Mets develop new amazing No Fees Tickets technology

For decades scientists said it was impossible, but the Mets have figured out a way to transfer information to you without charging you several dollars a ticket.  This is absolutely amazing.

I wonder what brought this on?  Maybe tickets are moving slowly?  Maybe the Mets are just kind?

Will the Mets go bankrupt selling tickets without fees?   Only time will tell.

Anyone wanna guess what color Mets napkins are?

Will is trying to upset me.  He sent this over yesterday:

Hey Shannon – I’m visiting my girlfriend’s family for Fathers Day and I just made an irksome discovery.

In the local party store, i found officially licensed Mets party napkins designed to look like a uniform jersey. Guess what color they are?

Let’s see.  Napkins are usually white.   So I will guess white.   What would look good on white….maybe a nice traditional Mets logo.  Maybe the NY?  Maybe Mets?   Yep, I’ll guess white with a nice blue Mets in the traditional home font.  Let’s take a look…
