Are Mets fans spiraling out?

  Here we go again. The Mets are Metsing. The Fans are Metsing. Sports Radio is Metsing. There are fan groups on Facebook losing their crap over the make up of the team and it is amazing. When did everyone become experts and GMs? Is it because MLB: The Show has become so realistic in GM mode that folks have come away from playing it thinking that they are GMs and know better than people paid to run teams? If you are so good at it, why are you working your current job and not in the game of baseball? 

Is it Sports Radio stemming back from Mike and the Mad Dog? Where they both were really passioned about what they talked about and would get upset about NY Sports? You know before how they saw the formula of add some Jerry Springer into their broadcasts would draw numbers? Then other sports radio hosts cloned their gimmicks and then the fans thinking this is the way you react to sports? Sports Radio hosts and their call in listeners were the original twitter. All outrage to feel validated when they get aired with on air.

Is it because fans have money wrapped up online sports betting? Losing money like that would drive folks crazy too.

Is it because just like everything else entertainment wise that it is just getting too expensive to go to a game and folks don't want to waste money on a crappy product? Are they getting nickel and dimed for parking, food, drinks, tickets, and fees for all of that?  

It isn't like the Mets are the Pirates, didn't spend money and try to put together a winner. They parts that they put together for Super yacht seemed to be mismatched and the engine isn't going to work right until something is done. 

Am I going to bang down the door right now to go see games live? Nope. But I do have my tickets that I have already purchased and will be going to those games.  I am not boycotting the team. This isn't like the Wilpons owning the team and they didn't have the money to put back into the team. There are other reasons to not want to go to games though.

The parking situations sucks. It is going to suck for a few years. It might end up sucking for the rest of the time that the Mets are still on Earth and don't move to Mercury. I am going to continue watching clips(can't call them highlights the way the Mets are playing) and try to enjoy going to games with family and friends when I have tickets.

Remember being a fan of anything is not that serious. You can stop watching without making announcements about it.

Besides throwing out a first pitch eleven years ago at Citi Field this was another bucket list thing for me to do. I am a huge wrestling fan and to be able to have a cool moment like this was awesome. It was great having so may of my friends and family come out and hang out for my 50th.

This shirt cracks me up. When I was a kid, yes I couldn't wait to get to Shea for an Ice Cream in a helmet. At 45 bucks though that is a little rough.
