Have you ever daydreamed during a cold winter day while at work about your plans for the summer? Say take a trip to Europe or pack up the family and head to Disney World? Well, yesterday Freddy Skill Sets gave you on place you may want to cross off next summer’s destination, Citi Field.
Freddy Skill Sets has turned into a real recluse without the unkempt look . Yesterday up at Storrs CT where he was announcing that UCONN will now be the home of Huskies basketball and football (which means for the first time since it’s inception I’ll watch SNY in the winter) and when reporters questions him about his floundering baseball team, Freddy turned into a real Mr. Cranky Pants. He lets the world know that Omar is safe and that his son Jeffey is doing a great job running the organization. Something tells me Ol’ Freddy was of his medication yesterday. But I have to thank him because now I can think about that trip I’ve wanted to make to California to go from San Francisco to LA next summer since there won’t be any reason to go to Citi Field next year.
The Cape Cod League playoffs start today and I’ll be at Yarmouth-Dennis (Y-D) for their game against the Harwich Mariners. It’s best to get down to the field early and plant your chair in a good spot as the game tonight could draw a good 3,000 to 5,000 fans.
If MLB doesn’t do something to straighten out their umpires one of them is going to get the living shit beat out of them by a player, coach, manager or a fan running on the field. No joke here, I’m fucking serious.
Ramdom thoughts from the Rubber Room: Steve (ugh) Phillips says that the Wilnots don’t care if they have a good product on the field. Omar says that he has a secret extension on his contract until 2012. I can only hope that the Real Estate market in NYC crashes to get rid of these posers. Oh, and a belated Congrats to A-Fraud for injecting himself into the Records Book.
Fred Wilpon is a real estate agent and that is all he ever was…………
On Sunday I wrote here that Omar will be back. I also wrote that I hoped I was wrong. I’ve never been so sorry to be right in my life.
Little by little my Met-fan friends are saying they can’t take it anymore. They are turning to other forms of entertainment. I will never get to that point, but i can see how others can get there.
But the question is, do Jeff and Fred realize how fast they’re losing fans?
Nah, probably not.
