What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The announced attendance tonight was 37,295
That would be 82.9% capacity.
Does this look like over 80% full to you?
And this is supposedly one of the top rivalries in baseball right now.
Has the luster worn off New Shea already?
Are people sick of the 
lack of Mets history and obstructed view seats?
I wonder how the crowd at New Yankee Stadium was tonight. Their official attendance was 43,769.

The other day I had some questions about Yankee Stadium “pre-paid” parking. The fine folks over at New Stadium Insider have educated me about this site. Who knew?
There’s nothing exiting to share with you, except maybe paying in advance will help get you into the new lot.

Fun night.
I enjoyed the "evil roll call" of Jason Werth-less.
Noise has really crept in. Can we go one pitch without playing loud
music? I preferred the silence when the Phillies were up.
The Mexican food is very good. Will cover that over the weekend.
Stadium was 40 percent empty. Pics soon.
Wasn't Pettitte pitching in the Bronx? Scoreboard said "56" all night.
No Sweet Caroline. Now I miss it. Booing it was a good tradition.
I dig whatever K-Rod's song is. I hate Castro's
Mets win. Phillies girl on the train is cute though.

The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today. The Dodgers informed triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul this morning that he was being promoted to Los Angeles.
“Those fans are impatient. I feel for Joe. The kid is a good manager. He’s going to be a better manager.”
Those are the words of Joe Torre, speaking about Joe Girardi.
Torre points out the problem with Girardi. He isn’t old enough.
Have you ever been promoted over your former peers? They never quite respect you, or see you as leader. As time goes on and younger staff come in, they accept you as boss. That guy you used to share a cubicle with? He never does.
Joe Torre was “dad” as one Yankee fan I know puts it. You don’t want to let him down. That part time catcher that you used to play with? Whatever, dude.
Here’s an anecdote from Wikipedia:
After Berra’s Yankee playing career ended with the 1963 World Series, he was hired as the manager of the New York Yankees. Much was made of an incident on board the team bus in August. Following a loss, infielder Phil Linz was playing his harmonica, and Berra ordered him to stop. Seated on the other end of the bus, Linz couldn’t hear what Berra had said, and Mickey Mantle impishly informed Linz, “He said to play it louder.” When Linz did so, an angry Berra slapped the harmonica out of his hands. All was apparently forgotten when Berra’s Yankees rode a September surge to return to the World Series. But the team lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games, after which Berra was fired. It was later learned that general manager Ralph Houk had been ready to discharge Berra since midseason, apparently for a perceived loss of control over the team.
By the way, Berra’s team finished first and went to the World Series.
This kid is going to be a good manager. It just isn’t going to happen in the Bronx. I’m starting the Girardi Watch, and if I’m Bobby Valentine, I drop a hint in the Japanese press that I’m interested. (Which is an uncool thing to do, but I’m not Bobby Valentine who does such things.)
