And Then They Won

I'm afraid there seems to be a pattern when we go to the ballpark. 

 

My husband is a real Mets fan. So is my son.  It is actually more than a little fun to listen to them watch a game together on the phone hundreds of miles away from each other.  But I digress.

 

What do you think it means that if/when we leave the ballpark before the end of the game, the score takes a direct turn towards our Mets?  It happened again Saturday night.

 

For Bill's birthday, I bought us tickets to opening weekend. [It was fun, and yes, it was cold and wet too.]  It felt great to be back at Citifield and to see the excitement around Juan Soto's first games on the team.

 

The Mets were doing "ok" but not winning and then we left.  As we turned on the radio in the car, we heard the roar of the crowd as the score turned towards the Mets.  And then, they won in an exciting final inning!

 

But we weren't there to see it . . . 

 

Well, I suppose the end result is what counts.

 

Looking forward to being back at the park for our Gotham traditional outing, this year on July 5!

 

Let's Go Mets!

Tough one. I hate leaving early, but sometimes traffic or who you are with, dictates it. I am also very superstitious, so leaving if losing, may be in my best interest.

Leaving early is one of those difficult judgement decisions to make on the spot. So many variables to consider, present company at the game, early part of season, time, score, game flow, inning, weather, parking situation, other games to go to. Do you regret leaving early? It's happened to me. Not happy w the MLB schedule person as the Yankees at Mets game/series has traditionally been in mid-June (Padrini's bday on 6/15) and now over the 4th of July holiday weekend?

I hate leaving early but if I'm freezing & cold I will likely leave as you did. Happy with the outcome & maybe it's good karma for you to leave early f the Mets are losing, lol.
Like Robert, I'm not happy the Mets/Yankees games at Citi will be over the July 4th Holiday....we'll be in Greece & doubt I'll be able to stream the games :(
