first!
ugh. Really?
I know everybody has these fond memories of shea and the old apple, but honestly, compared to the new modern stadiums, Shea and the old apple were dumps. I for one am extremely excited about Citi Field and the new apple. I know it will cost more to watch a game in the new stadium and there are fewer seats than Shea, but it is going to be a much better fan experience at Citi.
Also, the last few years didn’t invoke found memories as the Mets collapsed down the stretch. With the new stadium opening, the Mets can finally close the door on the last 2 years and start fresh in the new park!!!
i’m excited about the new stadium too and can’t wait to go to my first game. i enjoy going to a few games a year, but am i the only one who finds the experience of watching a baseball game on tv a lot more satisfying? when you’re there, you can’t tell balls and strikes, you spend 2 innings a game on line for the bathroom or concessions, you pay 5-10 times the actual value of what you’re buying, and you miss out on the great sny crew, not to mention the replays
Yes and no, at the stadium, you could yell at the players, meet new people, see how fast the ball goes from pitcher to home. Man it looks alot further on tv than in real life. that ball gets up there quick.
you’re definitely right. and i love to go to the park now and again, but the most i would want would be a 15-pack. i like watching the majority of the games on tv
IF all that you are going to take out of Shea stadium is the last few finishes; then I quess you missed what the Shea experiance was about…
Good luck finding happiness
Daaaaaaaaaam, that babys huge..
oh you huge…
woah thats huge.
thanks for the vid
why was there alien sounds in the background. maybe the new apple is really a ufo and is gonna fly away when the first hr is hit in citi.
LOL….
It’s great to see Citifield up close
would it have been great if they built a GIANT top hat. the center field wall extends higher up there i think, what’s the deal with that? is it in play?
its not quite big enough.
maybe the wilpons made the apple so big because they were trying to compensate for a something else?
Are u sugesting Manny or are you saying there apples ..ehhm.. are more like cherries
OR certain body part(s)….
ESPN just reported that Manuel said that during the season any reliever who blows the game will sealed inside the apple until their next appearance.
When asked to comment, Heilman was quoted as saying “I got out just in time, do you think that applies to visiting teams too?, are the mets on our schedule this year?”
Why not shake alou’s hand?
If you really don’t know, it is a hilarious and grotesque story….
I hear posada does the same thing.
OH! I know I know… why won’t they just wear a glove..
Hope the Mets dont choke on it. JKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKKJKJK
This Friday is going reeeeaaaal slow today…
true but the Market is kicking A*ss so now we can sign manny… oh wait i just remembered wilpons never planned on signing him anyway.
SELL THIS TEAM… maybe seinfeld wants to buy it.
Yawn…
yes
• MannyB’s core numbers with the bases empty: .299/.386/.568.
• MannyB’s core numbers with runners in scoring position: .329/.454/.607.
Who’s MannyB and what’s that gotta do with the apple?
YAY!!! Our biggest offseason aquisition has arrived!!!
YEAH!! IT’S NOT LIKE WE GOT A NEW CLOSER OR SETUP MAN, OR SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THAT!
Fail
YAY!!! Today’s silliest post has arrived!
There is an 11-Man March missing you……
Perfect!
that apple woulda gotten a heck of alot more use is manny were on board
that apple woulda gotten a heck of alot more use if manny were on board
that apple woulda gotten a heck of alot more use if manny were on board
Totally agree. It’s not too late yet.
dont know about that
What if the one hold up with Manny coming to the Mets is that he wanted the deal to be a secret until the home opener where he pops out of the apple during player introductions.
they didnt sign manny because there scared he might dent the new apple
this place is gonna be frickin magical haha
dont get your hopes up too much bro
well I hope to see a 30 foot apple pop out of the ground. Looks like the Mets are doing everything possible to make that happen.
This comment thread is for 13 year olds only….clearly i’m in the wrong place…
Adios
Yeah, you better go find the one for 8 year olds so you feel more at home….
I’m not 13.. I’m 14 dang it!!
Wow – clearly must be a long week winding down for some. People have been sniping at each other all day – and even picking on Matt and his posts today.
I think we’re all in heavy baseball withdrawal…..
AWWWWWWWWW that is awesome!!!!!!!! An apple a day…(at the risk of getting kicked off metblog) keeps the [Phillies, tums, marlins, braves, tummyaches] away!
Why would you get kicked off?
weird…
did they install vegas style slot machines in the new stadium, too?
Now we need Steve Jobs to buy the naming rights to the stadium so it’s not called Bail Out Field.
We got an Apple……now we need one more.
the iPark
it looks about as uninspired as the citi field patch.
Who’s going to hit the first homerun at Citi Field?
My money is on Delgado.
who ever leads off for the redsox on Apr 3rd
mmmmmm…looks delicious!
The opposing team.
Looks cool, BTW, does anyone know what they ever decided to do with the old one?
I heard it will be on display on the outside of the stadium, like on the roof or something.
i hope installing the other half of the apple is with citifield budget.
Nah we’ll platoon between an old half of last years apple and an unproven part thats out of its normal spot and hope they does well enough. Even though the back is still available and would be a perfect fit.
Thanks for the video:
THE APPLE LIVES…
The question remains:
DOES THE APPLE FALL FAR FROM THE TREE?
Wow, not too desperate for attention from strangers on an anonymous internet message board are we?
I am glad I am not you, as I am sure anyone else who notices this will be.
Geez, you are a sorry sack of misery.
