Now I don’t know about you, but where I come from a Monday night against the Nationals is not a Saturday. In fact Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are also not Saturday.
The Mets can bundle the tickets any way they want, but the whole premise of this blog is that the Mets never ever behave with honor. Why can’t they just call the plan “Plan G” or “Plan 9 From Outer Space” or “Mostly Saturday Plan?” Why must the Mets insult us.
Moving on, another fan tipped us that the “Sunday” plan (below at the end of the article) does include some Wednesdays, but it does not include the final game of the season. That alone is making that fan consider not getting a package at all. I don’t know why she cares so much, I would hope that’s a meaningless game for once, but she does.
In case you are wondering and would like tickets to that final game, it’s part of the “Weekend” plan. The “Weekend” plan consists of 15 games, 6 of which are played on Saturday or Sunday. Way to respect the fans. Why not just have a “Mets Are At Home” package and sneak in some off dates where we can watch the game on whatever DiamondVision will be called at Taxpayer Corporate Field.
Finally, why must they insult us with a $25 service charge? To mail tickets? That costs about a dollar. We’re buying them on-line, I bet a computer does the whole process anyway.
I’d love to hear from anyone who is annoyed about this. Hit comments.

Times Polices The City About Their Yankee Box
Seems like every week I skim through the Sunday papers (yeah I wrote this yesterday, busted!) and find something else offensive about the new stadiums. Below are some excerpts – basically the city wanted to own a luxury box (why does the city need Yankee tickets?) and the Yankees got more parking spaces (instead of a private garage owning them) – and the city wanted free food in the box. Another example of the rich elite helping themselves.
So you may ask, what’s the harm here? It’s the mindset:
“We can’t find the money for the M.T.A., or schools, or hospitals, and these folks are used to the perks and good things of life, and expect them.†(Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky, Democrat of Westchester, who questions whether taxpayers were adequately protected in the city’s deal with the team.)
The Bloomberg administration was so intent on obtaining a free luxury suite for its own use at the new Yankee Stadium, newly released e-mail messages show, that the mayor’s aides pushed for a larger suite and free food, and eventually gave the Yankees 250 additional parking spaces in exchange.
The project required permission from the Internal Revenue Service because of the team’s desire to use tax-exempt bonds to finance construction. In one heated exchange, city lawyers threatened they would not make the request to the I.R.S. for the use of the tax-exempt financing unless the Yankees would consider providing the luxury suite.
Lonn Trust, the Yankees chief operating officer, wrote to the city on Jan. 26, 2006: “For clarity, no seats, no suites, no tickets, and as they say in Brooklyn ‘No nothin’.’ â€
In response, a lawyer for the city, Joseph Gunn, warned that “No nothin’ can go both ways,†adding that if the luxury suite was not included, “We do not submit the letter ruling request.â€
Generic Plaxico Burress Post
Were you shot last night? No you weren’t.
Were you in a nightclub early Saturday morning? No you weren’t.
Are you a cop? No? Then I bet you didn’t shoot yourself.
You are a cop? I bet you know how to safe your gun so you don’t shoot yourself in the leg.
When you were young and went to a nightclub did you bring a gun? No.
Did you hang out at clubs where guns were acceptable? No.
Where there is smoke there is fire. The Evil Money Grubbing Giants who charge their long-time fans $20,000 for the rights to pay for tickets did a good thing in getting rid of Shockey. The team played better without the bad seed. They should do the same with Plaxico.
Sheriff Goodell has done a great job so far trying to clean up the league. The NFL needs to focus less on end-zone celebrations and more on off-field thuggery. The league should use whatever clause it has to free the Giants of the financial burden, and the Giants should cut ties with Mr. Burress and encourage him to nightclub safely.
