Being in the N lot was like being at Shea. All the buses had to be in that lot also so there were a bunch of Phillies tailgates around. At one point a huge mets bus pulled into the lot and parked next to a bus with like 20 phillies fans tailgating out front. when the first mets fans started getting off the phillies fans were letting them have it. but as more and more mets fans were getting off, about 50 or 60 of them the phillies fans started to get friendly and joke with them. the mets fans punked them out. I got a lot of ribbing from phillies fans but i responded to every remark and then some. overall i think the phillies fans' notorious harshness is over-rated. my section, 306, had a ton of mets fans. there were security permanantely stationed in this area and about 2 fans were thrown out per inning. the security was very proactive which was probably the reason why i saw NO fights. pretty amazing considering. if you gave the finger you got the boot. overall i thought most phillies fans were respectful and 90% of the ribbers were all talk and backed down with a response. nice stadium overall and great food, i'm psyched for citifield to open. ps- why is ron announcing on tbs right now? at least it'll make this game watchable.

What about a .640 OPS don't you like?? I know I'll get disagreement here, but just as it was too early after five games to write off the Mets, (and just as it's too early after 16 games to say the Mets have risen above mediocrity) it's too early to consign Delgado to the bench (and I know you weren't suggesting an immediate benching.) While he put up weak numbers on the whole last season, his second half wasn't bad -- .844 OPS, and .949 in September. I still think there may be something in the tank. But, to the extent that you're suggesting contingency plans, the Mets have to think about it. One option is to unload one of the B-Mets first basemen to an AL team for an off-the-bench power hitter on the ML level. That probably couldn't happen before the ASB. We can't be certain who that would be, because we don't know yet what teams will be out of the running. We have an idea, though, and I think Kevin Millar could be a candidate to end up on the Mets for prospects. Just throwing that out there. My preference is not to trade prospects, but depending on how things shake out at Binghamton, we may have three good hit no field prospects that we simply won't have room for. Bench Delgado?

It was my first time at the stadium and I will say its a nice stadium but the Philly fans are so obnoxious. I almost got into a big fight with one of them but it was no use.
