Here are some photos that I took at the Giants Game last night.
The seats were unbelievably great, but now I'm spoiled. I shouldn't get used to sitting on the field level since the tickets were a complete fluke: we received them as a consolation prize after the office we were going to lease was leased out from under our noses. Fortunately, the office we did get turned out to a better fit. So it was a win/win situation.
Awesome seats, I say. I'd also say that this seemed to spoil me about as much as your good seats spoiled you.

Galarraga is the Man.... Too bad he will retire soon. And BTW - Nice seats and better pics. =)

I am very impressed that you have a category for sports, Mena! Looks like fun.

Claire, it's a default category that ships with TypePad. I try to use them to see if all my posts would fit in one of these categories. Very observant. :)

why are you wearing sweaters and coats in july? oh wait, i forget that it's not 115 degrees everywhere else. *pant* *pant* i would give a lot to be able to wear a sweater or jacket right now.

Mena, what book is that you're reading? It's not Infinite Jest, is it?

Wow! You were one of those people that other people spite. "They can't be bothered by sitting at least 20 feet away from the action..." I need to start looking for an office :P!

I'm not really a fan of sports myself. But then again... no, definitely not a fan.

it took me about 5 years to figure out what is going on when there are these well fed men on the triangular field. I think I get it a little better now. (Well enough to at least attempt to explain it to my European friends...)
Oh and well enough to understand that you had quite excellent seats...
I can see from the last photographs that you also had quite exclusive seats on the train... in New York, after a game, you would be lucky if one of the books fit between you two...
taking pictures?... hmm... not sure how that would work...
(sorry for long comment)...
