citi Field at Willets Point into a casino, hotel, restaurants, an entertainment district and a public park between the Flushing and Corona neighborhoods.

Mets Police would like to point out it already was a public park, perhaps not the kind of visual you like, but it was parkland, which was handed over to billionaires.  There is already a casino in Queens by Aqueduct.

Elon has ruined twitter to the point I don’t even know how (or if you can) embed videos any more.  So click on this link to watch an actually fun Mets related video!

Here are some games you could attend as the Mets attempt to go FIVE decades without winning the World Series, having completed four decades.

Nothing here excites me. The @Cubs series is in September.  We need that in June please.

Anyway, let me know when Lindor is off this team and maybe I will try to care.

There was a time when that would have been an immediate red alert and immediate blogging. But Steve Cohen has completely destroyed any affinity I had for the Mets so I walked my dog for an hour.  Then I went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe.  Then I watched some soccer and THEN I remembered about the manager thing.

Andy Green?  Who is Andy Green?  I wondered if I was so disconnected that maybe I didn’t know this guy was the bench coach or something. I’m still not sure. I also don’t care.

I googled “Who is Andy Green” and learned he had managed the Padres without me noticing.

Anyway, he’s the interim manager and I still won’t bother watching any Mets games and won’t be spending any money on the Nets until Lindor is gone.

I look forward to the off-season press conference where Steve and the new manager tell us about the new culture

As for Mendoza, you guys sure loved him the summer of the gimmick team.  He was no better or worse than he was in 2024   This is all on David Stearns, as David Stearns is on Steve Cohen

Now if 700 Mets fans attend a soccer game in Norway, then I will be impressed.
