Comments on: Opinion: I Will Miss the Braves Playing at Shea http://www.metsblog.com/2008/09/12/opinion-i-will-miss-the-braves-playing-at-shea/ Latest Mets News, Links, Rumors and Opinion Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: andy92072 http://www.metsblog.com/2008/09/12/opinion-i-will-miss-the-braves-playing-at-shea/#comment-326930 andy92072 Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:34:04 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/?p=18601#comment-326930 Love hearing those "Larry" chants. Don't think it's had much of an effect on him, though-Chip's one of those players who can tune it out. If he ever became a Met, we'd love him. Unlike a certain relief pitcher (Jeff Foxworthy may have been referring to him in his "You Might Be A Redneck If" routine), we only do this because of the damage he does to us on the field. Off the field, nothing eventful. Heck, anyone who names one of his kids Shea can't be so bad. I'm sure this weekend someone will ask #10 about not playing at Shea anymore. The last word-if and when Mr. Jones does play his last game in New York, he will get a huge ovation. Rarely has an opponent done such damage against us for such a long time (in Brooklyn, that's how Stan Musial got his nickname "The Man"). Love hearing those “Larry” chants.

And why cant the record during the season count as the tiebreaker, like in football. Or at least give them the home field advantage. Why cant it be the better team that hosts the World Series.
