NEW YORK -- Night after night, the Mets are drawing sizable crowds to Citi Field. Tens of thousands have come out to support the new-look home team, clapping and screaming and cheering and -- on this night -- booing.
As Bobby Parnell walked off the field in the 10th inning Friday, having given up the go-ahead run in a 3-2 loss to the Pirates, pockets of fans around the park cupped their hands around their mouths, forcing Parnell to deflect their jeers as best he could.
"I also saw a lot of fans clapping me on," he said.
