The Fans

So...
Went to CitiField last night for the Mets first home playoff game at this new (sort of) stadium. Big crowd, big noise, everybody hatin' Utley. Not too many Dodgers fans by my count.

Some notes:

  • You better know how to get out of this place when it's packed or you sit in traffic like you wouldn't believe. I have an escape lot I park in for just this event.
  • MLB scheduled the game for 8:37 start (which turned into after 8:40). That is rough. Game was over around 12:30AM. Got home around 1:20AM.
  • Cespedes is a monster. His HR in the 4th inning looked like it was shot out of a rocket launcher. Crawford never moved.
  • Harvey didn't have his best stuff but he gutted out 5 innings. Good job there.
  • Team played great, just what the doctor ordered after the slide over the weekend. Maybe that's the best revenge.
