Yesterday was my first attendance at the ball of base. It was Shea Stadium's last opening day - CitiField is next door and already looking pretty good, and much better than old Shea - I'd not thought about it much before, but it really does seem shabby in comparison.
But then the Mets.... sigh. Let's hope they do something worthy of filling such a stadium (WITH SHAKE SHACK!). Yesterday was not a good start, really - very little hitting, getting on base or hustling at bat; and the bullpen looks disastrous. So disappointing. I've seen them win twice or thrice, at most, live, in the four years I've been going. I'm clearly bad luck. So Friday doesn't bode well for them mets, either.
Still, there's something about being outside all day, beer, yelling, cheering, and hundreds of peanuts - even if it is an outrageous $8 for fricking budweiser. And going for an awesome, very highly rated bacon cheeseburger on the way home... Next time - pollo mesoaméricano...
