Hey Mark...stick around the MOFO. You could write a book rather than just an article, on the subject.

pitiful. Not you the Shea "crowds"

GET THE PIECE OF CRAP McGimpy OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

I was going to blast you to bits for this ridiculous tripe, but let me just ask you this..

If El Duque's strikeout cant get them up how can we?

If Pedro getting Pujols out cant get them up, how can we?

Even going back to last year....if Chavez' amazing catch couldnt get them up, how can we?

Are we supposed to stop Wagner for giving up runs? From Wright getting into another GDP?

How are we to stop 11 walks and six errors?

And what chant would work to get Reyes to put the ball in play properly?

Now go away. Youre about as much in touch with whats going on as a four year old is about dating.

LOL

I read you guys every day...

I was really shocked at just how apathetic last night's crowd was.

I mean, people SHOULD be pissed...I didn't get that last night.

I'm not talking about rh, rah "Book IT" Mets Rock! and all that nonsense...

Last night, the Mets fans were doing a Kevin McRenyolds...

Mark Healey

I'm not talking about "getting up"..I'm talking bout giving a crap..

They can't pitch, BOO

They can't hit, BOO

Last night's crowd was like going to a Cyclones game in June.

Mark Healey

The article isn't about cheering.

Let's see some excitement ON THE FIELD, then you'll hear some excitement in the stands.

It's been like this a lot this year though if you ask me. I know it's still in the timeframe of this month but I went on the 14th for the first game of the final series against the Phillies. The Mets had the chance to essentially end it then and the crowd wasn't energized at all.

Met fans are some of the most fickle that I've ever seen.

The boobirds were out in force in August. Many fans and media-types clucked their tongues over it. We're past that point now.

I honestly don't expect a fanbase that's had its heart ripped out over and over to show up in force when all signs point to this being the biggest disappointment of them all (which is saying something, considering this franchise's history)... but FWIW wellington mara always used to say that the loudest message fans could possibly send to management was not showing up.

Mark Healey

There are Mets fans that don't care if the Mets win, as "long as they try hard"

There are Mets fans that don't beleive in booing Mets.

There are Mets fans that actually beleive they should get btheir money's worth from a 100 million-plus team, and demand accountibiluty when things don't go well.

Put me and a lot of people I know in that last category.

Want me to cheer for a team of kids with a 20 million dollar payroll? Sure...just don't expect me to put 50 bucks a ticket for a "gold" game.

When I go to any sporting event I want my money's worth, and when I don;t get it, I let the team on the fieldHEAR about it, either way.

Mark Healey

The announced crowd was 50,000 (about), the tickets werev aleady sold, great mesage.

And how long do those advance sales keep up if the on-field product is uninspiring garbage? The Wilpons are not stupid. If the paid attendance didn't fool you, it didn't fool them either.
