You know, you're not going to uncover anything worth additional polling. Or even get sufficient voting. It's not like someone is going to raise their hand and argue the merits of the ghost runner, everyone here says how much it sucks whenever the situation arises or when we turn attention to things that suck. That's never changed since they announced it. You don't need a poll to measure that. The 2nd answer is the DH - it interferes with the 9 guys, hit-field foundation of the game. Everyone here is old enough to totally hate it. The three-batter reliever rule doesn't much bother me in practice but goes against the free-substitution framework of baseball so I'm against it
Bigger crowd than any Tuesday Night last year-,easily. It was all full except for the high deck outfield seats. That meant crowded concessions and bathrooms too. Could have used more help at the beer line. Seats were great, Phillies fans were nearby but never could get a rythym going. Atmosphere was *intense* for April 22. Explosive moments like Alonso and Torrens' hits and the 3 DPs especially the Schwarber one. Some dumb guys started a MVP chant for Lindor. Too early for that. Had a Miller Lite and trip to the men's room that fortunately allowed me to miss the borough mascot race.
Serizez like this one are why I wish 1st place was something worth fighting for again. I feel like the David Stearns Mets are indifferent to 1st place--it made absolutely no difference that the Phillies had such a great regular season last year to get punked by a third place team that didn't get 10 games over 500 till mid-august.
Dozens of Mets since the early 00s have lived in the City Lights building in Long Island City. At one time that was the only waterfront tower, today there are probably 20. But the Mets at one time had a deal with the building and routinely put guys up there, new & young guys particularly.
