This was an interesting week. Â Strangely feisty at times. Â Most importantly we had a good discussion. Â Before I recap the most-popular from the week, it seemed a good time to re-post some information about me and the site.
This is a site that mixes fan advocacy with a general love of the Mets, often daydreaming about the 70’s and 80’s. Â There are plenty of Mets blogs out there who provide news or insight into last night’s game. Â Here, we’re less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.
We’d like the team to always treat the fans with respect.
We’re just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).
So why do it?  Once the site found its voice, I found that I really enjoy when Mets Police can help fellow fans.  The day Albert asked me to call him because a Mets ticket rep called him a bad fan?  A few hours later he had his apology.  It made the mainstream press.
I think of The Mets changing the name of the ticket plan from “Saturday” to “Saturday Plus” after me complaining about if for a year, yeah that felt good and yeah I’m taking credit on that one.
I enjoy posting pictures of Obstructed Views and getting on Dave Howard for not admitting they exist.  Dave went on WFAN  and said fans overreacted.  Well Dave, I’m here for the other side of the story, the side of the customer.
Around all this forms a community. Â I hope you’ll be part of it.
- Metsblog threw MP a link, so the top read item was these  pictures of McFadden’s, under construction at Citi Field.  I think these pics show where the new fan bricks are going.
- This is a picture of the Citi Field center field fence. Is that a white line or just a shadow?
- Another discussion centered around the Mets not including a physical Media Guide with this year’s 15 game plans. Â Personally, I hope they will go with an opt-in solution where those who want a guide can get one.
- This was a nice story about how the Mets gave good tickets to those who donated blood.
- My new awesome Franchise Cap arrived.
- Dan proposed that MLB copy the Premier League when it comes to realignment.

Here’s some pictures of Yankee Stadium’s demolition. It’s too bad there’s no way to partially gut a stadium and make it newer.

Luis Castillo’s baseball card is pretty funny.
The Mets have quietly admitted there are obstructed views, a story now picked up by the Times, NBC, and Post.  Dave Howard, where’s my apology?
This regularly gets clicked: It might make financial sense, but it sure is annoying to think Bobby Bonilla will get $1 million a year from the Mets from 2011-2035.
I was surprised people clicked on this one, I thought I was just being cranky:Â Do the Mets bosses really think this uniform looks good?
