I’m not going to the games this weekend.
Oh, I have tickets (multiple pairs actually) and I posted them all on Stubhub.
Is that wrong?
My experience has been that those games are best enjoyed on a big screen television after a nice day out in the sun.
Something about the subway games brings out the worst in Mets fans. A bunch of drunks looking to fight with the knuckleheads from uptown.
I like going to the games with either Junior or Beloved Daughter (I expect her black jersey to arrive tonight and the smile will outweigh my blog being exposed as fraudulent). I don’t enjoy these games when the “cheering” turns to swearing.
Then let’s consider the financial aspect. I have already sold one pair for triple what I paid. That offsets two other games from my 15 game plan (now a 14 game plan). That’s basic economics.
I am a capatalist who has a nice funding scheme with my Sunday Phillies plan (phi-bos this week, ka-ching). Oh and someone gave me $100 to watch Boston-NYY tonight. All that let’s me do the things I actually care about for free.
However I feel odd not going, at least to the Saturday game.
Sunday 8:05 can rot in hell. That’s one of the first things I will change when I become comissioner of baseball.
That’s my take. Sell em. How about you?
