I called him out on it and he gave me a nasty look. I think he wanted to fight me.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-44172792376440663412008-07-28T12:51:00.000-04:002008-07-28T12:51:00.000-04:00We should use Hockey game rules at Shea.

Any time someone is caught starting or doing the wave at Citifield they could be sent next door to join in on the 'fun.' They can use the extra funds to build an underground parking garage which would help solve the resulting parking problem. I'm calling the Wilpons now and I'll let you know what they say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-79082741695368730782008-07-27T20:44:00.000-04:002008-07-27T20:44:00.000-04:00Has it ever occurred to those people who insist on...Has it ever occurred to those people who insist on taking family portraits during the game to take them BEFORE THE GAME STARTS?!?

Then having the guy who started it yelling at everyone who stayed in the seats and actually watched the game. I could see him somewhere after the game...."Yea so did you see that sick wave at Shea today? I'm the guy that made it possible"<BR/><BR/><BR/>People yelling in their cell phone "Can you see me??? I'm waving! Look across the field in the green seats near third base!! No? Can't see me? I dont see you either" There must be something about seeing someone from 600 feet away that's special. If someone could fill me in on what that thing is, I'd love to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-59618487620280346122008-07-27T19:02:00.000-04:002008-07-27T19:02:00.000-04:00Our Tuesday-Friday seats in Section 12 in the Mezz...Our Tuesday-Friday seats in Section 12 in the Mezz present the problem you describe.

Luckily it wasn't prevalent last night, but I think it's because of the general apathy permeating the crowd.
