The New York Mets have done so horrific for the past few seasons that they have ongoing troubles filling up the new stadium…
Not only that, but they even have trouble of late filling up the PLAYER parking lot!
The Mets Can’t Even Fill The Player Parking Lot!
Greatest Mets Game Ever
Yesterday we attended the last game of the Mets’ 2010 pitiful season, and it was quite possibly the best baseball game that we’ve ever been to. They went a horrific 14 innings in a 1-1 tie, and we got to take part in a rare 14th inning stretch — which is a far more energetic and jovial stretch than a 7th inning stretch.
Plus, after months of anticipation, the small crowd that remained of the small crowd in attendance finally got to have their (hopefully) final booing of Ollie Perez and Jerry Manuel.
Now we can only hope that the Mets organization will have the brainpower to keep the great pitcher and fan favorite, R.A. Dickey until he decides to retire.
The Mets Are So Bad That…
It’s not easy being a fan of the Mets for various reasons: front running fans of the Yankees try to dominate the city’s baseball talk, ownership and management seems to have had their heads up their rear ends for much of the past two decades, the new billion dollar stadium isn’t fan friendly, and several of the players don’t seem to play with any heart or love of the game.
All of these combining factors lead to a Saturday night game that has the stands looking like this…
Mainly empty! Now, we actually prefer the lighter crowds due to Citi Field being so poorly designed (or implemented) that when a large crowd is drawn to the stadium it becomes one giant bottleneck and seating is terribly uncomfortable, but the Mets are so bad that it has come to this…
A dude had to watch the game with a bag over his head. Mets, please get things together, finally!
Curse Of The Mets Underwear
We have a pair of Mets underwear that are serious trouble for the Mets, particularly for Mets Pitcher Mike Pelfrey. Whenever we wear them to a game, they lose and Pelf looks as though he is man without a home, scared and unsure of how he ended up at the center of a large stadium of people watching him fail miserably.
Three games that come to our mind off the top of our head are: Citi Field’s Opening Day 2009, his balk-game in San Francisco last year and his last start before the All-Star Game this year — there are others, but these three stand out the most. The Mets bad string of luck when we wear these underwear is so bad that whenever we put them on, we feel as though it’s as if we’re dooming Pelf and that the Mets are guaranteed to lose — we don’t remember them winning once when we’ve worn them.
The only humorous, silver lining to the situation is this…
Whenever we’re done with the underwear for the day post-loss, they leave an imprint of the Mets logo that lines the top of the elastic and it mocks us not only for our loss, but also for our gain in the waist area.
Which New York Met Is Lacking In His Junk & Ethics?
As we entered Citi Field yesterday evening we noticed that someone in the Mets’ player’s parking lot had a Lamborghini.
While we wondered which player owned the high end car we realized that it was parked in the handicapped parking spot — right above the “V” in the horrific watermark.
We aren’t saying that handicapped people aren’t allowed or shouldn’t be driving a Lambo, but considering how Lambo’s are extremely low to the ground vehicles to the point where it takes considerable effort to get in and out of it and the fact that this vehicle is parked in the player’s parking lot, it just doesn’t make sense that a truly handicapped individual who requires handicapped parking placards would take a Lambo to Citi Field so that they could play a professional baseball game.
This begs the following questions: Which member of the Mets’ staff is pretending to be handicapped? Which one is playing in the big leagues despite being handicapped? Which one doesn’t have enough common decency to not park their vehicle in the handicapped spot? Which one is overcompensating?
The way the math works, it logically suggests that only two of the above questions can be answered “nobody.”
