Happened to notice the Mets website prominently displays a new message.

GREAT TIME. GREAT PLACE. GREAT MEMORIES.

New Mets Lite! Great Waste, Less Winning.

Doesn't sell the present too much, does it?

It's like a sequel to "Our Team! Our Time!"

"Our Team! Our Time! Was in the Past!"

I thought they tore down the place with all the great memories?

The commercial seems to indicate a Mets no-hitter could break out at any moment. And technically, I suppose it could.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, it could. And that's really the only one "great memory" that ever happened at Citi Field.

There are probably any number of "nice" memories, but all of the "great" ones, except for the Santana no-hitter, happened at Shea. (Or at the Astrodome, I suppose.)

[G-Fafif]

No leveraging the 20th win (Dickey's, not the Mets') in current advertising, sadly. That was pretty great.

[HahnSolo]

Sounds like a slogan for Cheers. And with the crowds at Citi, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" would be an appropriate theme song.

I have great memories of my one game at Citi in 2009, bringing my son, dad and cousin and seeing my brick for the first time -- and hanging with G-FAFIF.

The memories don't necessarily have to be things on that take place on the field. They're selling the experience, which is pretty much what they have to work with these days.

If they game out with a slogan promising greatness and winning, we'd be all over their asses for that, too.

It's a long winter. Sometimes I think we can give them a little slack.

Great Time- what, more day games?
Great Place- to get a new transmission for your '84 Firebird.
Great Memories- Geez, I already wake up in the middle of the night screaming. What else can they do to me?
