GMR Field Trip
The Mets have a scoreboard problem. They start playing the “Let’s Go Met’s” chant before their first batter even gets into the box, which leads to the inevitable scoreboard prompt burnout by the 5th inning. I say, only sounds until at least the 4th.
There was some pretty great banter back and forth between the Met’s and Giants fans during the game. And it went back and forth pretty well, through our bases loaded pop-outs, and through their bases loaded double play. Organic “Let’s Go Giants” Chants were squashed by thunderous boos but Giants fans definitely grabbed a foothold in Citi field tonight.

I’m just gonna post pictures and give a couple of my thoughts. But first…..
Stock watch
Rising stock:
Schierholtz, Fontenot, Lopez, and Huff (a little bit).
Falling stock:
Tejada (majorly), Burriss, Ross, and Vogelsong (sorry buddy)

If you read this blog you know that I am a Fontenot fan. He just embodies the underdog thing. He had an important hit tonight and played solid defense at SS.
Mets fan definitely remember Mota, and they don’t like him. Note to self: look up what Mota ever did to Mets fans.
The AAA crew. Ford, Burriss, and Rohlinger, chumming it up on the fence.
Just showing again how short Fontenot really is. Sure the angle distorts the view a little bit, but not much.
Stretching it out.
Burrell and Huff were chatting the whole afternoon before the game. There was not a lot of smiles going around. In fact the only one acting loose was Bochy who played catch with Ross for a while. Lots of focused looks on the Giants before the game.
Henry Schulman in the wild. zoiks!
The only action shot I took all night. I was in foul ball territory and I got about 4 that were hit in about a 30 foot radius, so I couldn’t be holding the camera the whole time.
Constant coverage!
