What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig told Chicago media Wednesday that as soon as he assigns the 2013 game, he’ll look at sites for the 2014 game, and Wrigley is among the candidates.

Wrigley had it in 1990. “Comiskey” in 2003.
2013 still not announced.
KC is an AL city. Cubs are NL. There were two straight NL cities in 2006 and 2007 (Pitt and SF).
This neon sign is kinda nice. If the font were more Metsy I might get it. I’m also too lousy to mount it.

Commissioner Bud Selig said he has discussed contingency plans for East Coast games that could be affected by the storm this weekend.
The Phillies, Orioles, Red Sox and Mets are all scheduled to play home games this weekend.…
While there is a chance Sunday’s game could be rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Friday or possibly Saturday, the Braves had not been contacted by the Mets or Major League Baseball as of Wednesday afternoon.
The Braves and Mets share just one common off-day, Sept. 8, next month.
Personally and selfishly I’d love to see the Mets make a very early “don’t worry about coming” / raincheck offer early so that folks don’t even have to worry about wasting tickets.
I don’t know the ins and outs of how ticket revenue is shared but in a world where all options are available I’d like to see an announcement where tickets for Saturday and Sunday can both be used and also you’ll be given credit for a game in 2011 or a choice from select dates in 2012.
I’m personally worried about traveling to Queens for a Saturday 4pm game…not out of safety..but my time is valuable.
Ooooh the Mets placed Wright on waivers. Panic panic overreact.
Read Cerrone for a nice level headed explanation.
The short version is that teams regularly do this because you can always pull a guy back (unlike irrevocable waivers).
So as much as we like Wright, if the Phillies call and offer you Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay and their best 5 prospects well then maybe you think about playing Murphy at 3B next year.
