This guy is off his rocker….wants to ditch Fenway, and his inspiration for such a thought was Citi Field! Really dude? Really?
The reason Citi Field has no soul is not because it is new, it’s because Shea also had no soul. It was a terrible park built for a terrible team in the mid 1960s, it was not the shrine that we have in Boston. While the Mets fans certainly have great memories like the miracle Mets of ’69 and [gulp] winning the World Series in 1986, destroying an outfield once patrolled by Darrell Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell is not the same as demolishing Williams’ left field or the mound where everyone from Joe Wood to Lefty Grove to Luis Tiant to Roger Clemens pitched. You can’t expect a new building to have that kind of grandeur when the original park didn’t have it to begin with.
I enjoy Bitter Bill, his take on Jack Clark-gate and some of his back and forth with Mets Blog. Cerrone (Metsblog guy) was on ‘FAN this morning but I forgot my portable listening device. Hopefully they’ll post it. Boomer and/or Carton can’t get back soon enough by the way.
Looking forward to the Gehrig thing that MLB is doing this weekend (all stadiums will play his speech) but I wonder if Sterling or someone will say “it was just a block from here where Lou….” So absurd that they moved. Fenway dude needs to visit New New Yankee before he goes taking the Sox to the Soxdome.
If anyone has time – I wonder what a “season ticket” for a Saturday package would cost at Citi if you assembled your own on Stubhub. I intend to try to work on the math of that this weekend, but if someone else is bored at work today and wants to help the Mets Police out, send your findings to [email protected]
Thanks to Amazin’ Avenue for the link. They are definitely one of the blogs that should be on your daily rounds….speaking of which, on the 4th I will republish the list of “Mets blogs you should check out” – if you have a suggestion drop me a note. [email protected]
Jerry should’ve used K-Rod for at least 4 outs if not 6 yesterday. Torre would have. I can argue the 6, but not bringing in K-Rod in the 8th….dangerous. If he can save a game in the dopey WBC he can save one the day after a team meeting.
Enjoy another day game! Only 2 out…amazing. I may have to check out the Phillies blogs to look for suicidal fans.
