		<description>Honestly, who are you to say how much they should spend and how much they should charge for things?

Sure, it sucks that the world, and baseball, is more expensive. It&#039;s still cheaper than other sports.  It&#039;s still affordable to go to games.  So you can&#039;t buy a run down pair of seats that would probably collect clutter anyway, big deal.  It&#039;s a business, and that&#039;s a necessity that we have to deal with. 

The security at Shea has always sucked, I agree with that.  Don&#039;t know what there is to really do about it, but ignore them as much as possible, which is what I&#039;ve taken to doing.  I couldn&#039;t care less how they&#039;re dressed.

I guess it would&#039;ve been nice if they&#039;d let us walk on the field after the game.  However, it probably would&#039;ve been a security nightmare.  Maybe not, maybe so.  It&#039;s just not a big deal to me, it&#039;s not like they owed us that.  It&#039;s not like we&#039;d ever (except for some of us, via little league and the ron keith gary people..which you could&#039;ve done if it was important to you) be on the field normally.  Fans&#039; place is in the stands, and the players on the field.  

Collapsing sucked.  I know.  It pisses me off too, and Omar has already made the bad move of resigning Manuel, however I think he&#039;ll make some good moves in the off season (and not necessarily the ones the &#039;fans&#039; demand he makes because they think they know better) and this will be a good team again in &#039;09.  And I can&#039;t wait to see a game at The Citi, because so far it looks great and promises to be a fun time.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;116879&#039;,&#039;Ceetar&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;116879&#039;,&#039;Ceetar&#039;,&#039;Honestly, who are you to say how much they should spend and how much they should charge for things?\r\n\r\nSure, it sucks that the world, and baseball, is more expensive.

		<description>Ok.

That&#039;s more like it. You sound angry - just like you said I sounded, and you were right.

It&#039;s time to be angry with the Wilpons. More important - it&#039;s time to hit them in the wallet. We can argue all day long about whether omar is good (i say no) or whether manuel&#039;s gangsta rap is offensive (i say yes)...it&#039;s all fun.

However, the underlying problem is that this franchise continues to be atrocious, albeit in new ways - ie, the COLLAPSES are a different form of humilation than sucking all year long and losing 95 games. Pick your poison.

In any event -- I hope you keep up this tone with the Wilpons and encourage other Met bloggers to join. There seems to be a Met fan base that is too loyal, if you ask me. Fans Who Love Too Much - on the next Oprah. After the Stems puked horribly in 2007, 4 million of us (yeah, i went to two awful ninth inning failures....) showed up.

No more - I say boycott until fred and jeff throw in the towel. otherwise, take the experience of 1987 - 2008 and run it in an endless loop for the next 40 years. Lots of suck interrupted by occassional bouts of near competence.

Your choice. I know I won&#039;t be at $itiField for a LONG time. After the &#039;94 strike, I didn&#039;t attend a game for 5 years. Can do that again.

<p>That&#8217;s more like it. You sound angry &#8211; just like you said I sounded, and you were right.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to be angry with the Wilpons. More important &#8211; it&#8217;s time to hit them in the wallet. We can argue all day long about whether omar is good (i say no) or whether manuel&#8217;s gangsta rap is offensive (i say yes)&#8230;it&#8217;s all fun.</p>
<p>However, the underlying problem is that this franchise continues to be atrocious, albeit in new ways &#8211; ie, the COLLAPSES are a different form of humilation than sucking all year long and losing 95 games. Pick your poison.</p>
<p>In any event &#8212; I hope you keep up this tone with the Wilpons and encourage other Met bloggers to join. There seems to be a Met fan base that is too loyal, if you ask me.
