AP: Going to the Game Thread

[Willets Point]

Not even close.

[soupcan]

Um, I was kidding.

[Guest KC]

We need to get more threads pointed towards Vic's ass.

[Willets Point]

This is the going to the game thread. Does Vic intend to settle his ass into a stadium seat anytime soon?

Howzhtat KC?

Discussion of getting together on 7/8 kinda evaporated after it turned into
a double-header but me and three other cpfr's will be there. Anyone going
and wanting our coordinates let me know via pm or something. If there's
a group, maybe we can all meet for a nectar of the gods or two during
"half-time" or whatever.

Shea has a Starbucks concession?!?!?!?!

It's somewhat last-minute, but I have two extra tickets for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Probably worth nothing that the game has been moved to the national TV game (and an 8:05 start). I unfortunately will be unable to attend (will be seeing the Mariners-As at Safeco that afternoon).

Anyway, they're Upper Box, 738B (third row from the front). Sunday 8/6.

Face Value on the tickets is $29/each. Will happily sell for a CPF discount of $40.

Going Sunday night, hopefully some pics to add to that Offense jpeg file I had going. Have to remove Nady from that piece...Ah well...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I'll be at the game in Philly on Wednesday - will any other Crane Poolers be there?

[Elster88]

Going Sunday.

[Gwreck]

Friday and Sunday, which figures. No Pedro (assuming he's not put on the DL), no '86 celebration.

[stevejrogers]

Will be at the celebration Sat night.

[Guest KC]

I'm going with a group on Saturday, if ya wanna come by and say hello SJR
lmk here and I'll PM our coordinates.

[stevejrogers]

Sure, I'll see what I can do

Sep. 25th - the final regular season home game.

[seawolf17]

We'll be there Saturday night also... section 16, Upper Reserved. (I thought I posted this already, but it might have been during the blackout.) Would love to see everybody.

[soupcan]

Tomorrow night (Friday) with the junior soupcans.

Hmmm, I'm getting a deja vu thing going on here.

That's right, because then I posted this:

Lets see if it's not as funny as it was not funny the first time.

We should try to get a photo of MiniWolf with MiniKnight

[seawolf17]

That would have to be a really tiny picture.

September 16 and 17 in Pittsburgh. I know, they'll have clinched by then but I've wanted to see PNC for a while now and the timing worked out well.

Couple thoughts:

1. Wow, tickets are easy to obtain. Even for sold-out games, like the Saturday one (it's Jack Wilson bobblehead night).

2. The Pirates, like the Mets, have a "ticket exchange" where season ticket holders can sell their extras online through the Pirates website.

Here's the good part: PA law restricts selling them for above face. You pay the Pirates surcharge, but it's not too bad (a % of the ticket price). Enter seats approx. 8 rows behind the Mets dugout.

3. You can get Outback Steakhouse to take to your seat -- and they sell Primanti Bros. sandwiches in the stadium. That alone might be worth the trip.

[Guest cooby]

We were going to go to that Sunday game, now we're not (but not because of Gwreck)

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

You can also sit down at the Outback Steakhouse with seats that overlook the game.

Which raises an interesting question - do you stand for the National Anthem from your dinner table?

Have fun!

[stevejrogers]

Mets vs Dodgers a week from this afternoon.

Love nothing more than to sweep them and stop them from making the postseason!

HAHAHAHAHA!
MWAHAHAHA!

BEAT LA! BEAT LA!

...ehem... Anyone know off hand if Maddux is scheduled that weekend? Love to see that master one more time before he calls it a career

[Gwreck]

Ahem. RMPL.

(He's scheduled for Saturday)

Sept 24th, last home game of the regular season before they give out "fandinis" and ruin the whole thing.

i'm hoping to pass off the wife as a 14-y/o so i can get me a banco popular helmet bank, but i don't htink it'll work.

section 33, mezzanine boxes

[Guest cooby]

What's a fandini?

[metsmarathon]

i think its a mets-themed homer hanky. i fear it could be something even lamer.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I don't know either, so I did an image search.

All I found was this guy:



And four instances of this photo:

[Guest cooby]

Oh, so it's a mystery object?
