I was worried Gaga wasn't getting enough pub.

And this promotion coincides with Jerry S.'s visit to the booth Wednesday night. The Mets previously apologized for besmirching his suite by sticking the MFYLDB there during the last loss the Mets experienced. Citi Field may have weird angles, but this has nice symmetry.

I've never cared if things were a little "minor league" personally. This seems cool to me, even if I don't really know what I'm going to do with a foam finger..besides of course wear it to Citizen's Bank Park. It's still better than waving (white!) towels during game 7. I'm pretty sure mine is still in whatever corner I threw it when I arrived home.
