This week, Mike talks about how the Mets are going to be going toe-to-toe with the Yankees from now on, because the Mets are going to have a shiny new stadium!
Shea sometimes feels as old as dirt. It is the Mets who feel new all over again, even as their new ballpark is built in front of our eyes, on the edges of this season. The Yankees will have their own new ballpark by then. But it will not be Yankee Stadium and they will not draw 4 million anymore. The Mets will draw as big as the Yankees draw when both new parks are open, and will go toe-to-toe with them from now on.
Yes people - the Mets new "Citi Field" (pronounced "Shitty Field") will somehow magically put the Mets in the same league as the Yankees.
Apparently, Yankees fans will stop going to Yankees games because it will no longer be "Yankee Stadium".
And the Mets will draw as many people as the Yankees, because of that new stadium, and because their super cool mascot, Mr. Met, will be there too!
Why people will FLOCK to Shitty Field
Nobody can win the past with the Yankees. The Red Sox can't, the Mets can't, no one can.
Good for you Mike! The first step to recovery is being able to admit you have a problem.
But this is a fair fight between the Yankees and Mets from now on.
Easy, Mikey.
You had a taste of the post season after completely SUCKING for five years. (You wanna talk about payroll? How'd that National League top payroll work out for the Mets in 2005? 3rd place. 2004? Last place. 2003? Last place.)
Come back to us when the Mets actually WIN a world series.
I'll even take a NL pennant, just because I'm a nice guy.
And because you are so pathetic in your desperation.
The Yankees aren't going to dominate baseball ever again the way they did between 1996 and 2000.
Right - because history proves the Yankees never had the ability to dominate.
Well, except for the late '70s.
And early '60s. And there was that stretch in the '50s. And the late '40's.
Late '30s and '20s too.
Other than those times, the Yankees never dominated. And we shouldn't expect them to dominate ever again.
Even with the age we always hear about on their pitching staff, even with 40-year-old Moises Alou playing left and old Valentin at second, there is still something fresh and new to the Mets
Fresh and new?
Could it be the World Series trophy?
Haha, no, that can't be it.
Could it be Billy (We Are Gonna Need Extra Runs) Wagner?
Haha, I don't think so.
Could it be the emergence of Reyes and Wright?
Possibly.
I know what it is - it's Paul LoDuca's posse of underaged girlfriends!
Fresh and new indeed.
It is only the first week. The Mets make us pay attention to them already, as they try to come out of the blocks this season the way they did last season. That was an amazing series against the Cardinals in St. Louis, even if it didn't make up for Yadier Molina. The Braves' series started with that beatdown Friday night.
The Braves series started with a win, and ended with 2 losses.
Fresh and new?
Sounds more like "same old, same old" to me.
There will be almost daily speculation about Roger Clemens, as if the Stadium will fall down before Shea does if the Yankees don't somehow sign a pitcher who will turn 45 this season, one who walked away from them nearly four years ago.
The only one who has been speculating about Clemens for the past year has been YOU.
Time to move on Mike.
Maybe it will be this way for the Mets someday, after they have won a World Series or two.
Mike, they've been around for over 40 years and have a grand total of TWO World Series titles.
Get over this fact - the Mets will never be on the same level as the Yankees.
Ever.
Lets see the Mets match the quality of the Braves last decade first.
Hell, catch up to the success of the friggin Marlins first before you try comparing the Mets to the Yankees.
Get your head out of your ass - one division title does not make a team.
And a poorly named new stadium isnt going to help.
Pass on the Kool Aid Mike - you've had enough.

How do I get some kind of reprieve from the daily A-Rod clutch-hitting watch?
You have two choices: turn off the TV or watch him as he destroys the league.
It's not rocket science.
Just because he is light years better than your boyfriend Reyes doesnt mean you cant enjoy watching him.
You think Carlos Beltran, even at $100 million, is looking like more and more of a bargain to the pinstripers?
I dont know, last October he looked more and more like a statue.
Happy Birthday today to my point guard, Zach Lupica, age 15. Everybody always says you can't measure heart. You keep showing everybody.
SHADDAP!!! No one gives a rat's ass.
