Mets Organization Surveys Fans for Opinions Logo – Team Colors – CitiField
Posted by Señor Met in CitiFans, CitiField, New York Mets on May 17th, 2009
The Mets didn’t show up for their final game in San Francisco, despite the fact they were on National TV.
And the San Francisco finally beat the Mets 2-0.
More interesting then Mike Pelfrey’s three balks was the fact the Mets Organization has sent out uniform surveys to Mets fans asking about all sorts of cool things.
Mets Police is reporting that a survey has been sent to some Mets fans:
- Should the team keep their black uniform jerseys.
- Should they wear the white pinstripes more often for home games
- Should the Mets try white jerseys with an interlocking “NY”
- Should the Mets try blue jersey with an interlocking “NY”
- Name of Bridge at CitiField
- Questions about the Mets Baseball caps
Wanna Take the Survey? This is the Internet so anything is possible, Here’s the Mets Uniform Survey
In My Honest Opinion:
- Get Rid of the Black Uniforms. They are awful for so many reasons, most of which are mentioned in the survey.
- Wear the White Pinstripes. The Mets look great in pinstripes and they are a bit of a throwback look.
- Blue caps are the best. KISS, keep it simple stupid. That looks great. Again get rid of anything black.
- Lots of good options for the Bridge. I like that you can write in your own. I wrote in Doc Crossing.
CitiField Streaker Propels Mets to Come From Behind Victory
Posted by Señor Met in Atlanta Braves, Carlos Beltran, CitiField on May 13th, 2009
A nearly naked fan with “Lets Go Mets” streaked across the diamond and slid into 2nd base. The streaker only wore a stuffed animal that wrapped around his package like a thong, much to the pleasure of the 39,000 fans of this fan. Despite being arrested, the first CitiField Streaker sparked the Mets to come from behind late in a game for the first time this year.
Mets now own the Braves.
Carlos Beltran made lots of things happen, which he has been doing all season long.

From Unknown to Well Known with One Swing of the Bat
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Florida Marlins on April 28th, 2009
Omir Santos stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the first inning…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Who is this guy?”
After Santos swung the bat…
Mets fans were saying to themselves “Where has this guy been?”
Omir Santos Grand Slam at Citi Field AP Photo
Omir Santos hit his first career grand slam, hell, it was his first career home run and his first career RBIs.
Filling in for injured catcher Brian Schneider, Santos made the most of his opportunity by hitting CitiField’s first ever grand slam that kept the Florida Marlins reeling for their seventh straight loss.
After the game, reliever J.J. Putz gave Santos a little welcome to the team moment. While Santos was being interviewed on the field, Putz gave him a shaving cream facial.
Santos wasn’t the only one to shine tonight as the Mets starting pitching was also great. John Maine delivered a one hit 6 inning performance and the Mets won 7-1.
For one day, the stars were aligned over New York. Both clutch hitting and impressive starting pitching. Maybe all it took was an unknown.
12 Year Old Girl Throws Perfect Game, Mets Add Her to Rotation
A 12 year old girl, Mackenzie Brown, became the first girl in Bayonne, New Jersey Little League history to pitch a perfect game. Facing 18 boys, Mackenzie did not allow a single hit, walk, or base runner as she struck out 12.
The Mets are having Mackenzie throw out the first pitch in the opening game of the upcoming series with the Washington Nationals.
Jackie Robinson Rotunda
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Jackie Robinson Field on April 16th, 2009
The signature area of CitiField, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, was dedicated before the Mets 7-2 win against the Padres.
When Jackie Robinson’s wife Rachel Robinson was introduced to the podium inside the Rotunda there was a long standing ovation.
“I’m speechless. Jack was actually a very humble man. Some of you who are baseball fans wouldn’t believe that because you only saw him on the field arguing with umpires and trying to beat the other guys. But he was a very humble man. I think he would have been stunned by being acknowledged in this way and remembered in this way. It’s so grand and so beautiful. And the rotunda is not just a physical space but it carries with it so many memories and so many messages.”
“I want you to know that all those photographs are done in tile, so this thing is not an exhibit. This is here to stay! And I love the permanence of it. Not many things are permanent in life around now.”
“It’s a great thrill, and it’s also a little bit painful because of all the old memories kind of flowing back into me when I look at the pictures of our family at certain stages, or Jack’s career at certain stages. I feel very emotional about it, but very positive.”
“This is a great day for us. There’s been talk about the challenges that faced us and things we’ve been through. I want you to know that on this day, I feel blessed. I don’t feel like I’m a victim of anything or that I couldn’t manage. I feel strengthened by the life that we led.”
First Win at CitiField
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, San Diego Padres on April 16th, 2009
A solid game for the Mets, who today did all the little things that bode well for a successful season.
Good baserunning. Good defense Good relief pitching. Good starting pitching. Good sacrifices. Good Delgado.
NY gets First Ever Win at CitiField 7-2 over the San Diego.
Citi Field Opens with a Purrrrrrr
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Opening Day, San Diego Padres on April 13th, 2009
The long awaited opening of the New York City Metropolitans new home, CitiField, didn’t open with a Roar as we had all hoped.
It opened with a purrrr.
As for the other entertainment on opening day, the upstart San Diego Padres beat the Mets 6-5.
Those same Padres that lost 99 games last year. Those same Padres that were put on the schedule to open at CitiField so the Mets could get an easy win. Those same Padres that I hope trade Jake Peavy to the Mets one day soon.
Let’s Go Make CitiField’s Inauguration Special! Lets Go Win the Opening Series! Let’s Go Mets!!!
PETITION: Change CitiField to Jackie Robinson Field
Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Jackie Robinson Field on April 13th, 2009
The “Citi” in “CitiField” just doesn’t resonate the same way now that it did a couple years ago.
CitiBank greed has caused much of the downturn in the economy. Read this guys take on the CitiCrooks and CitiField.
Señor Met agrees the name needs to be changed.
CitiBank is almost completely owned by the American people. New York City is the Face of the Nation. Change the name to Jackie Robinson Field. Honor a Great Man. Honor one of the Greatest Moments in Baseball History, American History.

Posted by Señor Met in CitiField, Opening Day on April 13th, 2009
Today marks one of the Greatest Days in the History of the New York Metropolitans History.
CitiField is Finally Here.
May God Bless the grass, the dirt, the steele, the sushi bar.
May this be the start of something beautiful. May this be the home of incredible plays, exciting teams, and championship banner filled walls.
