What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Back in the mid-80’s an aging pitcher named Springsteen was bested by Nettles in the bottom of the 9th. Last night Mr. Springsteen showed up at Giants Stadium and was awesome. Click Bruce to hear how awesome that show was.
Since I stayed out until the wee hours I have nothing to say about the Mets. Didn’t see it. Read the paper. Hope Maine’s OK.
Go see Springsteen if you can. Thursday potentially could be the last time we see E Street in NJ.
No I will not be blogging all night but i do want to report the umbrella threat. No umbrellas allowed in Giants Stadium. As you know, umbrellas are commonly used by the terrorists.

He would make the team better.
He would make for a fun dugout with Pedro, Manny and probably Reyes clowning around.
They would sell more tickets.
All that being said, I don’t want to root for the 2004 Red Sox.
No thanks.
What do you think?
Wow. An actual pitcher pitched nine innings! Unbelievable.
This Jerry Manuel clearly either:
a) made a deal with the devil
or
b) is a much better manager than Willie the Captain of the Yankees.
Two of three. First place. Big series (again) this week. Fun!
I missed this during the week, and didn’t catch in the papers or the blogs, but great job out of Crain’s with these nuggets:
We are told that:
More than half of the 42,000 seats will be $50 or less. That sounds good until you wonder about all the $49 tickets.
Loge seats that were $82 in 2008 are now $175. My calculator broke on that one, call Mushnick.
Seats behind home plate in the “Ebbets Club” will be $200.
Ebbets Club???!!!! For the millionth time Fred, YOU DON’T OWN THE DODGERS. I hate the Dodger obsession, it drives me bananas.
There will sometimes be $12 tickets, on “select dates.” From experience, “Select dates” means Wednesday in April against Washington.
