So this is Metsivus, and what have the Mets done? Another year over, and this is time where we gather for the annual Airing Of Grievances so that we can get things out of our system and move forward together toward the 2014 World Series.
1. Terry Collins
Terry, please leave Murph alone this year. He bats second and plays second. That’s it. Really easy to remember. Just write Murphy – 4 162 times and it will take care of itself.
2. Terry Collins
Letting Jon Niese throw 101 pitches in the cold in Minnesota, and then in his next start having Niese throw 96 in snowy Colorado?
3. Jordany Valdespin
Oh Jordany, you may have been the most unsuccessful Met of all time, and that’s really saying a lot. You are so Marliny that it’s great that you are a Marlin now. It was your destiny and you knew it.
4. Ike Davis
If a certain someone would hit then everyone would be like “hey cool we have a second baseman who it .286 with 13 HRs, 92 runs and 23 steals.” Instead we’re always trying to trade second base to fix first base.
5. Michael Baron
Mike from MetsBlog never saw a trade rumor about Murphy that he wouldn’t retweet, usually when I was on my way home and trying to relax. Instead my blood pressure went through the roof.
6. 2013 Opening Day Tickets starting at $63
Man nothing frosted me like that one.
All in all a pretty positive year. I bet one of you will remind me of something to add to the list, but once Opening Day was over most of my problems were related to people never being happy with Murphy for some reason.
What grievances do you have?
….
Come gather with the rest of the family at Queens Baseball Con on January 18th at McFadden’s. Darling, Kranepool, panels, trivia games, calendar girls, dunk tank, mascots and more…
One probably shouldn’t speak harshly of the departed but my Metsivus grievance is towards Justin Turner. His childish boorish act of smooshing shaving cream pies in his teammates’ faces got really really old in 2013.
Ticket Prices at $iti Field!!!
It’s the main reason I stopped going since 2010.
Every day is Metsivus at Mets Police! Maybe for the new year you could take a break from trying to be miserable about everything Mets. If nothing else it would be a refreshing change.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! LGM!!
Actually I think the complaint ratio of posts has been pretty low lately. Now my twitter feed is something else entirely!
1) Play more night spring training games! Believe it or not, most people in Florida work! I have never understood this. They are always the most attended games no matter who they are playing.
2) Field a better team than the St. Lucie Mets this year!
