Mets fans sure are behaving badly this season













When I go to a baseball game, the last thing I'd want would be to have a drunken, 300lb. man crushing my spine, but that's exactly what happened to a particularly unlucky lady during the home opener at Shea back in April.

Ellen Massey, a 58-year-old Manhattan lawyer, sued the team, the beer concession, the union that represents the security guards at the ballpark and "John Doe," the unidentified man who toppled on her.

Massey said that on April 9 she was in the second row of the right field upper deck near a "visibly intoxicated" man who was "acting in a rowdy, boisterous and dangerous manner for a long period of time."

Massey has been hospitalized for about two weeks and has had rods and screws put in her back, but she will need another operation according to her lawyer. The man has not been found nor has he been identified yet, which is rather unfortunate.

This isn't the first incident in which a Mets fan acted like a complete dick. You might remember this guy, who pointed a light in the eyes of Tim Hudson and Edgar Renteria. Yeah, that was a great idea....

I hope that Ellen Massey recovers fully (if possible) from her injury and that which ever behemoth caused her this trauma gets rewarded with some substantial time in a federal ass-pounding penitentiary.
