The Mets Police

Howie Rose mentioned the Mets will be doing fan friendly gestures all
month. He said Jerry was greeting fans at the gate, free hot dogs on
Wednesday and "seat upgrades."

While I applaud fan friendly efforts I find my reaction tonight is
that it is making mad.

It seems phony. They should do this stuff all the time, not just when
they sense a half empty stadium in 2010.

Howie who can sometimes imagine fannies in empty seats said this was
the smallest crowd at Citi yet.

Wait until Thursdays "Saturday" game up against the NFL. I can't even
give my tix sway.

 Hey Shannon,

Thanks


It’s just a quirk to get us to tune into a meaningless game in September.  Ditto going Cohen-less tomorrow.  Maybe we’ll tune in to see how uncensored Hernandez is with just Darling to reign him in.  


 Interesting…I just purchased a pair of tickets from Stubhub. They are for the first row out in left field (left field reserve I think they’re called).

So it seems that the Mets are, in fact, dumping their tickets on Stubhub in an attempt to recoup something for them.


I don’t know that to be a fact – very interesting if true.   Has anyone else had this experience?


Finally – I’ve been running my mouth about the survey that David Howard mentioned…someone has finally written to say they were part of it:


I received a survey a couple of months back about the Citi Field experience. Pretty much the same survey. Spoke about food, seats, experience etc..

So there ya have it!  Only took a month.

Cool, Metsblog zings the noise pollution at Citi Field:  Read: Q and A with Keith Hernandez

My daily email from mets.com included an ad for this lamp…I like it.  That same ad also mentions that the mets will be wearing the red stars & stripes hats on 9/11.

Stuff I’m too busy with to flesh out:

Metsblog has good spin on this Read: The Gammons Plan for the Mets

Gammons’ piece is here.

Also – tonight the SNY announcers will be silent during the 6th inning, and no Gary Cohen tomorrow (just keith and Ron)

Meanwhile on Stubhub, tix for tomorrow were going as low as 99 cents (last checked 9am).   Plenty of seats under 5 bucks available.
