What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Recently I was strolling past Wrigley Field (really, as “Clark Kent”) and whipped out the old cameraphone…
That’s the look through the main gate…I wonder what they are up to with all these ladders?
See those fanbricks? Tomorrow we’ll take a closer look at those, for an easy way the Mets could honor their history…

As I have mentioned before, I have a 15 games Phillies pack because I’m a capitalist. I am therefore on their mailing list, and I just got an email with a title something like “discount for ticket holders.” I opened it up to mick it, because that’s what I would do if the Mets sent out something similar, but I was surprised at the offer:
As a Phillies season ticket holder, we are pleased to offer you an exclusive 20% discount for an exciting new publication, Phillies: An Extraordinary Tradition. We are currently accepting pre-orders for this book which will be released in May of 2010.
A brief description of the book is below:
Phillies: An Extraordinary Tradition is a celebration of over 125 years of Phillies baseball. This commemorative book provides a window through time, showcasing the Phillies’ historic faces and places that comprise their legacy, including the team’s origin and its founding father; Philadelphia’s historic ballparks, from the classic Baker Bowl to the incomparable Citizens Bank Park; induction speeches of Phillies Hall of Famers; and the recent triumphs that established the Phillies as a perennial World Series contender. More than 400 photos and rare pieces of Phillies memorabilia, such as Harry Kalas’s scorebook, the scouting report on Jimmy Rollins, and Greg Luzinski’s first contract, provide a fascinating look inside the Phillies clubhouse.
Zell’s Pinstripe Blog has a really cool photo gallery about fries-obstructed views at New Yankee Stadium.
Wait, I’m now being told that it’s not fries-obstructed views, it’s a gallery of various foods you can eat at the new place.
Glad to see I’m not the only site with winter filler…but I actually really enjoyed the gallery. See here.

Today’s average Mets fan is John.
When did you first become a fan?
1. I guess it was around 1983 or so as a ten year old. The first memory I have is them being in last place but Kelvin Chapman hitting a grand slam to left and going crazy.
Favorite Mets memory?
2. This one is easy. I was at game 6 of the World Series in 86 in the upper deck down the right field line. I remember in the 10th my brother and his friends making fun of people that were leaving with two outs.
Worst memory?
3. This would probably be finding out that Dwight Gooden was a drug addict. He was my hero as a kid and just seemed flawless. I wanted to pitch just like him. Then to find out all that stuff and to watch his decline just killed it all for me.
One off-field thing you would change?
4. I would change where they play so I could get to see them more. It’s like $14 just in tolls and over an hour just to get to a game.
If you owned the team?
5.If I owned them now the first thing I would change is the ticket prices for next year. The team is one of the top valued organizations every year and turn in a stinker like last year and still charge what they do? I would take a hit for a year to show people they deserve more for their buck and we know it.
