What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
One of the Mets Police readers asked me if there were seats at Citi Field that come with free food. I don’t know the answer. (I’ve attended about 2,000 fewer games at Citi than Shea).
Scott dropped me a line:
If you can get into the bride terrace group seating, they come with $25 food cards. Great seats out there.
If anyone knows of anything else, drop me a note at [email protected] Thanks!

As we get ready for three games at Yankee Stadium III, be sure to get to the park before 6:30 so that you can experience the pleasure of Scoreboard Tara.
Scoreboard Tara hosts the pre-game fluff pieces that tell you about the restaurants and whatnot. Scoreboard Tara, how should we put this, must know someone at the Yankees because there’s no obvious reason why they would have picked her. She’s not the best presenter and during the Cubs exhibitions her voice was particularly shrill

Scoreboard Tara has so far eluded my attempts to either record her voice or remember her last name (my network of spies think it is something like Cannistrano – Google turns up nothing), so if you are attending this weekend’s games and can be of assistance, please be ready to record her about 45 minutes before the game.
You may come away asking yourself, “How did she get a job hosting something for the New York Yankees?” Before you get too uspet, just put on the radio and listen to The Voice of The Yankees. It’s clear nobody pays much attention to this stuff.

Last night on SNY they showed a closeup of the 41 on the fence. It has the horrible black drop-shading.
Did the numbers at Shea have that? I know they didn’t originally (obviously).
I also enjoyed when SNY showed a Bob Murphy voiced clip of Rusty Staub shuttling between LF and RF – come on guys, you have the tapes – how about making my How I Met The Mets series?
At worst I’d like to see the old rain delay films, especially during a rain delay. I’d rather see that than Chris Carlin telling me about the game I was just watching, or drinking beer in Times Square or whatever that filler show they have is called. Just show old films.

Mets Blog says that the Mets have asked Boomer & Carton to suggest songs to replace Sweet Caroline. I’m not sure I want Carton making the decision, but it once again shows that the Mets are paying attention (like with the uniform survey). Is there a new person in the offices, or has the internet made it easier for you and I to be heard without waiting on hold for three hours only to have Mike Francesca hang up on us when we complain about the 8th inning song.
Read Matt’s article over there…..he seems annoyed by the topic, but it’s right up my alley. Debate away as to what song you’d like. I’m still pushing for Curly Shuffle. Some of the suggestions are horrible. (Mama Said Knock You Out? This Land Is Your Land?)
Matt also mentions there will be a poll on mets.com
Another good job outta the Mets paying attention to the fanbase.
