Going to the Game 2012

[seawolf17]

My trip to Chicago this year falls at the All-Star Break; was hoping to hit a game, but I guess not.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'll be there tonight!

[seawolf17]

Stony Brook IN THE HOUSE tonight. Doing the pregame routine, plus Coach Senk is throwing out the first pitch.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED SOME OF THESE FRICKIN' GUYS, METS.

Kicking the tires on Friday August 10th, Braves @ Mets, Fboy's first night game. Anyone else planning on that one? Fwife gave me a two ticket voucher for a Friday night game as a Father's Day gift and this one best fits my schedule.

too far out for me to tell.

I know I'm going July 20th for Daughtry *that's a band right?* and probably July 3rd for fireworks night. Maybe July 23rd for Star Wars night.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Our next game is against these Cubs July 8. Lunchpail will run the bases afterward.

That's a rough weekend for me. Not impossible, but for now I can't commit to it.

But let me know if you want to be there August 8th instead - we'll be at that one for MK's birthday.

Meanwhile, D-Dad and I will be at Fireworks Night next Tuesday.

[Fman99]

Locked in, two upper deck seats for Fboy and I for Friday 8/10 vs. Atlanta. Fboy's first MLB night game.

I took my son to a night game at Fenway last year and we stayed to the end. It was very cute as he went from being all pumped up and talking 100 mph to immediately falling asleep on the bus ride home.

Fireworks AND you can get this shirt? Tuesday!

Now THAT'S a shirt. Love it!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I should totally get that shirt. I can wear it to work the next time they have a "Phillies Spirit Day". (And yes, they do that.)

[Ceetar]

really sucks that it's sold out. booo being sold out. it's wrong to mug a random Mets fan on Tuesday right?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Gonna finally make it to Citi in July. We're prob just take in the Sunday game vs LA. Any of yall gonna be there & would like to grab a beer, post here or PM/email/tweet/myspace/friendster me & we'll line somethin up.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Thanks to a YoungerPooper-godmother gift, it seems July 8th will mark our Citi debut this year.

I can't make the Sunday game, but I'll be at the Saturday game. Let me know if you decide to attend Edgardo Alfonzo Bobblehead Day instead.

We'll be at that one too, trying to make up for a rained-out run-the-bases outing 2 years ago.

Seo-y, will be in touch about getting out there when you're there.

Doubtful, but will shout at ya for sure if we do make it.

Sounds good. We'll be in your hood at least one day to explore and catch a show.

[Fman99]

I am a dipshit. Bought tickets mistakenly for Saturday August 11th instead of Friday August 10th. Will have to call the Mets ticket office tomorrow to see if they will swap these seats out.

[Fman99]

Ugh. The Mets ticket office stinks. Besides the fact that they could just void my tickets and put them back into the system, they have a "no refunds or exchanges" policy in all games that are not rainouts. The guy delivering this news did it in super-douchy fashion, to boot.

So I have 2 seats to sell for the Saturday August 11th 7 PM Mets/Braves tilt, section 509. I paid $92 including fees but will sell the pair for face value, $80, to anyone here that is interested. PM me if so. I will be buying tickets for the Friday 8/10 game instead.

[HahnSolo]

Looks like I'll be going on Sunday with soon-to-be-teen-girl Solo. I believe we have Caesar's Gold seats, though I don't have the physical tix in my hands just yet to know exactly where.

Those going for the Mr. Met Dash, enjoy. We did it a few years back and the kids loved it.

Actually, it seems I misheard: our game's today. So, no baserunning... but, hey-- free stick!

Considering the weather, it might be better if they were giving away a Speed Stick.

[ashie62]

Be sweaty my friend..

[seawolf17]

Very solid chance that I will find myself at Whatever Nationals Stadium is called on Tuesday night.

If so, seawolf17, then please stop by section 113, row S, 15-17.

[Ceetar]

Be there Friday for Daughtry! woo Daughtry! (what do they sing again?)

and next Monday for Star Wars Stand Up to Cancer night. free t-shirt, collectible truck (which the wife is already grumbling about taking up space in the apartment) and seats in the Big Apple section, where I've never sat before.



hmm, you music people.. Would my enjoyment of a concert be bolstered by downloading/listening to any of these songs before hand, or going in cold?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd suggest you download some earplugs.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I spent about 1/3 of last weekend's game spitballing back and forth with my cousin and her husband about what kind of person is a fan of Daughtry. Not smirkily, either-- I just can't picture what the hell the market is. Is it the wife of the guy who's really into Nickelback? Is it that guy's husky stepdaughter? Her awkward-but-chipper boyfriend, who likes occasional light-rocking? Does anyone here know a Daughtry fan?

[Edgy MD]

Folks who make sure to catch Vin Diesel movies on opening night?

People for whom the muscular crunch of high school football was everything?

People who don't rock, are kind of threatened by rock, but need something that rocks on their aerobics playlist?

Massively uncool chicks on the make for recently divorced guys?


And just to be clear, I'm getting conflicting reports on whether this will be Daughtry the dude performiing or Daughtry the band. They're different entities, right?
