Going to the Game 2010...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sunglasses? They should be giving away blinders.

[Guest Kong76]

I got a message on phone yesterday from the Mets that
they want to give me some box seats for free for a game
for being a loyal (paying) fan.

Anyone know if these are like really cool seats I might never
get to sit in or just some schlub seats I can sneak into with
a twenty to the usher after the third inning?

[Gwreck]

They're good. Metropolitan or Field Box. Did they give you a choice of game?

[Guest Kong76]

Yeah, it said to call them and pick a game.

[Gwreck]

The less-desirable the game (Wednesday against the Pirates, for example), the better your tickets but no matter what game you choose they'll be very good. Apparently they are doing this for every (?) partial-plan holder.

I'd recommend, just because it's not something many regularly get the opportunity to do, to check out the Caesar's Club. (second level, behind home plate). Also, peak into the Acela Club. why not right?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Caesar's Club is like a slightly Met-friendly airport lounge/casino lobby. (Nice if you've got a YoungerPooper to calm down midgame, or have a hankering for a carved sandwich in a windless environment.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wow... I just noticed that the rest of the way, the Mets have five road games and 17 home games! That could have given them a hell of an advantage had they been in a pennant race.

true. but pretty for a go-around. The bathrooms have dividers. they have those island-bars on either side. oh, and you can check out the scoreboard control room, which is pretty cool.

Fair enough. We happened to pass by the control room just as the stretch started, and ended up stopping and staring for something like 5 minutes.

Maybe if i do play hooky for Thursday's game I'll stare it for a couple of minutes instead of watching the Pirates. tempting.

[Guest Kong76]

I'm gonna 'Show up at Shea' tomorrow ... football will be
there when I get home!

[metsmarathon]

late breaking news... it looks like i'll be able to get to the game tomorrow, 9/12. miracles do happen! where's everybody sitting?

[Guest The Second Spitter]

That's freaking awesome. Where are you sitting?

on edit: I'm in 514.

[Guest Kong76]

My tix are 430, but hope to be in 138 ... cell # pm'd

[metsmarathon]

nowhere yet. got my eye on section 103, stubhubbing for about $30 i think for row 3.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

I may meet KC at McFaddens at noon for liquid nourishment.

My cell phone number is NickEvansOliverPerez-JoshTholeRustyStaub-NickEvansPedroFelicano.

[metsmarathon]

that sounds like something to aim for.

looks like i'll be in 136 instead.

[Methead]

So, I'm heading to the Bridgeport Bluefish game tomorrow afternoon with the wife and kid. The little guy is almost two years old, and it will be his first baseball game, so I'm pretty excited.

Their opponent will be the Somerset Patriots, so I was checking their roster to see who might be coming through town.

Bill freakin' Pulsipher is on the team.

The Bluefish have Esteban Yan, Antonio Alfonseca, Jorge Julio, and Bartolome Fortunado on the pitching staff. It's gonna be like old-timer's day tomorrow.

Most notable position player with the Fish is former Toronto C/1B prospect Josh Phelps. I wondered what happened to him.

Poor Pulse - what a craptacular fall from grace.

The Bluefish where once great relievers go to die.

[Guest themetfairy]

Looking forward to seeing everyone! MK and I will be in 138.

marathon - will minimm be there?

[metsmarathon]

unfortunately it'll just be me.

we all might be going to the game on the 19th, but we're not terribly sure yet.

[Guest themetfairy]

I sold my tix for the 19th. I have a half marathon in Philly that day.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Can somebody please hit me tomorrow. Real hard. Thank you.

[Guest Kong76]

I'll have to hear the story behind the request first ... but I have
to warn you I still pack a pretty mean wallop with my good arm.

Is this a set plan, or a maybe plan?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Careful. Rusty had a different number for each of his two Met tenures.

"Hey! Eff you, pal. I'm old, not dead."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Just grabbed tickets to the closer. Who else-- besides G-Fafif, no doubt-- is going?

[Guest themetfairy]

The Diamond Knights are attending the closer
