Mets

Looks like we'll be up late this weekend. Friday 9:45 first pitch. Saturday 9:07. Monday has yet to be announced, just bought my tickets last night hoping it's a prime-time affair!

Is game 2 on Tuesday?

I was worried about a 4 pm Friday start so other than trying to hit Kershaw in the shadows I am happy with. Didn't want to have to watch game in a bar. Can't throw the remote in a bar

Yes citi games are Monday and Tuesday. Times not announced yet. As far as shadows in LA, their hitters are probably more used to it, so thanfully the late road start negates that

9:45 times sucks but at least it's a friday. ughh. definitely going to be on the couch for that one. Maybe I'll go buy some new pumpkin ales

My guess is citifield times will be 8pm. But it doesntl look like it will be too cold so at least Gman and I won't be freezing our asses off there monday

I froze my butt off at the 2006 playoffs. I plan on dressing like the younger brother from a Christmas story.

I can't believe how fast they are going up. I may take a shot at Tuesday and gamble the series is still going. Pretty big risk with the Mets though.

On Monday either the Mets or Cubs will play an afternoon game.

With TV money making that decision, does it make the Mets vs. Dodgers at night a safe bet?

Cheapest tickets on stubhub for Monday right now will set you back $597.36 for 2 standing room only tix. Why do they have rows and seat numbers on SRO?

monday night standing room only is now about $300 when you factor in fees. My tix with Gman went up almost 120% since we since we bought them saturday

not sure. I wonder how many sro's were sold. I prefer walking and watching from different areas anyway but if my favorite spot on the 3rd base side is open between 3rd and home plate I'm not gonna want to move

From a TV perspective, my money is on the Cubs-Cards being in prime time - huge fan bases and rivalry. 10 years ago the Cubs knocked the Yanks-Red Sox out of prime time.

The conventional wisdom points to NY-LA. We all know NY is a premiere market, but Louisiana is more football oriented.

I cancelled my monday meetings just in case. I can't see a 1pm game but I guess 4 or 5 pm would be possible. I actually would rather have that anyway that way I'm not getting home after midnight

Because of logistics, I had to wait till the dust settled on if I'd be able to go with my son or not, or who I would go with. If it is an afternoon game, he may come home and I'll pay whatever - it's already insane - INSANE - but at least I've been to half a dozen games this year already and was on board way before the masses because of the great young pitching (and absolutely horrendous hitting). If it's a Monday night game I don't want him to miss a day of school to travel back on Tuesday. Kind of bummed because his introduction to MLB was he and I getting season tickets when he was 9 for the 2006 season and going to all the playoff games with him.

Note of caution: If anybody is pulling their school age kids out of school to go to a playoff game, please be advised that giving the reason that you have baseball tix is not an acceptable answer. Just wink and tell them your kid isn't feeling well - the principal will know and won't make a fuss.

If you tell the teacher you are a met fan I'm pretty sure they will show mercy for all the suffering the kid has gone through
