WINTER IS OFFICIALLY OVER………..
By Steve Keane at 3 March, 2010, 1:41 pm
Because I just bought ticks for Opening Day, Mets-Marlins April 5th at $iti Field.
Now as ecstatic as I am to have gotten tickets via the Mets.com early ticket sale offer, I’m surprised how fast I got the tix.
The pre-sale tickets started at 10AM but I had to go out and do my off day errands [...]
HOW ABOUT A RAT-A-TAT-TAT RACE ?
By Steve Keane at 13 February, 2010, 1:42 pm
Over at Metsblog, Matthew Cerone asks the question Should the Mets add a character race like the Brewers Sausage race or the National President Race? Now to me, all these racing games at the ball park reek of the bush leagues but if the Mets were to have one at $iti Field why not use [...]

13 days until pitchers and catchers
Last night’s hour long PRO BASEBALL CENTRAL show, went by in a flash thanks our own Yankee-Doodle, Michael calling in and Matt Silverman coming on to talk about the ’69 Mets. Some of the topics I wanted to get to in the opening of the show got pushed back [...]
WHO KNEW? METS REALLY ARE “GANGSTA’S”
By Steve Keane at 3 January, 2010, 2:52 pm
Are the Mets married to the mob? A story in today’s NY Post links a bunch of companies that were hired by the Skill Sets to work on $iti Field that have unsavory connections. He can try all he wants, but Jeffey Wilpon will never be a “made man”.
Speaking of my buddy Jeffey, it looks [...]
THE LAST DAYS OF GIANTS STADIUM (YAWN) AND THE LAST DAYS OF OMAR MINAYA (ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH)
By Steve Keane at 27 December, 2009, 1:07 pm
As I get ready to watch the New York Football Giants play the Carolina Panthers, in what could be the last game at GIANTS Stadium, I got to thinking how I have no emotional attachment to that Stadium like I had with Shea Stadium, when the last summer of Shea was a six month wake.
Now [...]
PACK YOUR ASBESTOS UNDERWEAR KIDS, LOOKS LIKE WE’RE TAKING A TRIP TO HELL
By Steve Keane at 19 October, 2009, 9:55 am
It’s been ten years since we as Mets fans have had to go through what looks to be the inevitable, two teams we despise look to be headed to the World Series. Not since 1999 when the Highlanders met the Braves, after they beat the Mets 4 games to 2 in the NLCS
(do we have [...]
ENJOY IT, SUMMER DOESN’T LAST FOREVER
By Steve Keane at 18 August, 2009, 10:03 am
I must admit, I didn’t watch much of the Mets-Giants game last night and from the looks of things I didn’t miss much. One thing I did notice and I kind of noticed this on Saturday, $iti Field is not exactly packed and jammed.
Remember back when the plans for $iti came out and it was [...]
JEFFEY SKILL SETS PUTS ON HIS BIG BOY PANTS
By Steve Keane at 29 July, 2009, 12:11 pm
Kids, I was thisclose to getting a word with Jeffey Skill Sets yesterday, thisclose.
I left my office on W.Broadway at 4PM to go to the game last night. I grabbed an uptown 2 train to Times Square and jumped on the 7 which just happened to be an express and I arrived at $iti Field [...]
METS FANS ARE A BUNCH OF CRAB APPLES
By Steve Keane at 12 July, 2009, 6:48 pm
Back from a day at $iti Field and a Mets 9-7 victory that was nearly blown by the bullpen (Sean Green in particular) and a 5th inning melt down by Big Pelf, who was cruising after 4 innings inducing ground ball out after ground ball out but in the 5th he unraveled, then got back on [...]
Read More >>TIME TO BRING IN SOME SUSPECTS FOR QUESTIONING
By Steve Keane at 5 June, 2009, 9:03 am
Where do we begin to make sense of the latest calamities to befall our team? Let’s start with Jose Reyes.
I’m trying to make sense of how and when Reyes suffered this tear in his hamstring. After not hustling, J-Man sat Reyes the next day and we all rejoiced that Manuel was showing Jose who was [...]
