‘Cause it’s not gonna be Count Vikula, we’ll tell you that much!
In normal times, a company with its name on a baseball stadium would be flattered to have the chief executive take part in the opening-day festivities.
But these are not normal times. So do not expect Vikram S. Pandit, Citigroup’s chief executive, to throw out the first pitch at Citi Field when the Mets play their first regular-season game there April 13.
Okay, but will he at least be enjoying himself a Shroom Burger in the stands? NO!
In fact, the company said Pandit and many of his top lieutenants would not be in the park.

You mean besides the fact we already know it’s going to be Tom Seaver?
The Fresh Charles Prince of course.

@6- the question wasn’t who, the question was who SHOULD.
and it’s Ken Lewis.
Dumb question but i’ll answer anyway. Tom Seaver.
You’re welcome and fuck you.
If Citi personnel were there they would be spit on. Not saying its right or wrong just stating the facts.
how about Andrew Madoff…wasn’t his dad friends with Fred Wilpon?
@7- dinosaurs don’t exist!

Mets pitchers are real skinny because they can’t even get their forks over their plates at home.
lets go mets!
I know Jesus is busy this week but he should make time.

Every one of the souls who were shown the door a year ago should get the opportunity to see where all the cost-savings they generated end up- Citi Field-what a sham(e)
@16- no, but your link gave me a better idea for who should be pitching– meredith whitney.
Todd Thomson with MB as his battery mate.
Just have Pandit do, but have the first “ball” be a hand grenade…it would be a visual represention of what he has done to Citi…art nouveau if you will
John Rocker? Danny Tartabull?
Meredith Whitney throws a 98mph heater. She would embarass the Mets like she embarassed Citi
Aaron Heilman or Scott Schowenweis should throw the first pitch.
The ball would still find a way to be knocked out of the park.
Barney Frank voluntered to catch it!
sidd finch, easy.
I like the Rocker idea, 20 . . .

@17 definitely a pitcher not a catcher
@20/25 Agree – John ‘Made in the USA’ Rocker
kenny powers
Ruth madoff? Strawberry’s coke dealer? Or piazza’s boyfriend?
Who cares? It’s the Mets.
aww, do we have a yankee@33, little bitter over gAyROid?
Gov. Patterson……set the tone for Citi, Mets and New York going forward.
@34
A-Rod is a homo and the Mets suck. The Mets have sucked homo balls for 40 years. Don’t even bring up ’86 cause that was 23 years ago.
Are you also a Jets fan? The two teams usually share the same loser fan base.
@32
0-3
Rob Rubin.
He can then do a lap of houour around the stadium in a tiny steam powered clown car running on a furnace full of dollar bills.
Vince Shlomi
@38
rather see Rick Rubin
Kenny Powers
36 should go back for his GED instead of spending the summer watching the yankees come in 3rd again
homo balls? weak
@41 you’re fucking out, I’m fucking in.
…premature ejaculator.
nice math 36..f’n tard
Jamie Dimon
looks like they should have paid CC in cheeseburgers, not dollars…great debut
@46 seriously. The Mets should have him throw out the first pitch.
Yankees will need a bailout
