Technically, the first home run at Citi Field was hit by Georgetown third baseman, Sean Lamont. But no, the home run apple did not pop up. And it shouldn’t have, just like when an opponent hits one out. That should be reserved for the first Mets home run, which hopefully is the first home run [...] more... 
Here at Mets Are Better Than Sex, we’re stuck on the new stadium ticket smorgasbord mess this week. The good news- you can still get tickets to Citi Field Opening Day. The bad news- it’s going to cost you an arm, a leg, and part of your mortgage payment if you’re one of the few [...] more... 
Following suit, the Yankees put tickets on sale yesterday for the regular-season. Just as Mets fans did in pouncing on the low priced tickets, Yankees fans not immune to the recession also trampled each other into trying to snag bleacher and upper deck seats, aka the cheap seats. In other words fans are doing what [...] more... 
Considering the new jacked up ticket prices for Citi Field, I really had no plans to scramble for overpriced Mets tickets when they went on sale last week. Plus the fact that neither me or any of my friends were selected for the opening day ticket raffle, the fan in me kicked in and I [...] more...

Our New York Mets continue to steal the spotlight in WBC. U.S. vs Puerto Rico, elimination game, down two runs in the ninth, David Wright gets two-RBI game winning hit to lift Team USA into the semis and gets mauled in the process by Derek Jeter and teammates. Playoff baseball in March! There’s nothing better. [...] more... 
In a round 2 heavyweight match up, Puerto Rico pounded Team USA 11-1 leaving them on the brink of elimination. Not only was this a pounding, this was a submission, a mercy, and an “embarrassment” as many Team USA players called it. Some would call this an upset, but I’m not so sure about that. [...] more... 
As each spring training day passes, it seems the plan to stockpile a bunch of nobodies to battle it out for the final spot in the rotation is not working out. At this rate, unless Omar can pull a rabbit, er Pedro Martinez, out of his hat, not excellence but the mere process of elimination [...] more... 
World Baseball Classic sourpusses can continue to hate on the tourney and make everyone believe these games don’t mean anything. Try telling that to the players and electric crowds. This is an instant classic in the making. Here are some strong statements from the voices that matter: Carlos Beltran “There is not one experience in [...] more... 
I think that explains why the team and their fans and blogs etc can’t shut up even though they just won the World Series. It takes a lot more than one title to get those nasty bad habits out of the system. I explain further on NBC, Unfortunately for the venerable home of the steak-and-cheese [...] more...
