Just came back from the beautifully redone Syracuse Mets, (whom I call the Smets to differentiate them from the parent club), ballpark. This time I was able to move around due to the relaxing of restrictions and walked from the new "Bullpen Bar" over the left field fence to the redone 'Salt City' Deck in right and all points in between, including  the completely redone restaurant and souvenir shops , the two 'berns' in right and left field, and the shelf you can lean on that appears in various forms around the stadium. I also liked the tables you can sit around behind home plate. The Mets are certainly serious about making the Smets a success now that they own it and Syracuse baseball fans need to come out to the new palace and show their support of the effort.

Unfortunately, the Smets lost game one 5-8 and game two 4-5, (after talking a 4-0 lead), their 14th and 15th losses in a row, (they are now 11-33 on the season. The previous game I had attended they lost 1-16. They probably weren't going to be very good to begin with but with all the Met's injuries, much of their intended line-up has played in New York, (and some of the New York Mets have played here briefly). The starting pitcher for the second game was a guy the Smets had signed from the independent leagues, something that may become common now since the minor leagues have been stripped down. There doesn't seem to be many answers for the parent club down on the farm and Steve Cohen's #1 priority should be to build up the farm system.
