The actual story on the Mets survey

Jeez Louise I get busy for 48 hours and suddenly every other site is doing my act.

Yes the Mets sent out a survey asking fans what they like.  Some people are spinning this that the Mets are somehow evil masterminds trying to separate us from our money.

Maybe they just want to give the people what they want?

Anyway as much fun as it is to write snarky headlines about the Mets giving away pennants, the REAL story is the question below which I find hilarious.

 

Please consider the following scenario.

The Mets are playing a weekday night game vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citi Field. Please assume there are standard ticket prices. During any given week, how likely would you be to attend this game?

 Definitely would not attend
 Probably would not attend
 Not sure
 Probably would attend
 Definitely would attend
I love it.  I love how it basically says “Hey man, look, what the hell would it take you to come see the stupid Diamondbacks.”
And as for the infamous pennant question here you go.

Which of the following giveaways would you be MOST interested in?

 Sunglasses
 Collectors Cup
 Bobblehead
 Travel Case
 Mini Bat
 Tote Bag
 Backpack
 Texting Gloves
 Parking Sign
 Mini Glove
 T-shirt
 Travel Mug
 Drawstring Bag
 Wristband
 Puzzle
 Sleeved Blanket
 Pennant
 Cap
There’s nothing to be (bleep)ing snarky about.  It’s basically – if we give you some add-on value which do you want.  But I guess Mets offer you sunglasses to come to a game” just isnt a funny headline.
Leave the Mets Policing to the Mets Police.  We got this beat.
Sorry it took me two days to get to this but sometimes I do other things.  Buy some stuff on eBay and I wont have to work for a living and I’ll just sit on my deck and bust Wilpon balls all day long.  Believe me I’d be happy to sit on my deck.
And now, just when I thought I’d have some free Saturday time you guys fired me up.
Next up – Mark Healey calls us schmucks, and then Howard Megdal stuff.
It’s going to be a fun Saturday here on the deck!
