Welcome to the first installment of Mets Enemies.
We’ve played exactly one game, but we already have people to “hate on.”
The list so far…and I invite your suggestions.
1. The San Diego Padres.
I want them to lose 122 games. I want them to draw 4,000 fans per game. I want them to go bankrupt and be moved to Puerto Rico by the commissioner’s office.
Why? Because the Padres can’t possibly play at 4:05 on Monday, instead we’ll get to open our new stadium in 39 degree weather…union rules blah blah and other lame excuses. Just play a day game.
2. The Florida Marlins.
I want them to lose 121 games. They already draw 4,000 fans. I want their new stadium funding to be lost. I want the commissioner’s office to take them over and move them to Montreal.
Why? Because they decided to play at 6pm on Saturday, and our next enemy has a exclusivity window and won’t let us see the Mets game.
3. Fox.
Really Fox? Will the world end if you let SNY televise the Mets game from 6 to 7pm against your precious window of exclusivity? We’re either going to watch the Yankee game or not. Whether or not the Mets are on doesn’t affect my interest level in the Yankees. Maybe YES should ask SNY to black out tonight’s game. Ridiculous? Exactly.
4. Flo-Rida.
Flo-Rida is now an Enemy of the Mets. I don’t want to hear any of his music played at Citi Field ever.
Why? Because he’s having a post-game concert at the Marlins game, which is why the game is at 6, which is why it’s not televised. No Flo-Rida, no concert. No concert, game is at 7. Game at 7, it’s on TV.
Flo-Rida brings the enemy list from one to four. That’s a lot for only one game, and the Phillies haven’t ran their mouths yet.
Any suggestions?
