What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Well maybe I changed the headline the Washington Post used but I didn’t make up the quote.
“And I know the Wilpons. They’re very sensitive about all this.”
What’s the “this?” Bud Selig says the Yankees and Mets are considering adjusting the price of the premium seats.
In the article the teams spokespeople deny they are considering it.

Dear Mr. Mazzilli and Mr. Backman. You may want to update your resumes. Don’t send them just yet, and no need for Mr. Carter to apply. The Mets can’t have a bad team when they are already only drawing 36,000 in a new park. Sorry Jerry, even though it’s Omar that didn’t get you pitching. I love you but the Yankees are off today and the sweep stunk, the sports talk sharks will be out.
The Mets went oh for three in St. Louis while wearing hideous black uniforms (that said Mets not NEW YORK). Kind of like your softball team might wear.
While I’m on the uniform rag again – put the NY back in the Mets logo. Why did they take that out? Do they think more people come from NJ now that the mets aren’t all associated with New York? (Hmmm, that would explain the jerseys.) Maybe the really are moving to Mercury in 2023?
Traditionally the Mets have only won the World Series while wearing pinstripes. Just sayin’

Ken Belson, a cool guy that gets it writes in the Times..
Where have you gone, Tug McGraw? Apparently, to the windswept left-field entrance of Citi Field.
The Mets have taken a lot heat from fans angry about the ticket prices and the obstructed views at Citi Field. A vocal minority of fans have also complained that the new $800 million ballpark does not do enough to honor the team’s history.
..
Where, other fans complain, are the banners that used to hang inside Shea that could be seen from the escalators? (They were sold at auction.) What happened to the 1969 photo montage that adorned the outside of the right-field stands? (Gone like the stadium.) Where is the bronze statue of Mike Piazza hitting his famous home run in September 2001? (Not on the drawing board yet.)
That’s you guys Mets Police fans! Check out the whole piece.

As I’ve been saying……now said by Wallace Matthews in Newsday.
..it makes you wonder if, when the Yankees moved across the street, they left more than just an old ballpark behind.
The old Stadium was a vibrant, rowdy, sometimes dangerous but always living place where baseball was the primary language spoken, Here, it seems sterile, corporate and frighteningly devoid of buzz. And if you can’t feel the buzz during the honeymoon, when will you feel it?
It doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season, because if you’re not feeling the mojo now, you probably never will. Sure, the place will sell out when the Red Sox or Mets are in the house, but for the first time in many years, get used to the place being half-full, or if the Yankees ever fall out of contention, a lot less than that.
You know, they probably could get Old Yankee Stadium back in shape within a month. I don’t suppose the Yankees want to move back home after the All-Star break? Just sayin’
Let’s ask the Yankees fans. I know it will never happen…but would you rather they move back?

DyHrdMET has left a new comment on your post “Padres File Complaint Against Mets Citi Field“:
do you think now the Mets are going to let Gary, Keith, and Ron broadcast a game from the stands like they did last year?
Absolutely, and they’ll be placed in a good spot where they can see, so they won’t know. More on that in a second….
And lay off the Padres. You wouldn’t want to start 2 games 24 hours apart on different coasts/time zones either. We had that last year going to San Francisco. It wasn’t fun. Lay into the idiots who scheduled the Padres for our home opener in the first place.
While it was dopey to schedule the Padres (if you’re going to have a SoCal team in for Jackie Night why not have the Dodgers?) I don’t feel bad for people who fly charters and have to play a game at 4:05pm as opposed to 7:05. Sometimes I have to travel for business. I close my eyes on the plane, suck up the 6 hours sleep, and then get over it. It was dumb.

Steve Somers is a smart guy, and no shill. So, even though I wasn’t listening lasnight, I’m sure he was being sarcastic–probably at the expense of pro-Citi media as much as the Wilpons and the Mets themselves.
I actually had heard him do it on other nights before I mentioned it. He really believes we’re being whiny. I don’t think Steve is evil, I just think he doesn’t have the information. He’s on the air when the Mets are home, it’s quite probable he’s never been to the Promenade.
Similarly I don’t expect that Keith, Ron and Gary are walking up to the Promenade and sitting in the third row. They just don’t know what’s going on. Keith barely wants to finish the game some nights, I doubt he’s going home and reading Mets Police.
Steve’s monologues are some of the greatest radio around. Very amazing stuff (no pun).
I love the idea of Mazz coming back, I’m Latino and I respect old coaches like Sandy Alomar Sr. but I feel all he’s doing is collecting a paycheck from Omar. We need some new blood.
It must be “Meet the Mets”…..we have our own song, why not use it!!!????????
DyHrdMET has left a new comment on your post “Paint The Wall Blue Already (Newsday)“:
I thought I read somewhere that there was a physical reason why blue wasn’t used on the fence. something to do with the fabric or weight or something.
I heard that too. Does that make any sense at all? Is blue heavier than black?
i think it should be blue, but the color scheme they have is sharp, and if it’s a nod to the Polo Grounds (it’s not the 500ft CF that I wanted to see), i’m ok with it.
What about this? Make the outfield wall the autograph wall.
didn’t they settle on the Monkees’ “I’m A Believer” last year as our 8th inning song? It worked for me, but I can see why it wouldn’t be good any more.
