City in the Boroughs - Queens Edition

[mgarbowski]

One more note: PV wasn't familiar with the term suicide drills and had to have it explained. God only knows what he thought she was asking about at first.

Also the iPhone autocomplete won't finish the word suicide even when you spot it the s, u, i, c, i, and d.

So the response to that match on Saturday was 5 player training update videos and one from Vieira. That's a shitty job. How about an email with a letter from Claudio or Vieira? That's slightly better.

This is just a matter of personal preference, but it doesn't really matter to me. All I really want is for them to come out and play well Sunday, convince me that it was just an unfortunately timed blip and restore some of the optimism that was so pervasive last week. If they do that, I'm good. If they come out and are terrible again, have lapses on set pieces, etc, then I don't really care about apologies and all that.

I was there. I didn't ask any questions cause the $4 Samuel Adams and the Pulled Pork Sliders kept my mouth busy. Good stuff Keith Putnam

I agree with this. You really don't want to turn it into something bigger than it already is. It sucked. They got smoked. It was rough on the team and rough on the fans. They apologized, whether forced or facilitated or not. I feel like, at this point, some greater gesture comes off as trolling ourselves. A perfect apology for me would be an impassioned, spirited win on Sunday.

This is exactly correct. The game was terrible, but how the season turns out is more important. I liked the apologies, and I think it was important to do, but the best thing everyone can do is put it behind them and do better next time - and that includes the fans, who didn't have such a good day either.

I think for most people at the event last night that response seemed completely appropriate, largely because the event last night was very good. Of course that covers maybe 0.5% of STH. But even with that understanding, I do think it is a fair approach to let the sporting side respond to sporting side failures. That's especially true for a one game problem. If we go years without making the playoffs or some such, then I could see expecting the FO to make a statement.

That's Orlando though...

Did I forget to mention that we all spontaneously performed this at the end of the proceedings? PV has a surprisingly good singing voice and PM and JP were especially impressive dancers.

If you can see past the giant head in the foreground, I'm the guy in the white shirt mid-deep center/right.

ask them what the hell am I to do with my citizens points if all you offer is neon socks and ugly ass shirts. Would it kill them to offer an authentic jersey on there once and a while?! i mean shit if a $30 scarf comes up once in a blue moon for 1500 pts, then surely they could offer a jersey for 6,500 pts +/- 500.

Agree - What the he...ck I would want old used shoes( possibly smelly ) or whatever they are called... oh yes cleats? I will not use my points for that.

How disappointing!
Gene , Keith Putnam , mgarbowski, thanks for the great reports and to all who contributed to the great questions too

Invites for the 2017 edition went out last week -- and were fist posted in the Manhattan version thread -- but I'm reviving this to note that this year the panel in Queens will feature Vieira, Patricof, and Rodney Wallace. The confirmation email just arrived.

I RSVP'd but didn't get a reply, guess I'll be going to the Mets game instead.
