What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the abundance of beach volleyball coverage on NBC but I enjoy it.
That was a great job by May-Treanor & Walsh coming back against the Belgians, and great job out of the Belgians in that first game last night.
May/Walsh have been on an amazing run, not having lost in a year. An incredible dominating accomplishment, enjoy it.
I see Mark Spitz is getting grief for not showing up in Beijing. As he represents it, he wasn’t invited. If that’s accurate I gotta side with him. If he just showed up I think people were accuse him of trying to make it about him or take some shot about wanting one last minute in the limelight.
However, if invited he should show.
Either way, great accomplishments by both men, and Phelps complete dominance and margins of victory are nothing short of amazing.
I got nothing new for you. The kids are buzzing about this clip…skip to the end when Chad Johnson talks about Michael Phelps.
“We’re going to win it next year. If we need to add a top veteran pitcher, we’ll do that. We’ll do whatever we need to do. Next year we’ll be extremely dangerous.”
Those are the words of Hank Steinbrenner. He also said they weren’t giving up on this year, but that sounds like a man who has moved on.
Behind the plate – $495
Good Field Level – $225, $175 and $150 (by row)
Field Level Beyond Bases – $125 to $225
Promenade (fancy name for Upper Deck) – “averages $19”
They will continue doing the gold, silver, tin nonsense.
And here is the quote from Mets VP Dave Howard that I will use over and over and over for the next 40 years.
We were trying to produce revenue that would support our expenses and our debt service but also balance that against the realities that tickets were going to be going up for our customers. We were going to deliver qualitatively a far, far higher product for them.”
Ok, you’ve jacked the prices and you’ve made a promise. Mets Police will be on the case.
