Seaver Talks About Shea
The Mets Have Returned My Money
I would like to thank the Mets for finally returning my money.
Took two weeks but my playoff ticket money was refunded.
It should have been done the first day.
Daily News Buys Propoganda But Doesn’t Ask WHY A New Stadium?
Flipping through the News this morning I saw this nonsense:
Giants and Jets owners say they had no choice with pricey PSLs
Really? That’s interesting. No choice huh? Let me read more…
Mara says that the Giants would have been unable to avoid the PSL program even if they had known how severe the financial crisis would become. “That program is necessary to complete the construction of the new stadium,” he says.
Oh. Interesting. The PSLs fund the new stadium.
The question nobody answers, and the question the mainstream media continues not to ask is:
WHY DID THEY NEED A NEW STADIUM?
Show me one fan, Giants or Jets, who had a problem with the “old” stadium. Any complaints are related to parking (especially since construction started on the Xanadu boondogle). It’s hard to get their on mass transit, more so now that they made it a two seat ride. Building a new stadium in the exact same place solves none of these issues.
The Giants are…let me check….undefeated and the Super Bowl champions. The Jets were able to get this Brett Favre guy. The NFL still has revenue sharing and a pretty good TV contract.
You wanted to make even more money.
You wanted to make even more money.
You wanted to make even more money.
Be honest when sending out those $20,000 invoices.
>Mets Will Sell Anything – Even Seaver's Locker.
>Faith & Fear Correctly Asks…Must The Mets Sell EVERYTHING even Seaver’s locker?
Why wouldn’t you preserve the locker of your only indisputable Hall of Famer and display it somewhere at Ebbets Faux? Why wouldn’t you fix it up, recreate its 1969 persona, embellish it with era-specific equipment and a few Tom tchotchkes and place it somewhere where Mets fans could oohand aah over it?
The answer of course is that they don’t understand nor respect the fanbase.
The Mets need $41,000. If they don’t have that $41,000 the franchise might fold. Now a cynic might think they easily make $41,000 in parking every time they make us drive to Flushing when the game will obviously be rained out. The cynic thinks that maybe you could have paid Jose Catillo $41 grand less. That;s just being cynical. The Mets need $41,000. They also need to pay me back for the playoff tickets they sold me. Isn’t that fraud?
