What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I spent Sunday watching football and cleaning out my inbox (sorry if I was late getting back to you on anything, I am caught up now and can be reached at [email protected]) and found this from Scott’s awesome collection. I don’t think I have posted this one.
Love the Craig Swan ad.
Terence wore this cool jersey to last night’s game and paired it with a nice Mr. Met cap. No black!
The Mets paid attendance last night was 24,384.
First some perspective from Paul:
Before anybody even thinks about griping about the Mets attendance tonight:
12,061 in Cincinnati
18,647 in Atlanta
Now some opinion from Walt the @formerdirtdart
Some time during the last road-trip, and the end of the first game of this home-stand, Mets/MLB adjusted the Mets attendance numbers.
The June 10th second game (Gm2 of Day-Night Doubleheader/split ticket dates) attendance was reduced from 28,072 to 14,733 (-13,339). This was a make-up game for the rain-out of the June 9th game. It was also Niese’s One-Hitter.
I only discovered the adjustment because I verify my total attendance numbers off of ESPN.com’s season attendance numbers, and after the Phillies game Friday my numbers weren’t matching. Whis surprised me since my numbers matched ESPN’s total attendance numbers when I sent you the original email of this reply at the end of August.
So, with this modification, and the recent games of this home-stand (including the massive 24K that showed for the first Pirates game) the season total attendance projection have dropped over 26,000.
Given this drop, I do not believe it is possible that the Mets will break 2.6 Million for the season.
Good morning Mets fans,
Heard both Howie and Keith complimented the Mets fans who showed up at Citi last night…that was nice of them.
Was also nice to see the the 2010 era pinstripes (I am not calling them retros).
In the leadoff spot this morning, here’s a brain teaser for you…name this manager:
(He) had the respect of the clubhouse and showed he could handle a big-city managerial gig, which comes with intense scrutiny.
(He) also disregarded players’ contracts, including burying (starting infielder) last week even with (backup type) nursing a quadriceps injury and rookie (backup) in a funk.
He also deftly handled the media, drawing favorable comparisons to Joe Torre for that ability. (He) showed a keen sense of humor and didn’t mind sharing the logic behind his strategic in-game decisions regardless of how the moves turned out.
Sound like someone you’d want? Here’s who it is.
Oh man, what the hell happened? I had such high hopes for 1992 and it was a disaster. Well, a new year has arrived and there’s no way it could be worse than ’92.
I mean they’d have to do something idiotic to the uniforms and lose 100 games for it to be worse….
