Suggestions For Keeping Fans Interested

Maybe they should do a musical number with the players like one of those Hollywood musicals like Singing in the Rain. Self parody should also be encouraged.

threw this theme party myself once and it was a big hit. a few too many al borlin’s though.

A nightly award for a Mets fan caught doing good at a game. For example, letting the elderly woman sit ahead of you. Or saving someone’s hot dog from falling. The person can win some sort of prize. And then they can run and tell that, homeboy.

Oliver Perez should earn his contract by starting every fifth day (and closing on his rest day). He should be left in to pitch all 9 innings of every game no matter how bad he is as there are some records he could set while he is here (plus if his arm falls off and he winds up on the DL for all of next year everyone wins)

Records that have Oliver Perez written all over them:

Most wild pitches in a game (an easy start – it’s only 6)

Most home runs given up in a game (7, Dickey holds the AL record with 6)

Hit Batsmen (again, only 6)

Most walks in a game (16, surprised he hasn’t already set this; This could also form part of an attempt to give up 3 grand slams in a single inning to the same player)

I can’t find the most earned runs given up by a pitcher in a game, only that 10 is the most anyone has given up whilst still winning. I’m sure Ollie could give up more than 10 (but not win)

I will absolutely, positively do this and think this is the most brilliant Mets-related idea I have heard in a long, long time.

Sweet Jesus this has got to happen.

why would you need to sneak in the devil’s drink?

I’d be happy with just Banner Day

Dress up day

they should do what the Knicks did at the end of last season and have a Fan Appreciation Night. Free hot dogs and beer/soda, and some other cool stuff. That would be awesome.

And go as the night pelfs (er, pelves)

Or turn Ollie into a switch pitcher. Either way.

I gurantee the Mets will sell at least one more ticket than they would have that night.

…I got nothing.

“avoid the backswing”

run the team for a month

I’m telling you all it would send revenue through the roof

Mets could play in lingerie and give the finger to the crowd since that’s what the owners do figuratively every day anyway (not sure the owners do the first thing but certainly they do the second).

It could work.

Might I add a few of my own:

-“Nick Evans Night”: Free admission to all fans who come dressed as a ghost.
-R.A. Dickey-branded dickeys
-“Be Oliver Perez Night”: One lucky fan gets to receive Ollie’s game check for the day, and not pitch at all, just like everyone’s favorite player!

Take turns going 5 rounds with a grizzly bear.

It sounds like a pretty incredible idea for a stadium giveaway, I think. But then, I do enjoy an adult beverage from time to time, so I might be biased here.

I’d love to see Artest in the dugout in Philly
