Someone Actually Wrote Something Interesting About The Mets. Sort Of.

The only interesting thing I've heard about the Mets in the last several months is this. It's an article that's basically an opinion piece about how the Mets should move home plate forward in CitiField by 10 ft. The graphics that go along with the article are pretty cool.

The two things that it doesn't really mention that they could also accomplish by doing this would be to get some room down the foul lines and to increase the space behind home plate, which is currently the smallest in baseball and is too small.

Take That, CitiField

I went to the Mets v. Pirates last night with my buddy, Sushi Bar. (This is a bad fake name because he's Chinese and not Japanese. But since it would be funny if he were Japanese and since I can't think of a better fake name, I'll go with this one.) Anyway, Open Bar and Side Bar discovered the shirt, so they deserve a finders' fee, but I must say, the shirt went over very well. Many comments from many strangers. And apparently, yes, I am that fat now, though I did have three shirts on.



Best thing about CitiField is that I sat in "my seat" for one inning and watched the rest of the game from various points throughout the stadium. I found two or three spots that offer a really great view of the action and are not yet that crowded, including one on the Pepsi Porch, but a little out of the way. Also we walked around and found the old home run apple, which is stored out in right field behind the bullpens. Incidentally, you can see the visiting pitchers warming up and it's separated by only a fence. I say we all go to the Cubs game and yell at Aaron Heilman.
