I suppose Mets fans are a little tired of hearing about how fat Oliver Perez is or the fact that they have no one really to play second base, that they now have to concentrate their collective effort on getting the sorry Mets’ home opener – in that new and already bankrupt stadium – changed from a night game to a day game.
Mets Police…
I know the official reason is that the Padres don’t want to fly cross-country to play a day game. Why do the Padres have to play the Mets the second week of the season? I never remember the schedule being like that.
Why couldn’t Bud Selig use his powers of baseball to make the Padres play a day game? Why couldn’t the Mets play Tuesday and risk the rain out? It’s not like they won’t make us sit there for hours anyway (see Yankees, Opening Day 2008?)
It’s a new stadium, a new beginning and it’s already annoying. If you’re interested enough to read my dopey blog then I’m sure you had been to Shea in April for a night game. It’s miserable. Even if it’s 81 degrees at noon, it will be in the 40s at 8:30.
The Mets are selling “Opening Day” packages. Sunset for Monday April 13, 2009 is scheduled for 7:32pm. Unless the Mets have a deal with God worked out, or they plan to get the game in in under 22 minutes, I think they lie.
Maybe if enough people bitch we can pressure Selig into stepping in.
Ha! Read that bullshit again. It is amazin’ to see how moronic these fans can be. Have a look at the collective bargaining agreement, buddy. The Padres are not interested in a day game after traveling because they simply don’t have to consider it.
Bud Selig wouldn’t go anywhere near this – and yet wasted effort goes on and on…
Hell, I hope they do get a day game (even though it’s impossible) – because nothing makes me have a more peaceful evening than knowing the Mets lost a day game – and the home opener…in a new ballpark…
Please, lord, pretty please.
