What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.

“I wrote him a $35,000 check and he gave me cash for it and I bought a car for my mom and dad. And that’s what it was all about. That’s the whole thing,” Francoeur said. “My parents help pay our bills and stuff while we’re away during the season. I didn’t want them to see what I paid for the car.
“Then I gave him $15,000 when I left, which was for him, the cooks, the massage therapists – a tip at the end of the year.”
This dude is loud and right on the crowd mike.

Hey Shannon,
Enjoy reading your site. I figured you would be the guy to reach out to on this one… What’s the deal with that dog that sits outside of Citi Field with the pipe in its mouth? The dog is really nice, and when I first saw it outside of the stadium, I thought it was a great idea by the owner. But, I’ve gone to 3 games this year, and each time, there has been a different man with the dog. Now, he has a sign saying something like “The only people I don’t like are cheap people,” but it’s clear the money isn’t going to the Humane Society or any type of charity. Do you know what the deal is? Any background on this? Love Mets, love dogs, but I’m not giving money to some people who force their dog to outside for hours. Just curious.
Have a great day… Let’s Sweep the Dodgers!

I often see this dog too, and i love dogs…I have no idea. I have pics somewhere..I bet you guys do too. Anyone know the story?
…
Update May 12th: I see people getting passionate about this one..I see the Facebook page…I see the comments….I’m going to dive in on this when I can. I’m a big dog lover.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
So I see all the arguments where people are worried for the dog. I’d like to know more. What I fear is this becomes a “thing” and the dog winds up in a cage (or worse) at the ASPCA. When I see the dog he seems content.
Is there anyone who knows more about the dog owner’s side?
