What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Was chatting with some fellow Mets fans. As Mets fans we are doom and gloom since it has been wired into our DNA.
What happens if say Terry Collins’ Mets are 11 and 16 on the morning of May 1st?
A good start is always important (My Yankees friend Mr. Sunshine spoke all summer about some dumb loss the NYY’s had in April) but for our collective panic it might be important for the New Regime to get off to a fast start.
I concede that it’s the Royals who only drew 1.6 million paid in 2010 to 52.9% capacity….however it caught my eye that they have a 13 game value plan. Even more amazing and unrealistic for NYC is that you can sit in the outfield uppers for $65. No not %65 per game, $65 for the season!
I understand that the Mets are playing with a different set of parameters, but the whole “13 Sundays” thing is fascinating.
To be fair they also offer a crappy “Wednesday/Saturday” package that I look at and see “Wednesday Plus.”
In other random news, the A’s have scheduled a doubleheader on purpose. Kinda cool. Next thing you know they’ll be letting fans walk around with signs between games.
This next one is called “Ice” by New Era. Nice cap for civilians.
A sequel to yesterday’s post which you should read or much of the below will make no sense (but I’m in a silly mood today).
While driving home last night listening to some Springsteen I changed my mind about Terry Collins. Bruce prophesized this back in 1975 when he said, “One soft infested summer, me and Terry became friends” and
“Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me, Terry, it don’t matter to me now”
Is Jeff Wilpon the narrator in Backstreets? Interesting.
Anyway…Randy from The Apple accepted yesterday’s challenge and made this awesomeness.
I like how Randy has made Colactus into a hero. When I combine that concept with this being the summer Terry and me become friends I’m kind of excited (in a weird blogger way). I love the name Colactus and look forward to typing it for years as Terry destroys the other teams in MLB while he becomes the new Joe Torre.
I’m also digging how comic book stuff looks on the site (for weekend stuff anyway).
Kneel before Colactus!
Thanks to Randy and thanks to Matthew Callan for his inspiring title.
