Note: Mets Limit Newspapers in Clubhouse

Yesterday, the Boston Globe a simple sentence in a notes column that read, “The Mets removed New York newspapers from the clubhouse to get rid of negative vibes.”

Today, Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post adds, “The Mets consider their players’ psyches so fragile that they no longer provide copies of The Post or the other New York tabloid in their Citi Field clubhouse.”

According to Hubbuch, “A source said team management didn’t want the players exposed to the ‘bad vibes’ from the tabloids.’

…well, maybe if they stopped referring to themselves as ‘tabloids,’ this would not have been a problem…

…anyway… from what i can gather, this isn’t for home games, but for road games, because only certain newspapers are available nationally… and so not to play favorites, having some papers in the clubhouse and not others, the team pulled them all – except for USA Today

…this does sound fishy… but, frankly, who cares… the team and players can choose to read what they want to read, or not read what they don’t want to read… if the players don’t care, why should i care…

…so long as they have computers to log on to MetsBlog.com, of course
