Good morning friends. Mets Police will be good today. I have tons of stuff – so much that I decided to hold everything I had originally scheduled, have loaded 4 more and that’s before I even check the news sources or my email.
I have pics of Citi Field, I have another teaser about my trip and some other stuff plus or minus Mets news of the day (if Seaver unretires I’ll hold the goods).
For leadoff, here’s something I wasn’t expecting to be writing about on Monday night.
When I got home from Citi Field last night I had several pieces of mail from the NYM’s. Old fashioned mail, not email. I think thus might be what Mr. Sunshine was referring to yesterday – I assumed he meant email but now I think I was wrong about that. (It would only add to the mystery of how they got his home address).
I’m writing this on Monday night and haven’t really gone through it yet but here’s some of my famous crappy photography. Click on the images for much bigger (but blurry) versions. I stink at photos.
Here’s where I surprise you. I like it. It’s really nicely done and I look forward to going through it more slowly. It’s smart business. The cynic in me wants to somehow tie it to the pre-sales, but this isn’t some fly by night mailing, clearly some work went into this…so it’s not like they decided last Friday to hit the panic button.
From what I can tell they must have sent it to everyone in their database who ever signed up for a ticket lottery – even my dog got a copy.
Oh, sign up for the Blue Cap Army if you haven’t already.
Update: I took a longer look at the brochure. It’s really well done. My knees buckled and I started staring at the Saturday plus plan. Maybe Junior and I could go to some games. Maybe I’d like Promenade Infield. Then I did the math and realized for the $700 plus it would cost that it wasn’t worth it to me. I will just buy when I feel like going. However, the brochure is good. It may sway you. Well done ticket guys.
Another update: Â Mr. Sunshine (Yankees fan) confirms he did get the brochure and not an email. Â I Castillo’d that one. Â Sorry Mets.
