Back to above 500 and a w for Johan

I really really really want to see a Mets streak where Wright,Ike,and duda are hitting well at the same time

Johan clearly wasn't at his best today. Still only gave up 3 runs though. Finally got his first W too.

65% was a joke, i'd say no more than 40% if generous. some sections were decently filled but some like 90% empty

citi has truly killed any real fanbase still there. the ballpark is so cookie cutter, the little 'mets flourishes' here and there can be changed with any random team's s pictures and history and it'd still fit perfectly. advertising everywhere, so many empty seats people working for some photo company were coming up with cameras harassing people to take their picture so you can buy it off their website later.

nothing mets about it, nothing baseball about it, just an experience to squeeze every last buck out of every customer. i really did come into it with an open mind wanting to enjoy a nice baseball game but aside from that (well, they blew it) the 'experience' left a bad taste. my baseball fandom died in 08

Exactly what I said when I went to my first game there back in 09. It felt like I could be at a ballpark for any other team. It just goes to show you not only how out of touch the Wilpons are with the fan base but how out of touch they are with the NYC Baseball community in general. In NY the game and history sells itself. The Wilpons mostly Jeff because outside of the Rotunda, it's mostly Jeff's stadium, lost sight of that. Instead they built a stadium that would fit in the mid west or in Cali, not NYC. The new Yankee stadium while it also squeezes every dollar out of the customer, you know where you are. You know you're at Yankee stadium and you know the selling point is the game. The Yankees realized the game is the selling point, the history is the selling point, Baseball in New York City is the selling point. The Wilpons lost sight of that. As nice as Citi is I much rather watch a game in piss smelling Shea any day of the week.

good win for the mets today after that horrible astros series

love how this teams bounces right back after a bad series

and the need to hit some homers , especially now that they are going to philly

 

[Tommy Fits]

Miguel Batista is our 5th starter now

 

[DirtyD]

Tejada has a right quad strain and so it begins.

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

Mota knocked for drugs again 100 games

 

[DirtyD]

If the Mets don't re-sign Wright I'm going to Flushing and punching Wilpon in his fukking throat.

 

[lepard]

Valdespin nikkaz!!!! DR stand up!!!

 

[DirtyD]

Valdespin is with his first big league hit slash homerun.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Thank God the Rangers won or I would have been pissed I missed Valdespin sonning the Phils with his first hit and homerun off Papelbon

 

[Tommy Fits]

We gotta get Spidey and Conz here

 

[DirtyD]

Batista is fukking trash nikka even walks pitchers and can't even properly throw to second fukking base.
