Mailbag: Should the Mets Play "Meet The Mets" Instead of Sweet Caroline?

Melh07302 has left a new comment on your post “Paint The Wall Blue Already (Newsday)“:

I heard Dave Howard say in his interview with WFAN that the blue was a color that would fade faster over time. So they chose to use balck. Who cares..?? Do it over when it does fade. The blue outfield walls at Shea seemed to last ok the past 22 years I went there.

As far as “Seet Caroline” goes… GET RID OF THAT GARBAGE PLEASE!!!! I booed it as loud as I could when I went to a game last friday and I wasn’t the only one. That song sucks. What happened to “I’m a Believer“. At least let the fans choose like they did last year when they voted for the Monkees Song. “Meet the Mets” would be perfect. Damn, I wish I owned the Mets, I promise everyone on here would not be complaining. If we can’t win, at least give us a better song in the damn 8th inning for heaven sake and have more royal blue in the ballpark. 


That’s two suggestions now for Meet the Mets.  What does everyone think?

Selig: Wilpons Are Sensitive (Washington Post)

Well maybe I changed the headline the Washington Post used but I didn’t make up the quote.

“And I know the Wilpons. They’re very sensitive about all this.” 


What’s the “this?”  Bud Selig says the Yankees and Mets are considering adjusting the price of the premium seats.


In the article the teams spokespeople deny they are considering it.

Mets get Swept Wearing Ugly Black Uniforms. Now 6 and 9.

Dear Mr. Mazzilli and Mr. Backman.   You may want to update your resumes.   Don’t send them just yet, and no need for Mr. Carter to apply.   The Mets can’t have a bad team when they are already only drawing 36,000 in a new park.   Sorry Jerry, even though it’s Omar that didn’t get you pitching.  I love you but the Yankees are off today and the sweep stunk, the sports talk sharks will be out.

The Mets went oh for three in St. Louis while wearing hideous black uniforms (that said Mets not NEW YORK).   Kind of like your softball team might wear.

While I’m on the uniform rag again – put the NY back in the Mets logo.  Why did they take that out?  Do they think more people come from NJ now that the mets aren’t all associated with New York?   (Hmmm, that would explain the jerseys.)  Maybe the really are moving to Mercury in 2023?

Traditionally the Mets have only won the World Series while wearing pinstripes.  Just sayin’

Some Fans Feel Mets New Home Ignores The Old Mets (Times)

Ken Belson, a cool guy that gets it writes in the Times..

Sports / Baseball
By KEN BELSON
Published: April 24, 2009
A vocal minority of fans have complained that the new Citi Field does not do enough to honor the Mets’ history.

Where have you gone, Tug McGraw? Apparently, to the windswept left-field entrance of Citi Field. 

The Mets have taken a lot heat from fans angry about the ticket prices and the obstructed views at Citi Field. A vocal minority of fans have also complained that the new $800 million ballpark does not do enough to honor the team’s history.

..

Where, other fans complain, are the banners that used to hang inside Shea that could be seen from the escalators? (They were sold at auction.) What happened to the 1969 photo montage that adorned the outside of the right-field stands? (Gone like the stadium.) Where is the bronze statue of Mike Piazza hitting his famous home run in September 2001? (Not on the drawing board yet.)

That’s you guys Mets Police fans!  Check out the whole piece.

Yankee Stadium Honeymoon Over (Newsday)

As I’ve been saying……now said by Wallace Matthews in Newsday.

..it makes you wonder if, when the Yankees moved across the street, they left more than just an old ballpark behind.

The old Stadium was a vibrant, rowdy, sometimes dangerous but always living place where baseball was the primary language spoken, Here, it seems sterile, corporate and frighteningly devoid of buzz. And if you can’t feel the buzz during the honeymoon, when will you feel it?

It doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season, because if you’re not feeling the mojo now, you probably never will. Sure, the place will sell out when the Red Sox or Mets are in the house, but for the first time in many years, get used to the place being half-full, or if the Yankees ever fall out of contention, a lot less than that.

You know, they probably could get Old Yankee Stadium back in shape within a month.  I don’t suppose the Yankees want to move back home after the All-Star break?   Just sayin’

Let’s ask the Yankees fans.  I know it will never happen…but would you rather they move back?
