Great post. I’m (still) in the weird position of having been a Sunday-plan-ticketholder at Shea, yet, due to the geography of living outside DC and having two little kids to occupy my time, still not having set foot at Citi Field. You and Greg and other top bloggers have settled into such an evocative way of describing a game there — settled in the Promenade, paused on the Bridge, etc. — that I more and more want to find a chance to get there and experience it myself!

i was at the game last night and i booed beltran. i didn’t realize it was his first game home at the moment, so i feel kinda guilty in that sense. but at the same time, i feel like he hadn’t been close to healthy out west and was hurting the team, especially on sunday in l.a. so it was just instinct. and booing beltran is not at all like booing piazza. when fans booed piazza i cringed every time

Was more or less behind home plate, so that wasn’t a problem.

It was a nice night in the Promenade. Beats sitting home working. Glad Greg made it there for 14 in a row. How about taking up a collection to send Greg to every home game from here on in? Winning out at Citi is about their only hope. They can postpone the road games and play them if necessary in October while the good teams are busy.

“And why on earth would I want to sit…. in the Promenade….?”

Hi Jason,

Because if you sat in the left field promenade section 525 like we did two weeks ago you would not have been able to see either Beltran’s double down the line or Pagan’s catch on a flyball he over-ran?

Can’t say, as I was getting food. Reaction to his first at-bat was muted.

That was me with the Saturday(+) Plan tickets last year: I only went ’cause they were paid for.

By August, even that wasn’t enough incentive: I ate the last 4 games.

I know the feeling Jason, many times I’ve travelled to watch my soccer/football team purely as I have a season ticket, rather than with a desire to watch them. Some of these times have resulted in happy and exciting games and THAT’S what keeps you going!! I feared for Mets last night, quiet bats and Adam Wainwright….hmmm, it didn’t look good. I do have to query however, why a team SO GOOD at home can turn into such a poor team on the road, unacceptable in my opinion? Anyway, here’s hoping for this to be the start of a streak, we’ve proved in the past we’re capable of it
