so my son & his dad went to the Mets game on Sunday
my son wore his "Rocker Sucks" t-shirt. He got stopped at the gate and was told he had to take the shirt off, that he couldn't wear it into the stadium because someone had already complained about the word "sucks." With all the foul language that gets spouted at these games, I can't believe a shirt that points out what an assh*le John Rocker is would be offensive to anyone...especially after all the nasty garbage Rocker said about Mets fans & New York. So my son's choices were, go buy a new shirt and change (and get ripped off by stadium prices) or leave. He came up with one other option, he turned his t-shirt inside out. I have to say, I'm a little pissed off that they put him through that nonsense.

2. That's a surprise
Sucks is not the most polite word but still it's not of the seven words that can't be said on the air.
BTW, what did they think of Shea Stadium? I saw a Mets game on tv and noticed that they still use an organ. All the other stadiums have upgraded to more modern sound systems but not Shea. Is Shea the only baseball stadium still using an organ?
