Could you just post the pictures of the fans with that depressed look on their faces?

I hope you guys win as many games in the playoffs as you did last year.

Once, I was describing to a friend what a dump Candlestick Park was. He said to me, "you've never been to Shea, have you?"

I've been to Shea...what a dump...I'm glad that piece is getting destroyed

Citi Field...Congrats Mets fans - I'm sure you can't wait to become the Yankees 1A with your new field, TV network, and highly priced, over-valued players that will bring you to the playoffs every year. And then you'll be nothing more than a Yankees fan - which I'm sure you know is the lowest of sports fan form.

Phillies fans seem to have a short memory...their team played in a spectacular dump called Vererans Stadium.

Yeah and I know both well. And Shea was far worse. It's in fucking Queens for Christ's sake. You can smell the tire fires from the parking lot. Plus, we're 5 years removed from the Vet.

Never been to Shea but I've heard it was enormous and it was a complete dump.

I went to a Phillies game at the Vet back in 2000 and I thought I was gonna get knifed on the lower concourse. Awesome fans but one heck of a depressing concrete donut. I need to check out a game at the new park for sure...

I'm confused. You live in Philly and haven't been to the Bank yet? And you've only been to one game at the Vet back in 2000?

No, I don't live in PA. I used to travel that area for work. I lived in Maryland at the time.

I am on a mission to get to every ballpark in MLB. I have been to 22 so far -- three of which don't exist anymore: The Vet, Tiger Stadium and Cinergy Field. I think the best are Petco, PNC and AT&T (Giants). Never been to any of the NY parks...maybe next year...

Get to Citizens Bank. It's awesome.

I have been there 5 times... I think its beautiful besides the piece of shit fans. And Shea was MUCH nicer than the Vet.

Call Shea a dump, but it was METS fans dump.

The piece of shit fans that now have back to back division championships.

Does Reyes do his little dances on the golf course?

Whatever you want to classify Shea Stadium as, there's no denying it was a unique place. Wish I made more of an effort to get there to see a game. Check out this peice from Paul Lukas on Page 2 at espn.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/080926

Classic mid-60's shot here:

Makes me think of the Beatles and Tom Seaver...

Those classic metal confetti panels were removed in 1980, but appently they hold some sort of cult status to the Mets' faithful -- immortalized if the form of body art: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/2844513045_c060447942_o.jpg

I'm not a Met fan, but regarding these places, I can understand the sentimentality. I've heard fans say, this may a dump but it's our dump. The new places are nice, but there's something to be said for the old and antiquated places in all sports.

I've been going to Shea for Mets/Phils games since I was 9. Shea was worse than the Vet. Sure the Vet was astroturf, but everything about Shea wreaked of trash. Once again, I can't stress enough the junk yards, and tire fires that litters this piece of garbage land instead of bars to hit up afterwards. There's absolutely NOTHING around this area worth staying around for except a tailgate which the cops are dicks about.

From one piece of shit fan to another (and more trashy) - have fun NOT watching your team in the playoffs. Eat it.

Dude thats just an excuse Shea doesn't smell. Let's see what the Phil's do. God they suck... lets see how many games you would win not playing in that bandbox CPB.

U still struggle to win a division in that ballpark.

I love all the excuses. We were still in the top of the league in doubles and homers in games AWAY. So it doesn't matter. And what happens in the playoffs remains to be seen. And that's the beauty of it see? We know what your fate is already.

And struggle? Call it what you will. I'll call it two straight division titles.

Jearlpam0925, you are awesome!!! I hate the Mets and was so glad to see them lose AGAIN on the last day at Shea!!!

Good luck in the playoffs until you get to my Dodgers!

Love you too buddy! I'd much rather be a "piece of shit" fan of a winning team in a beautiful stadium as opposed to whatever you deplorable human beings call yourselves up there. I don't know what was more exciting for me....being there on Saturday night when the Phillies clinched or watching Wes Helms (WES FREAKING HELMS) knock you out of the playoffs again. I made sure to DVR's the 8th and 9th inning yesterday just for all the crowd shots of you "piece of shit fans" sulking and looking like you wanted to die. I was literally laughing outloud.

Warmest regards,
Jose Reyes
The most exciting player in Major League Baseball

PS...this is all you need to know about the Muts:
"In the clubhouse, players who endured a miserable fall and a dreary winter could not believe they were in for more of the same. José Reyes sat sobbing in front of his locker, his head in his hands, cursing himself. Wright, who admitted feeling pressure to carry the team, staggered around like a zombie, his eye black smudged. Jeff Wilpon, the chief operating officer, walked around consoling players, shaking Schoeneweis’s hand and sitting beside John Maine and Mike Pelfrey to offer encouragement. As he left, Carlos Beltrán fell onto Martínez’s shoulder, crying."

More reason the Mets are pieces of shit is that part of their new stadium is going to look like Ebbets Field.

Memo to douchebags: get your own history. The Dodgers left. Move on.

dontloseyourheat · September 2008

Back in 06 I went to Shea for the first time. While it was generic, I was amazed by the size of it. Those upper decks are STEEEEP.

The next year I went to Yankee Stadium for the first time...the Cathedral of Baseball, the House the Ruth Built, the Happiest Place on Earth, etc and I was amazed by how much it sucked. Everything about the place was dull. The color of everything was faded, like a plastic bucket that has been sitting outside for years. If it wasn't for the white facade, the place would have been more generic that Shea. I don't understand the love that place gets, to me both were depressing shitholes.

nothingman44 · September 2008

where are the pictures of the mets team picture where they are all choking?

CROJAM95 · September 2008

I just want the Phils fans in here and the 1 Met fan it seems like your jumpin on to know your both makin me laugh

Philly hasn't won shit in shit in forever!! Mitch Williams is a choker, so is McNabb,Iverson,Lindros and all your super lame players over the years.

Oh I forgot the sixers almost beat the Pistons this year,and Eagles looked good against Dallas for 1/2 the game, and the Flyers could have beaten the Penguins, and the Phillies this year(insert your favorite all time excuse)

Mets fans talkin shit to me after my Yankees were sent home early "Dont worry we'll win it this year", your team is a FUCKIN JOKE
