Read: OK to Boo, But not in April
According to Joshua Robinson, in the New York Times, “No employee in the Mets organization is safe anymore,” because, “The frustrated fans at Shea 
Stadium are prepared to boo.”
Meanwhile, in a column for SNY.tv, Ted Berg says that it is OK to be, but it’s not OK to boo in April, adding:
“I think the real problem starts in the media. Local columnists love a good bugaboo, and this year, they’re treated to the supposed hangover from the Great Collapse of 2007… Fans read and hear about the carryover effect of 2007 and boo when they think they see it playing out in front of their eyes. It’s their prerogative and as an avowed booer myself, I’m hardly one to judge. But it seems senseless to boo a team so early in the season, with so little evidence to back it up.”
…yesterday, i asked readers to send me info on why they boo the Mets while at home, and i was sent nearly 300 e-mails…oddly, though, according to the poll from the same post, only 20 percent of you boo the Mets at home…so, according to this site’s readership, a small but vocal minority is painting the rest of us as a loud and angry mob…which is not accurate…of course, you would not know that by listening to talk radio and reading mainstream reports, which must be salivating at the idea of a million Mets fans wanting jump from a bridge…
Scott Schoeneweis, as quoted by Robinson…
“I don’t really want to care about the fans anymore. If they want to boo, let them boo. I’m not going to take them out to dinner.”
Billy Wagner, as quoted by Robinson…
“If they’re booing for ridiculous reasons, you just let them look like idiots and go about your business…Their expectations are high, just like ours. It’s been 11 games and we’ve got a lot of baseball left. But they’re booing now because they must have expected us to go undefeated this year.”
David Wright, as quoted by Robinson…
“The fans expect us to go out there and win…This year, they’re impatient with what happened last year and they want to see results right away. When that doesn’t happen, they express their concern.”
…the sense i am getting, from the e-mails sent to me, is that the booing may be coming from a group of people who believe this team was never held accountable for their failure from last season…but, i’m still researching this and intend to talk about it more during my on-air, pre-game segment tomorrow night…
