Going To The Game

[stevejrogers]

Got tickets for Sat June 2nd against the DBacks on the DBack dugout. Maybe I can yell at Randy Johnson for dissproving the notion that he still was a CY Young contender as a Yankee and therefore would be an unstoppable force in the NL, which caused me to pick his over-the-hill ass on my fantasy team!

Don't be too hard on him

Please don't.

Friday night at the house of evil. Looks like it will be Clemens pitching. Ugh.

[stevejrogers]

Going a week from tonight, going to be in the picnic pavillion as part of the Emerald Society of the NYPD's Pipes & Drums band picnic at Shea.

Despite my feelings this morning, next week had better be a STATEMENT WEEK!

Kind of weird though, playing back-to-back series vs the Phillies at home before playing at Citizens Bank Park, but ah well.

[metirish]

Have fun Steve...sounds like a good night.....

btw,what's a Brit like yourself doing at an Emerald gig?

Bloody hell, got Grandparent ties all over the Emerald Isle. 75% Irish, 25% Mexican (Grandpa on my Dad's side, worked as a chef in a Caskills resort in the 20s and met a cute Irish chick who was a waitress, rest as they say...)

There is not a single ounce of England blood in me!

[metirish]

That's good to know Steve.....of course I was taking the piss with you....

??

My schedule says it's the Cardinals in town next week.

[nymr83]

I'm headed out to Shea tonight!

[DocTee]

When is Valadius throwing out the first pitch?

[stevejrogers]

Its probably buried here somewhere, but heading to Chicago tomorrow and will be at Wrigley for the FOX Saturday Afternoon Game of the Week on the 4th.

Depending on my state of mind, internet connections, and my resizing and uploading skills expect pictures either Saturday night or sometime when I get back to New York on Sunday.

If only Glavine could come back on three days rest! Ah well, I'll be watching Maine vs. Lilly. Should be quite a time.

[Guest sharpie]

I assume that Maine will be moved up a day and that Sosa will take the Saturday spot

(on edit): I see from the other thread that someone is coming up to start Saturday so you do get Maine.

[Guest cooby]

Wednesday night, Whatever It's Called Field in Pittsburgh, watch for me!

[bmfc1]

For Edgy and anybody else , let me know if you will be at RFK Friday or Saturday (Saturday is Abraham Lincoln Bobblehead Night). I'll be in 311, row C on Friday, and 318, row 13, Saturday.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm in section M49, Row 2 tonight, wearing a Mr. Met cap.

Actually, Ms. Edgy says she can't find the Mr., so just look for someone in Mets togs in M49, Row 2.

I look like this:



The one on the left.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

The left of the screen or on the left of the guy in the heart shaped ear rings?

I'm gonna get that Simpsonizer working after dinner hell or high water.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I'll be there Tuesday for the Pads if anyone's in the house and wants to meet for a frosty beverage of some type. I'll try and peek back here tomorrow in the day sometime, but I've had no interwebs most of my trip. Peace out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jiggy, I'll be there tonight. (Mezz 12, box 560 B, seat 7 and/or 8). Stop by or post your whereabouts.

[Gwreck]

I'd be happy to have a beer with ya too. Mezz Reserved, Section 12, Row E, Seat 4 (my regular Tue/Fri) seat.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Party in Mezz 12!

If anyone wants to join, I have 1 xtra ticket. They say the rain is supposed to stop.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Mezz 10 boxes tonite. Green Mr. Met shirt

[Guest SI Metman]

A friend dropped field box tickets on me tonight, section 98 (about 14 rows behind third base).

I'll be there in a Wright pinstriped jersey heckling Larry.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I shall pee on your head.

[metsmarathon]

cool. scored some tickets to tonights game from a season ticket holder who cannot go.

wonder if there'll be a game to go to... this rain does not look promising!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wear your FDNY and NYPD caps.

Yeah, really.

This year is the first year since '01 that 9/11 fell on a Tuesday. Makes it doubly unsettling. Couldn't have nmore different weather today though.

[Benjamin Grimm]

When, and how, are they going to stop doing the NYPD and FDNY caps?

You know they're not going to be doing it in 2075, so at some point it's going to stop. I guess they'll do it when they sense that few people will care. As we can tell by the outcry about Channel 7 originally deciding not to televise the reading of the names, that year hasn't arrived yet.

[Gwreck]

Maybe when the memorial opens at the WTC site.

They can wear the caps on 9/11 forever as far as I'm concerned. But they need to stop singing the godawful "God Bless America" NOW!!!

Really, if the Mets chose to do "America the Beautiful" (a *vastly* superior song) instead of "God Bless America," what would happen? How could anybody complain?
