Lady GaGa figured out what the rest of us season ticket suckers couldn't: how to successfully upgrade seats at Citi Field.
I have refrained from mentioning Lady GaGa's June 10th Met game visit, mostly because I don't care for her and also because at the night cap of that Thursday double header, Niese threw his one-hitter. What's more important?
But now the most famous Met fan (at least the most funny) has gone on record.
While schmoozing with
Steve Somers the other night, Jerry from Manhattan slammed Ga Ga and by association, the Mets ticket office:
"Oh, she's a jerk. I give the finger [to her]," Seinfeld
told pal Steve Somers, on his WFAN sports talk show.
Seinfeld
had initially wanted to dodge talk about Gaga's un-ladylike act on June
10, when she made a spectacle of herself at Citi Field during a
Mets-Padres game.
But Somers egged him on, pointing out during
Monday night's show: "They didn't escort her out of Citi Field, they
escorted her to your luxury box!"
Seinfeld took the bait and
tore into Gaga with a barrage of put-downs.
"You know, I
changed my mind, you're right," he said. "This woman's a jerk!
"I hate her. I can't believe they put her in my box, which I paid for,"
he said. "You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the
world we're living in now? It's pathetic!"
The outrageous
songstress displayed her inner "fame monster" when Mets employees had
the audacity to escort her to front-row seats.
Gaga, sporting a
gold-studded bra and bikini bottoms, pitched a fit because she was too
close to sports photographers. So she was led to Seinfeld's empty luxury
box, where she flipped the crowd the bird.
Good luck getting that suite fumagated, Jerry.
Seinfeld was great in the booth tonight. He is a true fan. My favorite moment was when the text question of the night asked if Jerry should have helped Keith move.
