Liars: I think Jerry did a smart thing hooking Maine. Â It shows the Mets are protecting the health of their players. Â Didn’t we spend the last few years accusing the Mets of risking players to chase wins? Â This was the opposite.
I don’t think Warthen made the best choice of words calling Maine a “habitual liar.” Â The point may be correct but that’s the type of phrase that makes people mad at you. Â I don’t think that will help Dan be part of Bob Melvin’s staff come next weekend. Â Also – cheer for Hojo while you still can.
Tickets: the Post suggests the Mets could be holding back the cheaper seats and pushing the pricier ones. Â Also in the Post, Vaccaro reminds you kids that this was Mets-town once.
Protests: State Senator Peralta would like the Mets to boycott the 2011 All-Star Game. Â I’m personally unclear why this is the Mets’ problem as opposed to say the Astros.
Good news: I’m having Mets Police HQ family room (with the big screen) redone.
Bad news: the contractor decided to start tomorrow. Â I get to get home tonight (after a lonnnng week) and disconnect the big screen and move it, and move furniture. Â Awesome. Â DVR is set, hoping for first pitch around 8.
Guess you’ll be spending some quality time at either the game or the sports bar this weekend!
I should be ok – I have the not as bigscreen upstairs. If they don’t accidentally cut the cable wire.
Boycott? They may be boycotting unintentionally the way they have been playing.
Looks like the post is starting to steal my material on tickets. They should be paying me for my work!
Honestly, I don’t see how anyone could actually trust this organization as a fan anymore. It’s quite obvious they are practicing some shady activities. Even if it’s not as clear as it seems to me and even if other teams are also doing the same things, I just don’t believe in the people in that place anymore from ushers to ticket sellers on up to the “big wigs” who have been lying through their teeth since at least last year. I find it hard to be a Mets fan when all the owners want to do is make money at the expense of their fans.
Hell, at least with the Yankees winning is a priority. Their profit just comes along with the winning.
