Great day at Citi Field

I had a great time at Citi today.  Nice crowd (surprised that it was reported as only 37, 165 since it looked pretty full).

It was an odd day for me since I got their late (real life prevented me from getting there early and snapping 200 pictures of caps) – when you miss the first inning and the time of game is 2:15 the day zips by.

It was nice to see unior wear his custom jersey for the first time (pinless).

Went to the Promenade version of Big Apple Brews for my traditional one beer (you only need one beer at a game, use your disposable income on other items).   This is a nice addition to the upstairs…even if the lady working wasn’t in the best mood.

Hey Mr. Met – do you ever make it upstairs?  Come hang out.

Superthanks to @mrjmf for hooking me up with a bag!   He was following along all afternoon as I whined on twitter that I didn’t get a bag….they were nice, and the bag was a key reason I didn’t stubhub my tickets on a sunny and busy day….so thank you very much sir.

Here’s some interesting numbers from  the official postgame notes:

METS STARTING PITCHERS: Mets starters improved to 10-2 with a 2.33 ERA (28 earned runs/108.2 innings) overtheir last 18 games…The 2.33 ERA is the lowest in the major leagues over this span…In 15 games from May 1st-16th,Mets starting pitchers were 0-6 with a 6.98 ERA (60 earned runs/77.1 innings).

GET AHEAD: After scoring a pair of runs in the bottom of the second inning the Mets improved to 24-10 when they score the first run of the game.

DAVID WRIGHT: Hit his 10th home run of the season, and his second at Citi Field, in the bottom of the third inning…Last year, David hit his ninth and tenth home runs on September 12th in Philadelphia…His 10th home run camein his 466th at-bat last season, this year it came in at-bat number 194.

WRIGHT MILESTONES: His home run in the third inning was the 150th home run of his career…His RBI single inthe fifth inning gave him three for the day and 600 for his career.

I am swearing off jersey buying.  I went in the Mets store and made a large purchase…not a jersey…will share later in the week.  Time for TV watching.
