Possible World Series Ticket Prices are insane!


 Wow. This is insane! There has to be something done with this dynamic pricing bull crap. How are long term fans supposed to support their team? How are you supposed to take a family of  three or four to a World Series game? Thieve prices you can take a family vacation and still  have money left over. I know folks who don’t pay this much for a twenty game plan at Citi Field. Hey MLB, next time you are wondering why the next generations aren’t into baseball please realize that it’s because you aren’t letting them make memories in person. As an entity, you guys want to make as much money as possible and I get it but you folks are only looking short term and showing you don’t care about the fans. You aren’t even trying to hide that fact any more.

Thanks Mark for the tip.

Anyway you know what’s priced affordably? The Queens Baseball Convention on Saturday Dec 7th. Jose Reyes, Ray Knight, Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies will all be doing panels and signings. SNY will be doing two panels and brining in their on air personalities. We have vendors, prizes, and more fun!

Some Mets X(Twitter) Round Up)


 I can't tell you guys the last time I felt Citi Field this crazy or seeing the fans this joyous. I have been to playoff games at Shea and at Citi Field and this might be the craziest night I have seen. Even when the team was down 1-0 the fans didn't have that over whelming dread they usually have. I am very happy for my friends in the Mets organization that have had to put up with years of crap behind the scenes. I have happy for my fellow fans that have put up with crap for years with this team in general. I am exhausted from this but this run should make an interesting QBC. Buy your tickets for the QBC here.

 

Darren isn't wrong about this. Some of you crap on us in the 7line Army but this is what we live for. Being able to see our team win with each other. We are there for each other good and bad,

I took David Stearns at his word that the @Mets would be competitive this year - that they would bring in some starting pitchers and compete for a Wild Card spot. But I did not see this coming - a team with the best record for the last 4+ months. Onto the NLCS and now, we'll see

— Lori Rubinson (@LRubinson) October 10, 2024

Lori is one of the best WFAN folks. She is one of us.

We had Brandon and Chelsea at QBC 2018, Two of the nicest people I have ever mer and they sure deserve this moment. They are genuine folks  

Sounds like Mets fans in the past.

People just suck. They also stole someones bag and jersey which was also recovered. 

Got to hang with Roger in the stands right after the game. Me and Mrs Goon got Celebratory McDonalds. She hates Whit Castle. I would have grabbed food with Roger.  

Chipper Jones feeling it. 

Again I have nothing to say about how much Nimmo is the man,
