Going to the Game in 2017

[Guest cooby]

Nite nite

[Fman99]

15 hours, door to door, but well worth the trip. Fgirl's first trip to a major league ballpark (she has seen a few Mets ST games but never a regular season one). Good results and good company. Tough day to beat.

[Guest cooby]

Going on August 19; I hear several others of you will be there. Really hoping they decide to win

[Guest themetfairy]

Perhaps I'll see you there!

[Benjamin Grimm]

This may turn out to be the first season since 2003 that I haven't attended at least one Mets game.

That noon-er on Wed is on my radar. Sunny, 80° and a light wind in Aug!

Yeah, us too. Thinking about taking a vacation day and bringing the kiddos.

I'm going to be there. D-Dad will be hanging out with business associates. Would love to have the chance to chat with you guys instead!

Looks like I can get three in 502 for $30, including fees. Might just do that. I'll let you know.

[Guest themetfairy]

Cool!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Matinee-ing with the campers tomorrow in 330 if anyone is around.

I want to sneak one more game in if only for the sake of picking up an Apple ice cream dish. But thinking 9/10 for fidget spinner might be my only chance.

I got an apple ice cream dish last night. I just figured it was a different shape than the helmet cup but be warned there's like 4 pounds of soft serve in there, and on a warm night that shit will melt much faster than you can eat it, if you can eat it.

I was intending to bring a 3 year old ice cream monster to help.

I guess I want to spend time and money to see my team lose to a team I despise, sit among the dumbest fans in baseball, in a ballpark that is a half-step up from a good AAA ball park: I will be in 119 tonight (behind home, I'll be the guy wearing the spiffy FAFIF shirt) and in 105 tomorrow.

[seawolf17]

Eight of us from my office headed to section 132 on Friday night.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Wife's leaving me tomorrow so I figure instead of sitting around watching
the Jets alone inside I'd go watch the Mets alone outside for my last game
of 2017. deGrom!!

[Guest themetfairy]

At the Citi NOW!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Flying in solo again on Sun... good pitching matchup and I need my magnet!

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

I didn't make it to a Mets game this season. I know they'll be at Fenway next year, but I have to make sure I get to Flushing in 2018 as well.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Me neither. First year since 2003 that I won't have attended at least one Mets game. First year since 2004 that I haven't attended at least one Mets home game.

The season went into the toilet so early this year. The dismal signs began in April and never really let up.

[seawolf17]

And oddly, I went to four games this season, which feels like more than I've gone to in years.

[Ceetar]

I just made it to one, but this was parenthood (And bridge) related more than anything else.

Briefly toyed with going Sunday but I got roughly a billion things to do at home that I should really do.

Got Ceetarette to that one though (even if not Ceetarette2) so she's been to one every full season.

[Guest d'Kong76]

We should have a full-blown CPF game in 2018. Tail-gating, matching shirts and
posters from all over the country/world. And an octagon for fighting!

Yeah, an octagon. For fighting.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You mean like this?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Hahaha, yeah!

[Edgy MD]

Attacked by a giant squid. As if things could get worse for Harvey.

I'd be down for this. Short Center could hang with Lunchpail.

[seawolf17]

This should absolutely happen.

[Edgy MD]

June? I need time to get back into fighting shape.
