Today the New York Post has a brief item about Mets fans who were expecting a 10% cut in ticket prices, but are seeing reductions that are basically a rounding error. Bart Hubbach and Jeremy Olshan quote the ever-reliable Dave Howard, who defends the apparent discrepancy as follows: "It's very consistent with what we said in the beginning. Obviously, the 'average' means there is some higher and some lower, but the average is 10 percent. We haven't heard outrage about this." ... To help Dave
