Mets Beat offered Grilled Cheese tonight

It is time for Bread and Circuses. Keep the beat well fed so they don’t ask difficult questions.

For all of you who were mad that the bloggers sold out a decade ago for Half A Steak Sandwich and a bottle of water, watch out and make sure your favorite beat writer or TV personality hasn’t sold out for a grilled cheese.

My inside sources with the Mets tell me The Mets will be serving complimentary grilled cheeses that are offered at “From the Stretch” in the back of the press box today.

From the Stretch, a Citi Field exclusive, is a new pinwheel style grilled cheese concept that will have you dying for more…Menu items served at From the Stretch include the Ultimate Grilled Cheese, which has provolone and American cheeses with a pimento spread in a pinwheel flat bread served with a tomato fondue…The stand also serves the Ultimate Patty Melt, a Pat LaFrieda burger patty, Swiss cheese fondue served on an ultimate grilled cheese…Lastly, there is the perfect snack, the loaded kettle chips featuring house-made kettle chips, Swiss cheese and tomato fondue and garnished with parsley…From the Stretch is located behind Section 105…Select items can also be found in the Jim Beam Highball Club.

Also The Mets fell to the Giants, 8-0, last night…The Mets have lost four of their last five and nine of their last 11 games…The Mets are 14-24 since the All-Star break…New York continues a 10-game, nine-day homestand (0-1) against the Giants (0-1), Nationals (three games) and Marlins (four games) but hey GRILLED CHEESE!
