NEW YORK METS TICKETS

Reasons to Buy New York Mets Tickets

Expectations are soaring out of the park for the New York Mets and Mets ticket sales this season. Despite their loss to the World Series champions St. Louis Cardinals last year, they came out swinging away with a three-game sweep on the opening of this season against the Cardinals. This not only gives them the best opening day winning percentage of any team in the league, but gives supporting fans reasons to buy up more Mets tickets.

Suspense and drama is sure to run the bases this year with a questionable pitching staff and the hardest playing schedule of any major league team. The addition of Moises Alou in the outfield is sure to ease up tension for Tom Glavine and Orlando Hernandez on the mound. With his winning mind-set and diving catches he’s sure to provide some entertainment for Mets ticket holders.

Not only that, Mets tickets are sure to fly fast with the new bigger, better attitude that is in the air around the outfit this year. The team has decided to look at 2007 in an all or nothing way. If there is no World Series for them, then it wasn’t a good season. This new found outlook may be some of manager Willie Randolph’s doing in order to keep the home runs flowing from last year’s close brush with the World Series.

Take Me Out to the Ball Park with Shea Stadium Tickets

Shea Stadium in itself will make you want to grab up Mets tickets this season faster than you can say home run. The stadium screams personality and holds such crowd pleasers as the big apple, representing New York, which pops out of the Mets Magic Top hat every time a Mets player hits a home run. While walking into the stadium, the Mets theme song “Meet the Mets” is sure to be heard, and with a new stadium to open for the Mets in 2009, Shea Stadium is a ballpark that everyone will want to see before it goes.

You’ll Want Mets Tickets for These Big Match-Up’s

The Mets play their cross town rivals the New York Yankees on May 18-20th, and the World Series champions St. Louis Cardinals on June 25-28th. These are some of the most exciting match-ups to catch in Shea Stadium, so don’t hesitate to get Met tickets now!
Lucky for fans that buy New York Mets tickets, owner Fred Wilpon believes in “spend it like ya got it.” To that end, he’s given Mets GM Omar Minaya control of his checkbook and Minaya hasn’t been bashful about doing what it takes to assemble a winner to play in Shea Stadium. In the process, he’s sending a message that there are TWO baseball teams in the Big Apple. That fellow smiling over in the corner is Mets Manager Willie Randolph. Those gleeful giggles you hear are giddy New York Mets ticket buyers poised for an exciting season.

Let’s see, Minaya has brought in Carlos Delgado, Billy Wagner and Paul Lo Duca to add to a star-studded roster that already features Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran. Holy Millions Batman! But wait; fans are responding to the point where the sale of New York Mets tickets is ahead of last year. Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to work?
So their lineup should be formidable but the Mets pitching staff hits the proverbial slippery slope after Pedro Martinez takes his turn. Fans are still waiting for Victor Zambrano to break out. Sadly, sometimes guys like VZ never do.

Look up “long in the tooth” in your favorite book of expressions and you’ll see Tom Glavine’s picture. Posting a 13-13 last year, the 40-year-old veteran gets by on guile, not power. Aaron Heilman inherits a spot from the departed Kris Benson. Then there’s Steve Trachsel and the question comes to mind, why? Why is this guy still around? But, Omar Minaya is a smart aggressive GM, so he’ll be working the phones.

Just a note from the “God, I’m getting old file:” Ex-White Sox Floyd Bannisters’ son Brian is a Mets pitching prospect. Was it that long ago that Bannister was pitching for the ‘83 South Siders? Oh, well…

The N.Y. Mets have a pretty stout lineup but questions abound regarding the starters. As the White Sox proved last year, the reverse is a better formula. That aside, the Mets will be better and the Wilpon checkbook is always there in case he needs to bring in some a high priced help. However, the fans are believers and they continue to purchase New York Mets tickets at a rapid pace. Even rich men like Fred Wilpon still love the sweet sound of a busy cash register.
