...was today. I attended as i always do, weather permitting, (it beats opening day which is often played in 30-40 degree temperatures). SUTOMCAT will want to know that the national anthem was played by a band consisting of four tubas, (although i think they were sousaphones with the opening turned forward). it was a quickly paid game, as last games tend to be, (The players want to go home or to where the club sends them next so they don't take many pitches)> it was also a very well-pitched game, which the Chiefs won 2-0. This game allowed them to stay out of last place as the Bison would have finished percentage points ahead of them had they won.
it was not only the last game of the season but the last game in which the team will be called the Chiefs. The Mets want to call them the Mets. There is a local movement to call them the Salt Potatoes, a local specialty since the days that workers at the salt works boiled potatoes in salt brine for lunch. it was also the end of the 10 year relationship with the nationals. I'll no longer have to root for a player when he's in Syracuse and against him when he moves to Washington. I'm a met fan and it will be Mets all the way.
The end of community ownership was last year. we now enter the period where this community needs to prove it wants baseball here so the Mets will keep it here.
