  1. Some also stay at New St overnight. There are usually 3 or 4 323s or 350s lurking around all night
  2. I won't be renewing my season ticket. Uninspiring match ups. Two games at the dump that is Twickenham. No thanks. Will put the £300 towards going to a real game in the US in September. Doubt I will go to another game unless the Jets are involved and I certainly won't go to another game at Twickenham or when they move to Tottenham
  3. Wasn't it great that he got to play in an FA cup final on his birthday though........oh!
  4. Well done to the Cubbies. Their fans must be in absolute heaven right now. On a personal note I keep up my decent record for watching the WS champions. In the 5 years and 10 games I have watched a baseball game live I have seen the eventual champions 3 times. 2009 Skanks. 2010 Giants and now 2016 Cubs. And in the other two years I have watched at least one play off team. I must be a lucky omen. So MLB teams if you want to guarantee a play off spot and probably a championship pay for me to come and watch you play
  5. In true NY Jets fashion we will be bound to lose to Cleveland
  6. Not sure where you was sitting then but the queues for food and drink were horrendous where I was. Food choice was poor compared to Wembley too. The concourses were very cramped and consequently extremely uncomfortable. Just not a pleasant experience for me at all. Horses for courses as they say!
  7. Back from Twickenham. Poor game. Horrible stadium. Thankfully will never have to go there again. The game next week might be my last game in the UK. Just not enjoying them as much anymore. Today was awful. Idiots to the left of me jokers to the right. At least at Wembley I know the people sitting near as we go to all the games as season ticket holders and most seem to be knowledgable about the game. Today was awful.
  8. Could some kind soul explain the concept of back to back wins please. I don't understand
  9. He hit them balls as hard as he hit his wife
  10. So. This years holiday came around but a little earlier than I usually prefer (I like September) for a US sports trip meaning I only really had baseball as an option. Still three games in the ten days was a reasonable haul. We stayed mainly in Chicago apart from a couple of days up in Milwaukee. First up was Milwaukee v LA Dodgers on Wednesday 29th June. Miller Park is a very nice place to watch a game. Especially on a lovely warm early summer evening. I caught the special bus from downtown to the game as it stopped two mins from my hotel. The game itself was pretty one sided. Milwaukee sprung into a 5-0 in the 2nd and after that apart from a Ryan Braun two run homer in the 7th there wasn't a lot happening. The Dodgers had just two hits all game. So a 7-0 final score and thats the first time I have seen a game where a team gets shut out Nice seats though behind home plate for $55 Next up was a visit to US Cellular Field for WhiteSox v The Evil Empire (NY Yankees) Always nice to see the Yankees get a beating so this was a great game for me to watch. NY took a 2-0 lead in the 2nd but after that it was all WhiteSox as they stormed to an 8-2 win Not much cover here so decided to go high up and under cover and I am glad I did as it was hot and sunny. I liked the stadium. It had a very down to earth feel to it and the Sox fans were enthusiastic and anti Yankees So I liked them! Final a visit to one of the two Holy Grails of baseball. Wrigley Field (Fenway being the other). And in its Centenary year too. You can't go to Wrigley and not take a photo of this So. Wednesday 6th July and Cubs v Reds. Wrigley is fantastic and horrible in equal measure. But the fantastic outweighs the horrible overall. It's old and rickety and cramped but it's one place you have to go as a baseball fan. You can smell the history, and failure, and you know you are in one of the cathedrals of US sport. The game itself ebbed and flowed. Reds went 1-0 up in the first. The Cubs made it 3-1 by the 5th. Then the Reds took over again and ran out 5-3 winners All in all 3 good experiences in different ways. Three new stadiums. Four new teams watched. Much food consumed. Roll on next year!!
  11. Mets become the second team in history to have 13+ walks in a game and score 1 run or less. The other was the Brooklyn Dodgers. In other words. We can't hit for s**t right now
  12. Not an Ice Rink strictly speaking but is this the happiest train ever ?
  13. Cheers Fella My present off the Mrs was my ticket to a Cubs game!
  14. I drove from San Antonio to Dallas last October and saw it from the I35
  15. SNAKE FARM! I only support Villa. Although I also follow New York Mets in baseball and New York Jets in gridiron I do have a soft spot for Bromsgrove Rovers/Sporting too
  16. Nice little series win for The Mets against The Nats. Matz is quietly going about his very efficient business without the hype of DeGrom or Syndergaard
