IGT - Mets @ Yanx 6/14/09 -- aka: 'The Condom Game'

[Guest Kong76]

I wouldn't mind being on a lake in Wisconsin drowning a few worms right now.

Game over, hard to decide if this was uglier than Friday for me.

Probably good I was on the road, because if home, I would have been stomping around the house yelling bad things.

We're on kind of an extended family trip -- all the in-laws on my wife's side of the family. Wisconsin is actually beautiful. Went on a cruise up the northern Dells today, toured a cave yesterday and kind of a funky circus museum -- Ringling Bros. was started here. I'm not a circus guy, but this was pretty interactive and fun, kids liked it.

Going to a waterskiiing show tonight.

It's a big touristy area with some strange things. There's a giant upside down White House, and you tour it by walking around on the ceiling. Really.

Freaking Jeter.

What a rubbish game to attend. I was hoping for a pitching duel but those rarely seem to happen. I thought Santana was getting squeezed early and Cora getting jobbed in the third was huge. My seat was in the bleachers but I was obstructed badly by the CF area. Lots of Mets fans there and we had a good "lets go mets" chant to counter there stupid chant.

I was out and gone from my seat for good by the start of the fourth inning , yeah it sucked that much. I spent the rest of my time walking around and taking a few pictures.

Her is my impression of yankee stadium III , wow it's just not that impressive , it's very big but way to much concrete , waking around the various concourses was nothing special , again lots of concrete where Citi Field has a mix and the concourses look and feel better .

The food court area on the first level is nothing and it's inside set back from the concourse .

The hallway that you keep hearing about? , yeah so it's like walking through a shopping mall , really it's nothing great , I much prefer the look at Citi Field where they have the players all along the front , they have that inside that hallway.

Obviously I am biased but I'm being as honest as I can be here , this stadium is impressive in it's size but the feeling there is just not that pleasurable, not sure if that is the correct word to use but I'll use it.

This game was just painful to watch. I finally gave up after the Mets top of the 6th and decided to finish cleaning up from my daughter's graduation party. Anything seemed better than watching any more of the game.

I thought this was moved to a night game.


Also, rubbish is a good word; I love how metirish talks

I went to the movies about halfway through. It seems I didn't miss a thing.

But for an almost-triple-play, there was nothing remotely worth seeing. You are lucky to have missed it.

The Sunday Mets/Yanks tilt at Citi Field next month was the one they moved.

Sorry for being such a douche in this thread. I suck.

I'd never sit there again.....

I saw a lot of stupid things there today but some of the MFY fans beat all , I saw guys coming towards me wearing " I heart NY " shirts with a picture of Castillo dropping the ball friday night......

Here's a useful travel tip I'd like to share with my fellow CPFers;

Don't look-up Mets scores while on holidays. They may ruin what is potentially a great vacation.
