Stick a pin in Mr. Met! I wondered about those Mets fans whose picture I posted a couple of days ago. I took the picture while the Phillies were leading the game on Saturday. That's why those guys are looking so morose. By the time the Mets went ahead, I was gone but it seems that when they did the group got out of hand. So much so that three ended up handcuffed and the rest escorted from the park. Way to go, Metsies. It was funny to stumble across your ejection photos on other sites.
I could make out that the group had Mr. Met on the back of their Day-Glo orange shirts but didn't see what was printed on them: Hip Hip Hoo-Ray-Ray. How fitting that a bunch of Reyes fans got the boot. Outta here, you bums!
Last Friday night at the IronPigs game, I thought the Mets fans behind me were pretty obnoxious and chirpy for being kids, but when I tuned into what their dad was saying I understood where they got it. Tonight is the start of a four-day series with the Buffalo Bisons, now the Triple-A affiliate of the Mets and the park should be crawling with Mets fans. Should be lively.
Gotta give the Mets fans credit though. They bring the edge their team lacks. And while they bring a lot of hostility towards Philadelphia, in recent years they bring even more for their own team.
