  1. My all time favorite NY Met is Ho Jo (Howard Johnson) but David Wright is moving in quickly.

    David Wright

    A great home grown talent, him and Reyes!
  3. • The ballpark's baseball-specific design produces superior sightlines for the game throughout the venue. There is a more intimate atmosphere with seating angled toward the infield and set down closer to the field. Forty-two percent of the ballpark's seats will be located in the Concourse (or lowest) seating level. • The new ballpark will feature some of the widest unobstructed concourses in new sports facilities. Concession stands and restrooms will be located within the facility's exterior walls leaving the circulation areas with uninterrupted views of the field. • Wider seats provide enhanced comfort throughout the venue while more space between the rows allows for improved legroom. • The Concourse level features 360-degree, walk-around circulation around the ballpark with expansive field views and ample standing room. The Promenade level features a split-deck design providing uninterrupted views into the ballpark from the circulation and concession areas. • Fans throughout the ballpark will have access to multiple sit-down, climate-controlled restaurants, bars, clubs, and lounges, a majority of which will provide field views, and a wide range of menu choices. • Numerous permanent attractions built into the master plan add to the new ballpark's family-friendly environment, including: an expanded Fan Fest family entertainment area within the ballpark on the Concourse level, an enhanced outfield Picnic Area adjacent to the batter's eye, multiple party deck areas, and an interactive Mets museum with club memorabilia and Hall of Fame displays. • Inspired by tradition, the new ballpark will be clad in brick, limestone, granite and cast stone, with the brick closely resembling the masonry used at Ebbets Field, both in color and texture. Exposed steel will be painted dark blue and the seats will be dark green. • A structural steel "bridge" motif throughout the new ballpark reinforces the Mets' connection to New York's five boroughs while also symbolically linking the team's storied tradition to its future. Design elements call for exposed trusses, light towers, scoreboard structure, and a roof canopy that recall the ballparks of yesteryear. Field Orientation: The four-acre natural turf field will expand from home in a northeasterly direction with the leftfield line stretching northward, and the rightfield line extending eastward. Right Field Porch: In rightfield there will be a singular deck that will be situated to extend into and over fair territory by eight feet. Pitcher Friendly: Pitcher Friendly: Distinctive asymmetrical outfield walls, along with generous dimensions (LF - 335'; LC - 379'; CF - 408'; RC - 391'; RF - 330') make for a traditional pitcher's park.
  4. David Wright is my Favorite New York Met
  5. I was raised as a Mets fan thanks to my grandfather and dad and I married a Mets fan and now raising a Future Mets Fan!
  6. Na I love my Mets no matter what our record may be but I was pissed off that we once again were unable to beat the pesky Braves. I want to tomahawk those bastards to death!
  7. If anything I say trade down and pick up addition picks in the second and third rounds as the Broncos did.
  8. Our team has one of the best records in MLB so far but honestly, who have we played? The answer is no one before the Braves but I do feel that the Mets should go 6-1 or 5-2 in our next 7 games as we play the Padres and Giants out West. This should give us a great start at 16-5 or 15-6 but we need to beat those Damn Braves!
  9. Well our TRUE TEST comes over the next few days as we face the Braves at Shea, we need 2 out of 3 or a sweep to make an early season statement!
  10. We have the lineup but our starting pitchers will be our downfall, I felt like we should have held on to Seo!
  11. Love the BioHazard symbol, New York Mets, New York Giants, New York Rangers and big booty chicks.
  12. I wonder what the new salary cap will be?
  13. Labor peace was restored to the NFL when the owners agreed to the players' union proposal Wednesday, extending the collective bargaining agreement for six years. There were no further details on the agreement, including whether it includes expanded revenue sharing. The vote was 30-2, with Buffalo and Cincinnati, two low-revenue teams, voting against it. Free agency, put off twice by the protracted negotiations between the owners and players, now will start at 12:01 a.m. Friday. "It was a good compromise," said Jim Irsay, owner of low-revenue Indianapolis. "We're happy with it -- 30-2 is a good vote."
  14. I am a Mets fan but I have heard this before and then they play horrible while the Braves play four rookies and still win the division.
  15. I would have liked to see this after the regular season not before. For the first time ever I agree with George, someone will get hurt and ruin their teams chances at winning a World Series.
