The Will To Rock Flushing

Welcome to the Mets pitching staff.  Now that Chipper Jones has hit a home run off of you, you can officially be initiated into the club. 

Congratulations.

Wow, I have totally neglected this blog all season.  I’ve been in kind of a Mets depression since opening day night.  Why so sad?  Well, I came to realize that was going to be just one of very few games I’ll be attending this year.  I don’t want to be a whiner complaining about obstructed views and ticket prices and whatever else Mets fans are complaining about this week.  But the fact is, I just can’t afford to spend $30 on a ticket every time I want to go to a game.  Jeff can go on and on all he wants about $11 seats.  A few weeks ago I couldn’t even find a ticket less than $70 in April or May.  Thanks only to StubHub I was able to get tickets to the game on Mother’s Day, a tradition I’ve had with my mom and sister for the last few years.  Normally I don’t mind spending a little more on tickets for this game.  But spending $70 for seats that were once bleacher seats in Shea isn’t going to happen.  Granted, I would have a back to my seat and a nice view of Beltran (ahem)… it’s probably only worth it on opening night. 

So this, on top of everything else going on… (Did this really happen???) I haven’t been a huge fan of the Mets organization lately.  It has me in some kind of rut that I’m ready to get over and just start enjoying some baseball games.
