Met players hate Phillies too! (with video of season ticket holders reception)

You often get the feeling that players aren’t as passionate about the same things as Joe Fan is. But it turns out, the Mets (at least some of them) hate the Phillies as much as fans do. Personally, I don’t hate the Phillies like I used to hate the Braves. My “hatred” is more jealousy …

Mets management is reaching out to its core constituency more aggressively than I can remember in the quarter century I’ve been a season ticket holder. Last week, I was among one of the first groups invited to a season ticket holder Behind the Scenes Tour, and I thought I’d give you a photographic representation of …

Why are we Mets fans?

Now that the kerfluffle over who to root for in the World Series has (hopefully) subsided and we have entered the cabin fever-inducing “who to sign/trade/trade for” hot stove kerfuffle, I’ve had a chance to ponder the vehemence over my and everyone else’s post-season rooting interests. Forgive me as I briefly wax philosophic. My rooting rumination …

Mets fans’ heads are exploding now that the Yankees and Phillies have pounded their way into the World Series. I, however, won’t have trouble deciding who to root for: The Yankees. A few weeks ago I expressed the same intention and was dubbed the anti-Christ by one charming commentor and another questioned my Met blogging …

Let's not go here again, please.

Earlier this week, I argued the Mets should essentially stand pat for 2010, let the injured heal, the young mature and everyone jell, and let’s see what happens before we dive into the trade or free agent pool. Aside from my previous arguments about being able to field an 85-win team with what we already …

You read that right. By sweeping the ‘Stros this past weekend, the Mets finished with a winning record (41-40) – at CitiField. And I was there and met lots of other Mets fans (and old Brooklyn Dodger fans), many who read TRDMB, then after the game, I walked around the bases – there were too …

welcome-to-citifield

This Sunday, I get to run around the bases at CitiField. The Mets are going to let us season ticket holders dash to first base, second, third and home (sounds like a hopeful high school date) after the final game of the season. This is either going to be a blast or I’m gonna feel …

In what can only be termed a preemptive strike, the Mets just sent this notice to season ticket holders: Dear Mets Season Ticket Holder: Thank you for your support during our inaugural season at Citi Field. Everyone at the Mets – our Ownership, General Manager Omar Minaya, Manager Jerry Manuel, the coaches, players, front office …

Carlos Gomez, former Mets CF prospect, caught the last out of the first game of the Twins-Tigers DH yesterday afternoon on MLB Network. The AL Central race is of little consequences to Mets fans, but it got me to thinking. Could a team of ex-Mets perform better than the actual Mets? I’ve put together a …

With the Jets beating the Titans (and I’m sure Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher just loved wearing “Houston” on his shirt, and didn’t those old-time N.Y. Titans uniforms look cool?), the Giants beating the Bucs, the Tiger and Phil show at the Tour Championship/FedEx Cup finale, and the Yankees winning their 100th game and clinching the …
