Just to start off here: If I owned the Mets, Friday’s game is postponed in the morning.<\/p>\n
Obviously, they played the game tonight so I would have been wrong. But the forecast had been miserable for three days. The worst of the rain was coming at 7:30. To make fans wait around in miserable weather to see a game which may not happen (especially when the Mets apparently pocket the day of game pocket money to park for no game) is something that’s frustrating every time the Mets do it.<\/p>\n
That said, the game was played, and fans holding tickets got a freebie for another game so good on the Mets for that at least. I understand that the opponent being the Brewers and not a National League East foe who will be here ten more times made it imperative that the Mets get this game in so that they wouldn’t have to play a doubleheader Saturday or Sunday. (I thought August 8th would have been a fine day to make up a baseball game, but I know nothing.)<\/p>\n
