49,789.

That’s the alledged number of people at Shea last night. (Yeah spare me, I know all about “paid attendance.”)

The number in the newspaper is 49,789.

Anyone watching the game last night saw an empty upper deck and an empty mezzanine.

49,789. That’s approximately the number of people who survived the Cylon attack on the colonies.

Even Howie Rose can’t believe that number.

I can’t find any pictures of last night’s game that aren’t closeups, but if you’re reading the Mets Police you probably watched the game and know I’m right.

49,789. Stop insulting us.

>Another great quote.

“It’s fertile ground for a team’s growth and development. Sometimes fertile ground has fertilizer. Fertilizer is a good thing. It’s a good thing. You get the greatest results, get the most beautiful plants, when you put it in that type of fertile soil.”

Some people are saying he’s giving the fans crap. I don’t. I think he’s just saying it’s been a crappy year but there are some building blocks.

This team can go two ways. It’s kind of old. However there are Wright, Maine and OverReyes, and maybe Pelfrey has figured it out…and maybe Perez resigns, and maybe there’s enough to build around if Omar stops giving two year contracts to 44 year olds.

Thunderstorms tonight, and the Mariners come to Shea every 6 years so enjoy sitting there all night. Sure glad there’s no dome at Citi Field.

So I was trying to figure out why Yogi Berra played with the Mets for a month in 1965. Why sign in late April and play 4 games. Then he was cut. Whose choice?

So I’m looking up Yogi in Google News and I stumble across this:

Mets Say Berra’s Job Is Safe–Unless Fans Say Otherwise; Mets Say Public Opinion Can Decide Berra’s Fate

By JOSEPH DURSO

The mauled Mets return to New York today after a week of nightmares and will face Henry Aaron, the Atlanta Braves and new questions about Yogi Berra’s job which the management in sisted yesterday was safe for the time being

I guess things don’t really change.
