In an attempt to come out with more posts which are less maintenance
heavy, I'm starting a new category on my blog where I'll just post a
bunch of cool links every few days.

I was able to take the wife to see Game 2 of the Subway Series this Saturday at Shea. It was a real fun game to watch and experience live. Mets won 10 to 7. There were many yankee fans in attendance which made the back and forth chants interesting.

David Wright blasted home runs in first two at bats. Then he was intentionally walked his next 3 batting appearances. Everytime they chose to walk him, the fans chanted: “Yankees Suck! Yankees Suck!” That took the cake for me. I loved it! When the game was over the chants continued while the mass mob was exiting the stadium, on the ramp all you heard was a thunderous echo of a chant which went a little something like this: “Sweep, Sweep, Sweep!”

I overpaid $50 per ticket on stubhub (including commission and shipping) but I think it was well worth it. Thank God the weather complied. Sitting in the upper deck towards the back does have its caveats (a little roof to block out the rain!)

One thing that annoyed was that we had seats in the Non-alcoholic section, but all these people were buying beers from inside and bringing them to our section. May Allah Guide them. Shea should be a little more strict about that. I also had real problems trying to find kosher hot dogs even though their site does say they have them in some select places. Fan services pointed us to section 12 in Mezzanine, but we didn’t find anything there. Can’t wait till the day they have halal hot dogs.

I’ll put some pics up when I get a chance.
