Yet Another Reason the Mets Are a Complete Joke
You know things are going bad when the best that can be said about you is that, in spite of everything, you're still not as bad as the Knicks. But the news in this morning's Post about a creaky Citi Field is really just the cherry on top of an altogether miserable season.
Courtesy of Post scribe James Fanelli, we now know that "shiny" Citi Field has a nickname at the organizational water cooler: "Shitty Field -- that's what we call it," reports a team insider.
That's not Nails or some pissed off fan in the blogosphere talking, it's a TEAM INSIDER. As in, people involved with the organization call it Shitty Field.
In case it's not clear to Mets brass (which I know is reading this post), let's turn it over to Urban Dictionary for a definition of Shitty Field (which uses "Shiti" as it's spelling of choice):
"In 2009, the New York Mets baseball club opened up a new stadium. Due to the poor quality of the design and the fact that the Mets are known for being a second rate team that chokes every year to the Phillies or any other team, the stadium was named Shiti Field. The idea is to reflect this shiti nature of the team."
Wow.
Well, why shouldn't people call it that? Signs falling in the field-level promenade during an off-day? Clogged drains in the Mo's Zone? Air conditioning and heating in the maintenance crew's locker room that hasn't work since DAY ONE? The fact that there's ONLY ONE electrical socket in the team's laundry room so they have to use a surge protectors?!
It defies belief; how the eff don't they know that they'll need, you know, more than one outlet for all of their washers and driers? This is a brand new ballpark that cost $850 million to build. But forget that -- you don't need a great contractor for some of this stuff, all you need is common sense. How is this possible?
Who in this organization is responsible for quality control?
What a bunch of jokers. Tone deaf, completely out of touch, and clearly incapable of recognizing flaws, both on and off the field.
Saddle up, everyone. It can get worse. It does each day.
Happy Labor Day!

Might be time to pull the David Wright commercial about what a great job the unionized workers did building this dump.
-Nails (can't ID myself when commenting from my bberry)
great point nails.
who is/was the supervisor for all of this dumb shit?
This happens to all the new stadiums except none of the teams play in a big market while sucking so badly. These are minor problems that can easily be fixed.
Don't knock the Union workers, knock monopoly HOK who have gotten away with this shit while simultaneously making a once novel concept of turn back the clock architecture in something cookie cutter.
