What may have seemed like an impossible mission only two weeks ago, came to fruition tonight as the $5,000 funding needed to erect two billboards on Roosevelt Ave. was exceeded with well over a week left to go.
Gary Palumbo, who decided he had had enough of the way Mets ownership has embarrassed and mishandled the team over the years, took a stand and decided he wanted to let the team owners know how he felt.
The actual messages that these billboards will contain has not been made official yet, but the intent is to let ownership know that this team is ready to take their performance to another level. Our young pitchers are armed and ready and it’s time to make some noise. Real noise.
“Mets fans have been patient through this long rebuild process,” he told me tonight. “And now it’s time for ownership to give Sandy Alderson the resources to complete the job and bring a championship back to Flushing, New York.”

I applaud Gary and the over 200 fans who joined him for their conviction, and would also send a message to Pedro Martinez, that true Mets fans never settle. Action is always better than apathy.
Lets Go Mets!
