THIS NOTE CERTAINLY CONVEYS SINCERITY.

Here’s the email that came in from the Mets yesterday for partial plan holders. I am comforted and, nay, INSPIRED by the confidence and enthusiasm conveyed here. (If there was a sarcasm font, I would have used it.)

Renew Your Tickets
Dear Mets 15-Game Ticket Plan Holder:

Many thanks for your continued support of the Mets. We greatly appreciate your loyalty.(Okay, that’s what the consultant said we had to say.) With the return of our key players (Translation: we aren’t going to sign anyone big so get used to it) and the necessary changes we will make to our roster (like ex-Phillies who begin their career with a move immediately alienating them from the fanbase), we believe we will field a championship-caliber team in 2010. As Ownership (This is the weirdest part of the email to me. Why not say “Fred and Jeff Wilpon”? Otherwise, why not just say Big Brother? Because that’s what it feels like) recently said, we demand and expect better, and you deserve better. (This was the best quote you could get?)
