What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Both Sterling and Waldman called YS freezing tonight.
They are using words like numbing, blustery, miserable and of course windy.
I'm about 35 miles from the Bronx but I find it to be "nice" out.
Is this a weather fluctuation or is the stadium a miserable place at night?
Anyone closer than I am with a weather report?

Shareholders — many in suits, a few in baseball hats and jean jackets, and one in a beadazzled red satin cap — brought up other issues, too, questioning Citigroup’s underwriting standards for credit cards, the government’s involvement in the bank, executive compensation and the decision to sponsor the New York Mets ballpark, Citi Field.
Evelyn Y. Davis, a long-time shareholder who every year takes several trips to the microphone, called the Citi Field deal the “most stupid thing” and a waste of shareholder money.

Kinda cool. Maybe this exists on other systems, but I have Fios so I like this.
(please note I only said positive things in this post!)
Verizon FiOS TV cracked its second sports on-demand home run in as many weeks, reaching a deal Tuesday with New York area regional sports network SNY to offer New York Mets baseball games and other channel fare sports on a video-on-demand basis.
Verizon will also look to offer SNY’s HD feed — sans Mets games — nationally, similar to an agreement it reached last week with YES, according to SNY officials.
SNY will offer its New York City subscribers free on demand access to more than 120 Mets regular-season baseball telecasts for three days after the games are played, as well a classic Mets games. In addition FiOS TV subscribers will have access to Big East programming, including the Big East “Game-of-the-Week,” for both football and basketball.

Some good Mets Policing happening on Newsday’s website (below). Personally, I surprise even myself in that i like the black fence. Maybe it’s my penchant for the NY Giants, maybe it just looks nice…or maybe I’m a dope. I concede I’m in the minority and by no means will I oppose painting it blue.
I know the Mets threw out some nonsense that they couldn’t find a shade of blue that would work.
On to Newsday..
I like the idea of painting the outfield wall blue, too, but I doubt the Mets will cave on that one. As crazy as it sounds, they probably believe it will clash with the green seats and faux-brick exterior. The more I see that black wall, the more ridiculous it looks, and what harm could a ribbon of Mets blue do around the outfield?
Next on the agenda — getting rid of the Red Sox’s eighth-inning anthem, “Sweet Caroline.” That probably ain’t happening either. I’m just never going to understand why you would take a song that another team already has established as their own — especially a high-profile team like the Red Sox. Am I the only one who hears the boos when it comes on?
He’s 100% right about Caroline. Then again the Mets were stupid enough to rip off YMCA for a few games too.
I’m loving the Graffiti Wall – finally an original tradition we can call our own! Thanks Doc! Maybe the Mets should ask the MTA for an old subway car to stick in CF.
