Hank: We Will Next Year

“We’re going to win it next year. If we need to add a top veteran pitcher, we’ll do that. We’ll do whatever we need to do. Next year we’ll be extremely dangerous.”

Those are the words of Hank Steinbrenner. He also said they weren’t giving up on this year, but that sounds like a man who has moved on.

Mets Ticket Prices Announced

Behind the plate – $495

Good Field Level – $225, $175 and $150 (by row)

Field Level Beyond Bases – $125 to $225

Promenade (fancy name for Upper Deck) – “averages $19”

They will continue doing the gold, silver, tin nonsense.

And here is the quote from Mets VP Dave Howard that I will use over and over and over for the next 40 years.

We were trying to produce revenue that would support our expenses and our debt service but also balance that against the realities that tickets were going to be going up for our customers. We were going to deliver qualitatively a far, far higher product for them.”

Ok, you’ve jacked the prices and you’ve made a promise.   Mets Police will be on the case.

Official Yankee Panic: "Yankees Are Finished"

The big Yankee fan in the office, the one who never says die, the one who correctly said Torre would get them back to the playoffs in 2007 when the math suggested otherwise, says:
 
“The Yankees Are Finished.”
 
It was a good run.
 
They have a better record than the Mets by the way.

I Just Spoiled Myself

Wow I taped the game and started watching it at like six.

I get to the Top 9 and decide to start updating the blog.  I was going to go with “This Pedro Guy Is Good” and make fun of myself.    So I open up my usual news page and WTF????  They blew a game to the Pirates?!

Awful.   I hope Omar is checking the waiver wire every five seconds.   Everyone still hate Wagner the way you hated Delgado?
