Last game at Shea?  I hope not, and I am sure many other fans feel the same way.  Well, here we go again, one game left and a must win (if the Brewers win).  I could not help feeling a bit like last year, hoping a lefty can pull you through.  We have another chance, a second chance, one that does not happen so often.  The ability to officially forget about last year by beating the team that crushed Mets hearts.  Just win boys, just win.  Ollie, you will certainly earn a new contract today.  Come out and pitch a "Johanesque" game, and the city will love you and organization will reward it.  Come out and pitch like that fool Tom Glavine, and you may as well have pitched your last game in New York. 

So many emotions are hitting me as I think of Shea stadium.  As I wrote before opening day, I fell in love with baseball at this stadium.  I have fond memories of my father, watching superstars.  This is where I got my first autograph.  This is where I got my first Major League baseball.  This is where I saw my first home run and first complete game shutout.  This is where I felt a stadium bounce it was rocking so hard and it is also where I felt like someone ripped my heart out.  This stadium may not have the history or success that a crosstown stadium has, but, this is my stadium, it has my memories, it has my success.  I will absolutely miss Shea Stadium.  As I see the new CitiField looking over Shea, I hope Shea Stadium has a few more tricks, and games, up her sleeve. 

I will be sad to "Shea Goodbye", but hopefully we can save the emotion for another day. 

Let's Go Mets, Ya Gotta Believe!
