In A Mets Themed Pub In Woodside

It's funny sitting in a NY Mets-Themed Pub, but I found one on 61st Street, between Roosevelt and Woodside, Queens. It's also an Irish Pub, w/o the grub, so to speak. As to why I came to this place, I needed to do things for once, from an entirely NYC perspective:

Granted, one Sr Omir Santos, NY Mets Catcher, had homered on Saturday evening, after Red Sox Closer, Jon Papelbon, gave up a pitch, which landed on top of the Green Monster. My wisecrack on that evening, was ''Let's see Santos hit one in Citi Field''. Well, Santos hit one down the left field line, for a solo shot, tying the Mets & Florida Marlins at 1-1. He has excelled unto the point, that 2nd String Catcher, Ramon Castro, was traded to the Chicago White Sox, for a RHP named Lance Broadway, a deal consumated by Mets GM, The Illustrious Sr Omar Minaya, referred to by ''The Omnipotent Q'', as a ''Big, fat idiot and a clueless Putz''(I don't mean JJ, either);

Sr Omir Santos drove in the tying and winning runs. It was in the 11th Inning, when Santos drove Gary Sheffield home on a single;

To those of you in the Boston Area, who, when Fenway Park was sold out, only to seek refuge at Shea Stadium, in the Corona Section of Queens, well, that 58K Stadium is as ''Gone-Goodbye'' as a Mike Piazza Homer. Unless you can buy your tickets online, don't even think of walking up to a ticket line, to get tickets at Citi Field. I went to Citi Field, and found that fact of life to be true. Citi Field's Capacity is 41,800. Someone in '07, wasn't kidding, when the name of ''Stub Hub Field'', became the nickname for Citi Field. On a Friday Evening, as the Mets were to face the FL. Marlins, Citi Field was sold out. This was never the case at Shea Stadium, especially with the Marlins in town, unless it was the final 3 games in the History of Shea Stadium;

The time of the mutipurpose stadium in Major League Baseball, is nearly over. Thankfully, games are returning to places, with ''Field'' & ''Park'', in their names;
