A "celebration" in front of a half-empty stadium! :lmao:

Only the Mets would be stupid enough to have their silly "Shea Goodbye" celebration after the damn game. How stupid can you be?

It seemed more like a funeral than a celebration. How fitting.

That was beyond dumb. The idiots running the show knew damn well the Mets had a good chance of choking yet they decide to hold the celebration until after the game anyway. Makes a ton of sense. It's also funny how just a week prior Mets fans were laughing about the last game in Yankee Stadium, the Yankees suck it's our town, we'll be tough in the playoffs, blah blah blah. Yeah, this is why you hold the trash talk until you do something.

I thought MLB f*cked up the scheduling with the Yankees. The last game of the 2008 regular season should've been Red Sox @ Yankees. If you're sitting in an office in November 2007, not knowing how the '08 season would play out, wouldn't that have been your ideal? That's how you put on a show and close sh*t out. Not some f*cking game against the Orioles with a week left to play. And people have said, "But, c'mon, everyone thought the Yankees would make the playoffs. Who knew that'd be the last game at the Stadium?" MLB, if that was their thinking, was stupid to have taken it for granted. No matter how much the fans can think the playoffs are guaranteed, the league can't. And even then, who's to say the Yankees' last game in the playoffs would've been at home? They could've easily been knocked from the first round in a Game 4 loss on the road.

I digress...

I told a Mets fan the day before the "celebration" that it was a major f*ck-up to have the ceremony scheduled for after the game. No matter what it is, even if the team somehow clinched a berth from July 29th, you don't want to risk having a feel-good ceremony after a loss. Because fans, regardless of the situation, don't feel good after losses. They might not be pissed or depressed, but there'll be some something missing. Secondly, the Mets weren't even in a win-and-you're-in situation. They were relying on the Brewers to lose, too. So as a fan, you couldn't have just let out all the excitement after the game because there was still some scoreboard watching to do. Further, had the Mets won, it'd have forced a one-game play-in for the Wild Card. Which, if I heard right, would've been played at Shea since the Mets held a tiebreaker over the Brewers. The last-day party would've lost some luster since it wouldn't have been, ya know, the last day. Mets fan said, "Yeah, well it's a 1:00 game. You can't ask the fans to come to the ballpark at like 9 a.m. for the ceremony and stadium tours." Well then, they f*cked up on the TV scheduling. You're telling me no network wanted in on the Last Day o' Shea? ESPN could've had it as a Sunday night game, giving the Mets ample time to have their ceremony and sh*t pre-game (like the Yankees). ESPN doesn't have Sunday Night Football anymore. The f*ck were they showing, E:60 and poker? The sh*t was a CW11 (I think) day game, like any other, with a bunch of other games going on at the same time. You'd think that if they couldn't find a taker for the game and wound up showing it on their own network (or network affiliate) that they could've easily convinced MLB to tinker with the scheduling and, at the least, bump the start time to 4:00 so they could open the stadium at noon and start the ceremonies at 2:00. Nah. It worked out well the way they planned it.

So after another wasted season ended by another devastating loss to the f*cking Marlins, Mets fans got to sit there as the organization trotted out Todd Zeile. :lmao:
