Great night at the park in section 426 with Little Solo. Not super cold because the wind wasn't so bad where we were plus we were prepared for the elements. It was however, cold enough to prevent me from posting here during the game. Some observations: - Stopped by the TBS broadcast area in Center just as Sheff, Dusty, and Pedro came out. Sheff had a disgusted "it's too cold for this shit" look on his face, Pedro is God and Dusty God bless him might not be much of a manager but the man is styling' - Musical selections were cool. I liked the homage to the Valentine teams with Who Let the Dogs Out, plus the nod to the '86ers with The Curly Shuffle. - In addition to the birthday song mentioned by Ceetar, looked like the 7 Line Army sang Happy Birthday to Cespedes in either the first or second inning. - Is Arrieta hitting a wall? Heard this morning that he's way, way, way over his previous innings pitched for any season. - I thought Niese and Reed were huge. Clippard too. Hopefully Reed and Clippard have bounced back from their hiccups in the Dodgers series. - I agree with the notion that you keep Duda in the lineup at least one more game and hope he snaps out of it. - Conforto is looking a little uncomfortable in the field. Misplayed that Turner ball in LA, looked shaky on a fly ball that Cespedes cut him off and took last night. Nerves? - Dangerous as the Cub lineup is, their backups/bench guys don't scare you (Coghlan, La Stella, Denorfia; I know Coghlan hit one to the wall). - Only negative was no one with Met connections throwing out the first pitch. I mean I like Jimmy Kimmel, but I could think of a lot of people I'd rather see first. - Shortest concession lines were in left field promenade. Why? the wind there was out of control and it was at least 10 degrees colder in that tunnel than in our seats a mere 50 yards away.
