HA! Agreed.
Love those Stengel quotes. Probably as many of those as there are for Yogi.

Was bored on the train this morning and was thinking of ideas for posts. Here’s the list:
- A daily summary of mets beat writers. The articles are available by 4 am and we could post the summary before 9 am.
- I think we need a FATSO watch. The guy bashes the Mets on the radio and TV show. Would be great to respond to his nonsense.
- Midday Blog Roll – most blogs post articles in the morning, and we could summarize and spread the Mets love to other Mets blogs.
- DL Watch – Who isn’t on the DL? How’s the rehab going, etc.
Thoughts?

Case,
One suggestion. The bar out in rightish-center field has lots of good Belgian beer. Hoegaarden is a personal fav. Can we add some of the beer porn?

so, you know what really grinds my gears? The last couple Mets games I went to, one of the Phillies games and one Braves game on the last homestand, the promenade club was open to anyone..and I thought this was awesome, it was a great place to hang out, a bar, tv’s, and all the food available in one place (the non specialty food that is)
so my friend who splits the tix w/ me and I go to enter last night, and they changed the rule back..who does that? tease for one homestand then change the rules back?
ugh…that annoyed the crap outta me
CaseStreet
5/27/2009-11:31am at 11:31 am (UTC -4)
yeah, I was gonna walk in yesterday but saw security at the door so I figured they changed it back. Too bad. I wonder why they changed it back.
mrose
5/27/2009-11:34am at 11:34 am (UTC -4)
2 guesses
a) they figured they could get more money out of people since supposedly you can pay for a pass now
b) the original people who had access complained..and i can’t totally blame them for that, but they alraedy get better seats
where are your seats case? I’m in section 519

I miss my Loge Reserved seats. I had some sweet ones. I was Section 29 of the Loge Reserved, but Row 1. I was able to get in and out of my seat easily and not have to move out of anyone’s way because there was no bar in front of my seats. Plenty of leg room too. Every now and then, I’d trip the ushers and vendors.

Same here. No big deal. Just really, really irks me b/c it’s so damn childish.
Those that were making his blog ‘out of control’ or so he claimed, were not the same that were banned. Those that were banned dared to voice an opinion about that blog.
Can you say insecure?

I remember the gravatar from last week, but I think because of the transfer over from Dirty/Trs’ blog to this, it might have screwed it up. Or maybe its my browser. Im using IE.

I had that same problem over on the other blog and after I cleared my cache and cookies I could then see it.

All I have been doing is the traditional way to do a smiley and it comes up as a graphic. I don’t recall doing anything, but I would imagine it would be in the Admin, personal profile stuff. Sorry I can’t be of greater assistance
That wasn’t an attempt to make you jealous.
Nor was that.

Not surprised he sees it as such.
