A Night at Citi Field

Is, for Hopper and family, an exercise in ascetical mastery.

But it’s fun nonetheless.

We went last night and watched the Mets lose to the Rockies 2-0. It wasn’t a blowout; the Mets offense just didn’t show up and their pitchers made two mistakes. They threatened in the bottom of the eighth, with Yoenis singling, stealing second, and actually stealing third (though he was called back as the hitter fouled away).

Now I think I’m 1-6 lifetime at Citi Field.

Still, we enjoyed the night. There’s a nice party atmosphere at the park, and the girls had fun. Was hoping the Mets could stop their early season slide (they started out 11-1 but now have lost 5 in a row, being outscored 28-7 in the process). Like to get back to the stadium later in the season, hopefully with the Mets contending. That oughtta be even more fun.

We’ll see ….

The view from our seats (not as bad as it looks)

Yours truly and the Mrs.

The Big Apple that rises every time a Met hits a homer ... alas silent on this night
