Good piece here on
Fox Sports from Bob Klapisch. Suggests that all the Mets skip the All-Star Game, they bring in the fences at Citi, and suggests the Mets cut ticket prices.
Bringing in Citi's centerfield fences is one option. So is removing the upper half of the 16-foot wall that makes it so hard to go deep. An eight-foot barrier would be more reasonable.
The club's other option is to morph into the 1980s-era Cardinals, emphasizing speed, defense and pitching. Since 2004, the Mets have become a quasi-American League entity trying to out-slug the Phillies — with limited success.
Sorry Bob, we tried the speed thing. You may remember a player named Vince Coleman. I'll stick with pitching and defense.
Check it out.
