It's because of all the free t-shirts they wear. Sickening stuff.<br/><br/>2)Mr. Met is further proof that the Mets suck no matter what place they are in (see Florida Marlins and other assorted ahistorical organizations).

That's both hands full. Out came Thunder (a great mascot, discuss) and started shooting shirts.....or maybe HUGE sling-shooting them. Can't remember. Whatever, not the point.<br/><br/>We being in the nose bleeds, didn't really think they could get a crappy cotton T that high up, so we are just munching and talking. WRONG. Incoming shirt. And it's really coming. Fast. And straight at us.<br/><br/>Well like I said, I've got two full hands, so I calmly put my nachos down on the ground (yuck) and holding beer in one hand (cause putting down beer in this situation is just going too far) I reach up without standing, and somehow the rolled up T comes right on through the throng of standing jumping swinging flailing uber-uncoordinated monkeys all around me, and lands securely in my non beer hand. <br/><br/>No sweat.<br/><br/>Not sure what I did with that T. Probably gave it to some kid who it wouldn't fit, but who then looked at me like a total hero. <br/><br/>Bragging achieved. Good night.
