Going to the Game 2014

Fman99 Aug 10 2014 09:01 AM

Forgive me for starting anew, I could not find the thread that must have been used at some point this year. Fboy and I will be coming in this coming Saturday, 8/17, for the Mets/Cubs tilt. Haven't bought tickets yet but just got "clearance from the tower" to do so. Anyone who is interested in meeting up at the Citi should shoot me a PM or a FB message, and let me know your contact info so we can knock one back together and talk about our feelings.

Is that Saturday the 16th or Sunday the 17th?

Fman99 Aug 10 2014 12:39 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Sorry, meant to say Saturday 8/16.

I'm probably done for the year, and all without ever trying the Cider stand.

I don't think I can manage next Saturday night's game, but have fun! BTW, there's a Boyz II Men concert after that game, if you or Fboy are interested.

Centerfield Aug 11 2014 06:47 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

We will be there the night before (this Friday) for Ryan's birthday.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 11 2014 07:48 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Will be there Sunday but not Saturday.

Fman99 Aug 12 2014 07:31 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Well I suppose it will just be me and Fboy. Looking at tickets online and I think with "convenience fees" and an inability to choose which side of the field we're on, I may just drive down and buy tickets at a ticket window when we get there. It's not like there won't be a wealth of choices available even on a Saturday, right?

d'Kong76 Aug 12 2014 07:43 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I would think that so long as you don't wear your B ll Men tee shirts you can get a bargain in the parking lots.

themetfairy Aug 18 2014 06:43 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I'll be at today's matinee.

TransMonk Sep 06 2014 07:56 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I'll be in Milwaukee for the Brewers/Cards matchup this evening. Milwaukee finally snapped a bad losing streak last night but now find themselves 3 games back in the Central after leading the race most of the season. They still have five games against the first place Cardinals left, though. This will be my first non-Mets game in a while and my first live meaningful September game in a while.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2014 08:33 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Whom are you rooting for?

TransMonk Sep 06 2014 10:09 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I'll be with 60 Brewers fans at a company outing, so probably Milwaukee (save for Braun). I am looking forward to an exciting game in a divisional race. Mostly, I'm going to try to keep my head in the scorecard and keep my mouth shut. I will be wearing my new 7-Line shirt, though. OE: I do know there will be one other Mets fan there (boyfriend of a co-worker), so I'm sure we will trade some thoughts on the orange and blue.

d'Kong76 Sep 06 2014 10:15 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I saw the tee on fb ... me wanteeee one NOW!!

themetfairy Sep 09 2014 04:14 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I'll be at Wednesday night's finale against the Rockies. Due to calendar craziness, it will likely be my last game of the season. Let me know if any of you would like to say hi.

TransMonk Sep 12 2014 11:30 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I've officially purchased tickets for the Astros/Mets on Friday the 26th at Citi as part of the vacation that wifey and I are taking to NYC. If anyone else is going to be at that game, let me know. I'd love to meet you!

I want to..but..well..baby.

TransMonk Sep 12 2014 12:05 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Ha! No...the free shirt Friday and game is enough for me. We have enough running around to do during our 3 days in NYC.

seawolf17 Sep 12 2014 12:22 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Sweet! I'm holding out hope that Stony Brook grad Nick Tropeano winds up starting one of those three games, in which case I'll try to be there.

sharpie Sep 12 2014 12:29 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I'll be at Monday's game vs. the Mahlins.

bmfc1 Sep 21 2014 12:19 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

My first and last Mets game of '14 will be Tuesday night at MFN park (section 113, row H). I'll have the pleasure of sitting amidst the smug, unknowledgeable, frontrunning MFN fans. Why am I subjecting myself to this? Because I can't go a whole season without at least one Mets game and it's a chance to hang out with a friend and fellow Mets fan.

Vic Sage Sep 22 2014 01:44 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

going to the last game, sun 9/28, Fan Appreciation day. Casey bobblehead!

A Boy Named Seo Sep 24 2014 05:27 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Non-Met stuff, but I'm going to a game tonight. Clinch night for the Dodgers, Kershaw on the bump, and I'm going w/ some tix comped by a uniformed member of... the Giants. Should be cool either way. Go Doyers?

Edgy MD Sep 24 2014 06:56 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Gonna have to explain how you pulled that one off. Please tell me you're not taking up with Sergio Romo again. He always makes you feel so bad about yourself.

Zvon Sep 24 2014 10:44 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

So Im looking for a guy with deGrom hair,...possibly on a bike? 5-1 LA. Dodgers 8th. 11Ks for Kershaw. He's all done. Selig is full of shit. You can't watch every game. I've tried.

Zvon Sep 24 2014 11:21 PM Re: Going to the Game 2014

Dodgers clinch. Randy Newman sings. Celebration looked like one from a bad video game. And, they all get their playoff caps & playoff T-shirts.

No, I'm never letting Romo hurt me again. EVER. My buddy's uncle is Dave Righetti and he hooked us up w/ 4 seats right behind the Giants dugout. We were in Jason Bateman's real estate. Primo seats. Some guy next to me was wearing a 2012 World Series ring (Alexander, I think it said on it), but I never could figure out who he was. He was really stoked to be asked about it. I kept thinking of the 2006 clincher with LoDuca and Wright and their stogies. Felt pretty lucky to have landed this game, and with Kershaw on, even when the Dodgers were down 1-0, the outcome felt foregone. That guy is fuckin unreal. Dodger Stadium rocks when it's full and the people give a shit, btw. Great crowd last night and the celebration after was funnnnnnn. I was such a poseur.

Edgy MD Sep 25 2014 10:43 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

I think you stumbled upon the George Costanza of the Giants, Bret Alexander, travel director, seen here at family day with his wife and son.

themetfairy Sep 25 2014 11:32 AM Re: Going to the Game 2014

That's awesome Seo - I'm glad you had such a cool time!
