2008 New York Mets

Some knucklehead told me over the weekend that the Mets were going to have a conversation with Barry Bonds and/or his agents. Is there any shred of truth to that, or was he (a Braves fan) just trying to get on my nerves?

I don't think Omar could be so dense as to bring that guy on-board.

Well, there were several articles floating about recently that said the Mets should talk to Bonds. But I'm pretty sure these were opinions of writers and not based in fact.

Mets looked good the last two days, so I'm getting pretty excited. Also, Beltran and Delgado both played today! That means only Castillo and Alou hasve yet to play, we're definitely getting healthier!

rumors are pretty strong that the Mets and Red Sox are close to a deal, with the Mets sending Angel pagan to the Sox for Coco Crisp. Sounds like a total salary dump, as Crisp is owed $30 mil over 3 years I believe.

This was already debunked by about everyone:

well, I'm here to re-bunk it, because it wasn't mentioned here, and because I just heard about it on the radio. So go ahead, just try and re-debunk it. I dare you.

Nice try though.

Well, at least I got to invent/use the words re-bunk and redebunked. The deal didn't make any sense to me, so I'm not really surprised to hear it was bunk. Pagan may be having a great spring, but he'd be a farmhand for the Sox. I'm sure they want to get rid of Crisp's salary, but I can't see just giving him away for a farmhand.

Whole lotta bunkin' going on.

Takes me back to the late 90's, when Mike Piazza shared a bunk with Sam Champion.....

Four solid innings from Pedro yesterday.

Two weeks to Opening Day (proper). Can't wait to see the '08 Mets in action!

Let's Go Mets!

To all Mets fans who will be in the NYC area for the Pearl Jam shows in June:

I would like to propose a motion that we all congregate for a pre-PJ Mets game on June 23rd. The Amazins are scheduled to host--appropriately--the Seattle Mariners at 7:10 pm. Do I hear seconds?

If seconded and agreed upon, let us all buy tickets, consume beverages, and enjoy watching our New York Mets before two days of Pearl Jam concerts.

Keep up the thread. LET'S GO METS!

Sounds good to me.

Where do you Mets fans prefer to sit when you go to Shea?

I found tickets for the 6/23 game in Section 31 for ~$35. What's your opinion of those?

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Just wanted to know a little about the folks I'm dealing with here. Those tickets were just the first option that came up on mets.mlb.com. How do you normally find tickets for games at Shea?

I'm in Florida, so this will be my first (and only) game at Shea Stadium. That's why I'm leaning on you locals a bit.

John Maine pitched an excellent game against the Orioles yesterday. I forgot to mention that earlier.

Let's Go Mets!

i can't speak for others but i personally go for the cheapest seats there such as the upper deck reserved behind the plate and for that game before the surcharges, they are 10 dollars.

Personally, I'd prefer to go for cheaper seats and I also like to be along the base path between 1st/3rd and home. I find behind the plate to be a little of an awkward view. Stub hub usually has good tickets, or just showing up and buying at Shea. I've never ever had a problem doing this.

To be honest, there are $10 tickets, which I would much prefer to get. I know it sounds cheap, but I am way low on cash, especially with the concerts this summer.

But, if you guys want to go for the $27 tickets, I could probably scrounge up for those.
