It was a great trip. It kinda sucked not being able to keep up on the M's and missing out on almost two weeks of what was going on here but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Just in a nutshell...

-New Jersey sucks

-The ceremonies at Yankee Stadium were beyond awesome

-I can tolerate the people in New York for about three days before I get REALLY pissed at them

-Fenway is still cool even though I fucking hate their team

-The fans at Shea are...different

-Baltimore and DC both have great stadiums but rain + no roof = GAY

-I miss Adam Jones. Talking to him during the game and him remembering me were a couple of the major highlights of the trip

-Philly is alright, nothing too special but still cool to see a different ballpark

-What the hell were the organizers thinking having ceremonies after the game at Shea, just stupid.

Fenway will never not be cool

and I’m gonna miss Shea. I was a weekend ticket package holder there in 2002 and I loved that place – it was a shithole, but it was an entertaining shithole, which was cool.

My dad said it was a shithole back in 69 when he had a similar package.

Even in 2002 it looked like they just sorta gave up on finishing building the place

behind the outfield fence is what looked like a construction zone – half-built wooden things of indeterminate origin, storage for various bits of field equipment, and at least one riding lawn mower. It looked like somebody’s garage. Oddly refreshing in a day and age when everything’s in a pretty package for TV consumption. And it matched the neighborhood.

How could you be expected to resist?

I'm back to liking midgets too much (Scrappy's comes first, don't worry).

I want to live in America in a year so I can do stuff like this.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

What was the post-game feel at Shea during the ceremony

by Robert on Oct 3, 2008 2:05 PM PDT 0 recs

Since the Mets lost, half the fans just left

the people who remained proceeded to boo the first 5-10 minutes of the ceremony. It was kinda shitty but at the same time it was funny.

Recap

A simple and hilarious recap. This really made me laugh for a while, thank you.

How much cash did you throw down for all the MLB gear?

I see at least $2000 worth. Pretty sweet collection you are accumulating.

After my Adam Jones away jersey gets here

my baseball jersey count will be at 31. Now I have a newfound love for the onfield thermabase jackets, Im so weak.

I envy you.

I try to “collect” jerseys, but my “collection” grows at a rate of about one per year.

I hope you gave Adam Jones a kiss on the mouth from me.

And those are some cool pics, Red!

Great photos

Looks like you had a good trip.
I was in NYC the last weekend, too. Went to the Jets game, though. 6 TD passes by Favre and lots of fumbles by Warner beats seeing the Mets lose. It was stupid to have the ceremony after the game.
Having recently been both to Shea and Yankee stadium, I can see why they’re building new ones. Both places are pretty run down. Giants stadium on the other hand still looks pretty good to me, so I think building this new Meadowlands complex is kind of a waste at this time.
Did you take that picture of the penguins at the New York aquarium?
