After a long winter, baseball finally returns to Shea Stadium, and I was there. Join me through the pics of the day…
So Baby Mets didn’t go to the game. But I can still show you a pic of her in her Mets sweatshirt. She’s ready for her manicure.
Citi Field, under construction. No doubt, there are some hotties working on this. Alas, I was too far away to do any real scoping.
First things first, I was sitting in the Loge section, so my seats were pretty far away.
Reyes, Wright and Beltran all in one pic (albeit standing far away from each other)?! Can I just say that the Mets left side of the infield is my happy place…
This guy was not hot at all. But he painted his head! And I find that funny. What? I’m easy. And I’m writing this, so I get to include the pic.
That little speck down there, in grey and red, is Cole Hamels. I promise. He pitched well, but Philly bullpen and defense let him down. (*snicker. Jim-my Rol-lins!)
Blurry Mets fans celebrate the 7-run eighth inning! Felt good to spank the Phillies, especially after the Rollins error.
But don’t fret, Phillies phans: you get to look at this guy every 5th game:
He’s so hot…
Anyway, I was actually sitting next to a Phillies fan:
(This isn’t her, by the way – I couldn’t very take her picture without a good reason!) She was there with her Mets fan dad, and she was incredibly gracious and sweet. I don’t think she was a real Phillies fan.
All in all, even though I froze my ass off, I had a great time at the Mets home opener. Who wouldn’t? Mets won 11-5, and I saw plenty of hotties in the stands. My dad went with me, so that salted my game, but the eye candy was great. I’m now 2-0 in Mets home openers, and I can’t wait for 2009, when they open at Citi Field.
Ladies... 
she was incredibly gracious and sweet. I don’t think she was a real Phillies fan.
So true! you could insert “flyers”, “eagles”, or “sixers” in there too!
oh yea, and baby metschick = cute
Jim-my Rol-lins!
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, METSCHICK.
Thank you for throwing some photos of my bf on here, though. Soooo hotttt.
OH MY GOD, CUTE BABY!!!! I want one….(eventually).
Clare: I was dying laughing when these guys behind me started yelling: “JIMMY ROLLINS, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!”
And you guys know this is why I tack up pics of Baby Mets. I love sharing the cute.
Citi Field is being done by HOK architects? After working at PNC Park all during the building, I can tell you… there are TONS of hotties that work for HOK.
(No lie. I miss my little friend from that project. )
Man. Now I’m all sad. That was a great friendship. He went on to work on the Wrigley Field re-do, and then the new football stadium in London. I don’t know where he was going after that.
Nicest guy. If anyone knows Ali at HOK, that is my pal.
So BabyMets is pretty much the cutest kid ever. And I don’t even like kids, really. Even I can’t deny she is super cute. She’s an honorary Lady…
Texas Gal: When we design tshirts, I am definitely getting a small one for Baby Mets. She already has a “Future Deadspin Reader” tee and a Che Leitch tee.
LADIES SHIRTS! We must have them…..
Who can draw? Cartoon versions of Ladies lounging around an “office?”
Yeah, I’m Queen Dork… I was runner-up in a statewide cartoonist’s contest in high school and was an editorial cartoonist in college.
Great, I’m one step away from wearing a t-shirt that says “Artists Put Things in Perspective”.
TG, I feel the same way. Hate kids, but baby MC is soo cute! And then you add the pigtails…
I feel so at home here. I hate kids too. Except for mine.
Ladies…UP! All Night? Anyone? My Deadspin broke and I’m sad.
Pete JayHawk: I’m just listening to you on EDSBS. Sexy voice!!
ADORABLE!
I only have a “Che Morrison” Carolina Bobcats alternate road jersey. I feel left out.
… Che, Leitch? You wanted to leave me out?
“wah, wah, wah. . I was in the Loge”
I was in the UPPER DECK!!!
Still awesome though
i laughed so hard at the jim-my-roll-ins chant that i almost fell off the upper deck.
and utley is hot. but he’s no jose reyes.
Kayarcee: I guess I should have just said that pretty much anywhere you sit in Shea is pretty far away. Glad to hear that Citi Field is gonna be a slightly cozier place.
I disagree; the only bad seats are by the foul poles, and even then, I feel like you’re a lot closer to the action than in, say, Yankee Stadium.
(BTW, I usually get tickets in the Loge myself; this was just what was available when wifearcee won the OD 2nd-chance lottery)
I’m gonna miss that semi-circle when it’s gone. I hope they at least still call a level in New Shea the Loge.
