I’m still having fun, I’m still following the season, but I do have eyes and I can tell you the Mets suck.
If you saw the game you saw Pagan’s attempt to steal home, and you saw the popped up bunt in the 9th, and you know the Mets suck.
I do think things will get better when Bay returns and there is someone in left who can catch a ball, and maybe even hit a sac fly.
Not sure what else to say. I did really like this comment from Eric which stuck with me all day:
There used to be something lovable about the Mets, win or lose. With all that has happened, and with tickets prices what they are, it no longer feels that way. There’s too much baggage, too many on and off field scandals and too high of ticket prices to feel the Mets can be lovable losers at this point.
For me, Shea felt like an old friend, a place you went at the drop of a hat to relax, win or lose. Everything about Citi Field is set up to feel like an event. With the Mets playing so poorly, I don’t feel psyched to be at Citi, whereas at Shea, I’d just be happy to be there on a sunny day with my cheap seats. Maybe it’s just nostalgia for my youth, but I think other people might feel it too.
I still love my Mets, and I’m still going to games (I’ll be there Saturday again) but for now, the excitement isn’t there. I hope that changes.
Let’s see…memories of Citi Field….injuries, more injuries, the worst start ever. Yep, not much to work with there. Perhaps renaming it Citibank Shea Stadium would change the karma. You guys in Flushing sleep on that one.
