Why the Mets need to hire someone from the Wrigley Field staff

The Mets should call Wrigley Field as soon as they are done reading this and hire whoever is the number two guy in Fan Relations at Wrigley Field.

Imagine this…

 

Not one.  Not two.  Not three.  Not four.  But FIVE different ushers walked up to me, seeing me in my Mets gear and…

…you’re waiting for me to say they shooed me…

….asked if I would like them to take my picture.

FIVE.

Ushers suggested I move down closer to the railing so I could take more photos.

Ushers suggested I go upstairs behind home plate because it’s a great place to take a shot.

Meanwhile in Citi Field it seems as if every usher is out to be mean.  I feel shooed.  I try to stand in the sun and I get shooed.

I don’t feel welcome.

Read that again Mets…

I DON’T FEEL WELCOME.

Yes you’ll take my money and you’ll tolerate me getting what I paid for but I DON’T FEEL WELCOME.

Put someone on a plane and send them to the next game at Wrigley.  Have them go as a civilian.  Hell Jeff YOU do it incognito.  It will be eye-opening.

The fans want to embrace your brand, Mets.  Sometimes we just want to stand in the sun.  Sometimes you don’t make it easy on us.

Must Read: The excellence of Matt Harvey and the misery of the Mets - Grantland

I kinda loved this.

I missed this one during a busy week, but I don’t think it got much pickup in the blogosphere.  It’s a good long read from which I excerpt.  I wanted to excerpt the whole darn thing!

And yet it’s worth asking if a better roster and an improved record would actually cure what ails these Mets. [...]
