IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

Centerfield Apr 23 2011 06:19 PM

Old guy with the brooms itching to make his 2011 debut. Let's not let him down. Who knows how much time he's got left.

Great to see Beltran playing every day.

I like Murphy batting second.

David Wright's 1st inning Ka-Boom! gives the Mets a 2-0 lead!

A 4-run 3rd inning, capped off by Jason Pridie's 3-run Ka-Boom!, gives the Mets a 6-0 lead on this beautiful day :)

Who is this good team playing the Diamondbacks at Citi Field this weekend and where did the Mets go?

Kong76 Apr 24 2011 01:10 PM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

Murph flashin' some leather and arm going into the stretch.

Nice production job by SNY having the crowd mics on louder than Kevin, Gary, and Ron during the said stretch.

Where is that old guy with the brooms? I have missed him so!

bmfc1 Apr 24 2011 02:02 PM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

Outstanding! I heard on the PA that there's a player of the game and they gave it to Wright. He hit 2 HRs but he must have "won" this a million times and how many times will Jason Pridie be a candidate?

No offense to Pridie, but Wright really brought it today.

TMF--It would have been nice to throw the kid a bone on a milestone day for him.

bmfc1 wrote: TMF--It would have been nice to throw the kid a bone on a milestone day for him. I know what you're saying, but I disagree. The kid had a really sweet home run, no doubt. But Wright was a machine today. FWIW, if anyone would truly appreciate the honor despite receiving it multiple times, I'm sure that it's Wright.

bmfc1 Apr 24 2011 02:45 PM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

Either way, it's an award that I didn't know that they bestowed and as long as the Mets win, I'm happy.

Great game. Wish we could play the Diamondbacks every week. I will enthusiastically endorse the "Mex Burger" at the "Keith's Grill" stand in left field. Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Chipotle Aioli, Bacon and Guacamole. Served with chips and -- this is the funniest part -- a tootsie roll pop. Excellent food and marketing.

Forget the outfield walls, the single dumbest thing about Citi Field is that they haven't put a second Shake Shack location in the park. It boggles the mind that they saw fit to put in a second Blue Smoke and a second Box Frites location yet there remains only one Shake Shack.

Edgy DC Apr 25 2011 11:27 AM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

That may be the Shake Shackers' choice. Meanwhle, that burger in that perspective looks like a beast in a horror film.

That picture is actually taken from BJ's Clubhouse. The difference is probably wait time. I waited for ~20-30 minutes on the Shake Shack line..at 6:15..on Friday for a burger. Once they get things down at Keith's hopefully it's a quick line. (I waited 20 minutes for that on Wednesday in the third inning) Of course, there are better viewing angles of TVs at Shake Shack, versus Keith's being tucked in a corner with no great viewing angles.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 25 2011 12:11 PM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

What, exactly, goes on in the BJ's clubhouse?

It doesn't appear the B.J.'s deal is exactly sucking in fans...I mean blowing people away...I mean humming along with all seats filled. That is to say, except on Opening Day, I've noticed it's about as empty as everywhere else in the park. And to my shock and surprise, I walked by Shake Shack around noon on Saturday, while the rain was in abeyance, and there was ZERO line. It was open for business, just not attracting customers. Not that there were many to be had in the vicinity. An hour before game time still usually whips up a line.

If you can pick up weekend-day-game, field-level infield seats-- some with rainproof overhang-- for, say, $15, why would you sit in the uncovered OF for $20? I'm thinking the Shake Shack emptiness was definitely volume-related; by the time we made our way to centerfield on Saturday-- around 1:50 or so-- there was a 10-to-15-minute wait.

Ceetar Apr 25 2011 12:29 PM Re: IGT - 4/24/11 DBacks at Mets

Wednesday night. Clubhouse is the last two sections of the middle level. Of course, this was a wednesday in April, not exactly prime time for whatever the target audience is. I think Prom reserved (the upper section in the picture) is cheaper.
