Meet the Mets!




The New York Mets have not lived up to their expectations for the past 3 years. After chasing high profile players such as Johan Santana, Pedro Martinez, and K-Rod, the Mets have not done a damn thing to change their losing ways. But alas, I stay loyal to the teams I have cheer for season after season.

Before this lost season closes, I had a chance to visit the new Citi Field. The stadium is quite impressive. The food alone is a reason to go to the game. There is a tv in every corner so you don't miss any of the hapless Met's action.



We stood in line for a good 3 innings for the "Shack Burger" it was worth the wait. Shake Shack’s burger combining brisket with chuck and short rib, was the best part of the game!
You’ll have the option of ordering a single Shack burger ($5.75) or a double ($8.75). They even have a tribute to Chicago with the The Shack-ago dog ($5.75)..pun intended! The hot dogs are even Vienna beef with all the tradition Chicago Dog fix'ins.



The Mets lost...per usual...so on to the next season for this Met fan who is still remembering the '86 Mets and the Straw that stirred the drink





After the game we even saw Spider-Man playing the sax...haha
