The Mets Are Capable Of Screwing Up Anything
January 17th, 2009 by MattI almost feel bad for the Mets and their fans. Almost.
First, they are coming off of back to back choke jobs in September at the hands of the Phillies. Then, the namesake for their new stadium, Citigroup, becomes the poster child for the economic meltdown, spawning nicknames for the new park like Bailout Field. Then, the Mets’ owners reveal that they were caught up in Bernie Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
That’s not exactly going to be one of the more fun chapters in the Mets Encyclopedia.
Now, we’re just a couple of months away from the opening of Citi Field, and the Mets have unveiled the official patch for the inaugural season.
Wow. They can’t be serious, can they? I’m hoping they didn’t actually pay someone to create this. I mean, I know money might be tight in Flushing right now, but this is ridiculous.
Here are a couple of suggestions to spruce up the patch.
My favorite:

Stephen Colbert tips his hat to the Mets for their patch. He must be a Phillies fan.
