Vote Mets Into the 2018 All-Star Game!
Passing this along from the Mets, who are in the midst of their 2018 All-Star campaign. Coincidently, the two all-stars that will probably be on the team, Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo, are both not on the ballot. deGrom because pitchers aren’t voted in by the fans, and Nimmo because he started as a reserve…

Is It Time for Citi Field to Bring Back the Organ (Tracks)?
Do me a favor. Close your eyes, and picture you are at the game. When you’ve done that, click play on the video below (you might have to open your eyes for that). “No, Niko, the seventh inning stretch was never played on the organ at Citi Field” And you’d be right, that’s because that…

The Subway Series Has Lost it’s Luster? I Don’t Think So….
Yesterday, I went to a Subway Series game with one of my friends (who happens to be a Yankee fan). We were sitting up in section 516, a section typically dominated by Mets plan holders, but was instead taken over by Yankee fans, causal baseball fans, and the corporate “suits”.
