Lords of the Manor

Today's win ends the Mets home stand with the team holding a 13�3 record at home.

The team hasn't always been so hot at Citi, having a winning recorded only their first (41�40) and second season there (a strong 47-34 showing in 2010), but now are just 12 home wins from getting even at CitiField.

Clearly, it's the bigger scoreboard!

Not many lords and ladies showing up at the manor unless Harvey pitches. About 21K last night.
I hope that will improve as the weather gets warmer and the fans begin to realize that this team is for real.

We're falling into the Megdal thesis here, aren't we?

Absolutely NOT.
Just an observation. Nothing Machiavellian implied.

As delightful as a .769 winning percentage at home is, it's way too premature to be thinking about records. So of course, I'm thinking about records.

According to Elias, the 1932 Yankees (62-15, .805) are the best home team since 1900 and the 1961 Yankees (65-16, .802) are second.

If you count all three of the Mets homes (and not the one "home game" they played in the Tokyo Dome) the Mets are, overall, 2166 and 2079 with 5 ties at home.

Polo Grounds: 56-105-0 .348
Shea Stadium: 1859-1713-5 .520
Citi Field: 251-261-0 .490

Fwait a minute, how do I have them eight below at Citi Field, and you have them 10 below? HOW COME?!

they're 36-45 at home in 2012. You must have transposed something.

[Edgy MD]

Well, crumbs. This might take a little longer.

[Ceetar]

no worries, they should still be able to do it on the next homestand.
