Fancy a Ballgame 2011

I'd like to go to a Mets-Giants game this week, and the weather looks shitty on Wednesday (also Thurs is a matinee nonstarter). Anyone for Tues? StubHub maybe.

if anyone is in miami for any reason this summer hit me up

Possibly! With Gareth as well. We can't just mosey up to the stadium and buy tix anymore?

$15 are the cheap seats for this game. (But you can usually get a better location via S.H.)

is Gareth the vintage-ballplayer?

I don't like tomw night's forecast much right now:

and I bet Citi Field will be infected with "USA" chants early on; I will feel like tearing up seats at the sound of that.

Ha, no John is the vintage-ballplayer. I was just waiting for you to rescind your offer; why do you always break heart?

Seriously, though, it does seem like it might be a bit chilly tomorrow.

no 69 at gametime is not chilly, even there. I really will go Scanners on the jingoism tho.

And StubHub is not functioning on my laptop.

and this was not an OFFER, which can be made only by formal prospectus! I had no idea an event would intervene to remind me why I loathe sports fans.

Dr. M., if you let U.S.A. shouts interfere with your enjoyment of baseball, it's like the terrorists have won all over again.

No worries, though, my British houseguest has no love for, or interest in, baseball.

Now it looks like the rain might stop tomw in time for that game (Lincecum tho)

was gonna go tonight til I realized epic Chinese film I have to review opens Wednesday.
(and I'll be too drunk to write tomw night)

I am strongly considering these games for my Bay Area visit:

Sat 7/2 A's-D'backs @ 6:05 pm
Mon 7/4 Giants-Padres @ 2:05 pm

btw short-season leagues have begun, brooklyn cyclones fans

and the SI Yankees have $20 all-you-can-eat seats (for groups of 10 or more). Proof that Staten Island is the red-state borough?

I want to go to Staten Island and Coney Island games, but it is impossible to arrange anything with you layabouts.

The more in advance, the better for me. Then I can plan around it.

If I finish my Tuesday night film review quickly, thinking abt Mets-A's on Wed night, but there may be a thunderstorm issue too.

At last: the key to hanging out with Dr. M.

Could do Wednesday, but yeah, it looks like the weather might not cooperate.

i am limited to fridays & saturdays for the next three weeks or so, but should be totally available after that.

also i may or may not be able to get us into minor league games for free

Mets-Padres play a getaway matinee on Thurs Aug 11. I am taking a personal day if anyone wants to join me and however many thousand day campers attend.

possibility

Working. Sign me up for any night or weekend games though.

Last call for tomorrow's noontime Mets-Pads finale (Niese v Luebke)

I'm going to a Baseball Prospectus pregame event along w/ the 4pm contest on the 20th. After that, maybe one or two Value games in Sept. Maybe.

how much are value games in sept? it is hard for me to justify spending money but I do want to go to a mets game.

I think the cheapest seats are $12.

I would totally go to a $12 game

maybe we could tie it into the always-talked-about-never-happens fap

pre-Irene Brooklyn Cyclones DH at 5:30 today!

otoh, if I want to go to Monday night's game, will I have to walk? (about an hour n' change)
