Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Johnny Lunchbucket Jan 03 2019 04:11 PM

Well, we're on again this year. 11 Tuesday games (out of 12, we're skipping the early April Twins game) including the MFYs in July (worst and most expensive seats in the set). The Lunch family also plotting a late June visit... to Wrigley this time. I know I suck for spending $$ on the Mets but I just did. What are your plans for showing up at [CROSSOUT]Shea[/CROSSOUT] chitty? [YOUTUBE]svsIi-zv8qo[/YOUTUBE]

With the move from Queens to Dirty Jerzy id be shocked if i make it to more than 1 game this year. The over/under is probably at 1/2 a game

The Hot Corner Jan 03 2019 06:51 PM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

I want to see the Mets make some meaningful moves before I consider heading to CitiField in 2019. Too far and too expensive, if the Mets are going to make a serious effort to be legitimate contenders to win the division.

Unlikely. Hopefully catch em in Denver or somewhere [CROSSOUT]more fun[/CROSSOUT] less shitty than Phoenix.

You've got a lot of heart. If I recall, you took in a lot of blue Tuesdays last year. Checking the record, though, it looks like they were close to .500 on Tuesdays. You also got a 12-2 Syndergaard blowout, a Wilmer Walkoff, and that 10-strikeout, 8-inning deGrom clinic in September against the Braves when he finally broke through for a win.

Last 2 seasons of Tuesdays were pretty brutal overall. We considered Wednesdays this year but stayed with Tuesday with hopes our luck will change

The now and then visits with bro. It is a two schlep but so what. It's not like i'm handing Fred much coin

Fman99 Jan 04 2019 03:56 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

A single matinee, like we do most years, on a weekday during the summer. Probably the whole Fman gang, as we did in 2018. Early candidates are Thursday July 25th, 12:10 vs SD or Wed Aug 7th 12:10 vs MIA. We often sync up and sit with Kong and/or Metfairy on those trips. One and done.

seawolf17 Jan 04 2019 06:22 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

No current plans, but I'll likely make at least one April trip for work and one summer LI trip to visit the family, so I guess I'm TBD.

All they want to do is have some fun.

LWFS Jan 11 2019 11:05 PM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Kiddie camp commitments and uncertain work schedule make this... tricky. Maybe 2 or 3 games of indeterminate type.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 04 2019 08:32 PM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Looking like a super quick stop-over in late June, but shooting to double my money with the Friday, June 29 / Saturday June 30 back-to-back v. Atlanta. If anyone else might be in da house...

If anyone else might be in da house... Turns out that June weekend is the 86 Anniversary celebration. Good lawd, decent seats are pricey! Is that some kinda gold-tipped, platinum tier weekend or am I just as cheap-assed as the ownership?

Edgy MD Feb 20 2019 09:04 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

I love Randy Niemann as much as the next guy, but shouldn't this season be all about 69x50 promotionally?

A Boy Named Seo Feb 20 2019 09:15 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

[CROSSOUT]it might be for all I know.[/CROSSOUT] It is 69. I read 86 because my 11-year old, 1986 brain wanted it to say that. Tickets still expensive!

batmagadanleadoff Feb 20 2019 09:32 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

I'm sorta shocked that the cheapass #lol Wilpons are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Mets, being that there was a 40th anniversary celebration. This must be a total financial calculation, with the Pons counting on some sellouts. Can't be sentimental based.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 20 2019 09:38 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

They're probably sending a bill to the Payson family. After all, it was their championship.

cal sharpie Feb 20 2019 09:48 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Only made it to one game last year. I'll make at least that maybe one or two more depending on how they're doing/getting someone to go with me/my mood that day.

dgwphotography Feb 20 2019 11:17 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Taking (not so)little DGW July 7th. May visit her Easter Sunday in MD and catch a game at Camden Yards, and thinking about catching a game with her in Toronto in September...

seawolf17 Mar 01 2019 08:36 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Looks like a very real possibility that I'll be in town with nothing to do on April 9. Is that part of your Tuesday plan? Does anyone have an extra ticket? (If not, they're running a $5 special right now.) (edit: You say you're skipping that game in your original post.)

kcmets Mar 01 2019 09:03 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

I'd like to take in a Tues game sometime during the summer with the bucketclub; preferably one with a Bernie Sanders appearance haha. Keep me in mind!

Centerfield Mar 26 2019 11:32 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Anyone going to be in Washington this weekend? The Fields are making a last minute trip to DC to catch Game 2. Per the recommendations here: http://www.thecranepool.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=25972 I'll drink a DB beer and not care in particular about the food.

At a star-studded gala, the Tuesday Night Mets Club presented JD Davis with the honor of being named the Tuesday Night Mets MVP, while Zack Wheeler coasted to the Tuesday Night Cy Young award. Davis strafed the Mets Tuesday Night home opponents for a .542 batting average, 2 home runs and 6 RBI. His highlights included a dramatic opposite field 3-run Homer off Wander Suero of the Nationals May 21 keying an unforgettable come-from-behind-then-blow-then-walkoff 6-5 victory. Davis narrowly defeated teammate Wilson Ramos for Tuesday Terrific news. The portly catcher also smashed two Tuesday Taters and drove in 6 runs while hitting .310. Pete Alonso also drew some votes for delivering 4 round trippers including his Met-record tying 41st, and 7 RBIs on Tuesdays, although his batting average was just .166. Finally generating some votes was Robinson Cano, who turned in the Mets' best single-game Tuesday Night of the year with 3 bombs and 5 RBI vs San Diego July 23. The Tuesday Night Mets Pitcher of the Year was Zach Wheeler, who went 3-0 with 2 no-decisions in 5 Tuesday Night home starts. The Mets won all the TN games he started. Wheeler on Tuesdays fired 35.1 innings, striking out 37, and posted a 1.52 ERA. His highlights included scoreless outings over Philly and Miami, and whiffing 8 MFYs in 6.1 innings July 2. The 2019 Tuesday Night Mets are noted for their remarkable 9-2 record, excluding the first home Tuesday of the year, for which the Club did not purchase tickets. That is by far the best Tuesday Night record in the 4 year history of the gathering. Both players are rumored to be immortalized on Typewriter Chewing Gum special inserts.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 29 2019 11:32 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

...a Typewriter Chewing Gum spokesman would not immediately confirm the rumors

batmagadanleadoff Sep 29 2019 12:19 PM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Ah, what the hell? If I'm gonna be working on these cards for a coupl'a more months, at least, what's two more cards? Plus, now I've got the I Give Up thread all to myself.

Edgy MD Sep 29 2019 03:42 PM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

Tuesday Night Mets Club also needs to a award a bullpenner and a benchie. Frazier also has to get some Tuesday love for his grand slam in his second game of the season.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 30 2019 08:17 AM Re: Tuesday Night Mets Club 2019

They do but we have to revisit the scorebook. Already the quants are complaining that Wheeler got jobbed for the MVP, as we overlooked a Tuesday Night Home Run in addition to his Tuesday Mound dominance
