ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I believe Anthony Weiner will be the event photographer...
Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 The Giants do this every year. $245 per ticket for 2013, $30 of which is for a game ticket.Got any pictures of the Giants owners laughing?http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/slumberparty_form.jsp

And in those days it probably would have cost around 20 bucks.

Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Those Wilpons are idiots. They could have charged as much as we did. Bwahahahahahaha.
Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 And the Rangers, the White Sox, the Dodgers....Pull your head out of your ass and Google this shit, would you?
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 "Would you jump off a bridge just because all your friends did"?
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 You'd like that. (You and just about everybody else).
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I wasn't making fun of the event, just the sleazy contrived discount pitch.
Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm leaving to go play softball. If anything offends Batmags while I'm out you can send me a text and I'll read it on the bench.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 'Guys' and Mr. Met portraying themselves and the John and Yoko of CitiField as a promo of this upcoming event.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm pitching a tent right now just thinking about how exciting this event sounds.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Bulk discounts. The Mets are the worst.
Guest Mets � Willets Point Guests Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 You've got to consider that with the shape and size of their heads that Mr. & Mrs. Met have terrible sleep apnea. No one is going to get any sleep at this event with their high-decibel snoring.
