isn't this old, old news? it was one of the sidelinks on the youtube page when he ripped suzyn waldman's clemens thing.
I can't argue with a lot of what he means by the general traveling carnival mentality the mets have - it's the direction the team has taken with marketing pretty much since the mid-90s.
but all the stuff this guy mentions - meet the mets, the HR apple, mr. met - predate dave howard or whoever coming up with the brilliant idea to distinguish the mets from the yankees by making a game at shea a minor league experience at major league prices. I like all three of those things, even though I dread whatever "reimagined" apple they're going to come up with in citifield.
getting rid of the ****ing pepsi party patrol (never gonna happen) and selling quality concessions (if they can do it in philly they can do it in NY) would go a long way towards making the mets experience less of a joke without taking away too much fun (I mean really, how much fun does the pepsi party patrol add to any given game at shea?). |
