2011 McC Night at the Yard is in the books (post your pics)

PrintPretty eventful night! Even though they mounted a valiant comeback and tied the game, the Giants weren't able to pull out a win.
As per tradition, the evening started at Zeke's, where, as Kruk would say, "we got greased up". About a half hour before game time, we made the slow ceremonial procession to the ball park, as per tradition.
We were breaking up to enter the gates and remembered to take a group pic, butt unfortunately not everyone was around to be in it. People from CSN saw our group, handed us a mike and asked us to say something for a commercial. Of course we chose the most ridiculous quote from their list.
Other highlights included jponry getting hit in the face by a ricochet foul ball in the last AB of the game, Sweet Jesus Guzman's bizarre error that covered the predetermined over/under of .5 for Guzman's errors in the game and Goofus personally ending Latos no hit bid. (We were on the visitors dugout and, not more than 20 feet from him I yelled "Hey Latos, you're throwing a no hitter! Just thought you should know." as he came in after the 4th. (Latos laughed and Bud Black turned around and scowled, but Stewie broke it up on the next Giant AB. Mission accomplished!)
Thanks to everyone who joined the fun! Post pics you took and I'll try to do the same as time permits today.

So 11 hours ago from now…. so do the math and you’ll find it in the GDT too? I’m busy or I’d look that up too.
Thanks. No mention of Grant. Seems like the media may be clandestinely supporting the coup.

I walked with jponry from the seats on the dugout...
…to my seats by the pressbox so she and Natto could trade seats halfway through the game. On the way there, we stopped and I introduced jponry to Baggs, hence the tweet. I’m sure if Grant had been there, the mainstream media would have bowed down.

It was great to be there and meet everyone despite the onslaught of plagues and the outcome of the game. I am at the airport, but somewhere I posted a link to a YouTube clip of the famous “Keppinger’s Bat” bit. When I get to Baltimore I will try to repost it here. Finally, I do harbor a great deal of guilt about not diving in front of the rocket that landed on jponry’s face. A true gentleman would have taken it. Oh and Goofus, the ass who ended up with the ball and did not give it to jponry even after seeing that her face was crushed sits on the end of the row on the aisle just a few seats down from yours. Next game, you are free to spit in his garlic fries.

Congrats on the engagement and good luck raising your kids as Giants fans. In Jewish law the kids take the religion of the mother which means yours will be Dodger fans. I trust you will fix that.
Thank you, Goofus, and Shanghaijim for picking up extra tickets for us.
I had a great time, which is odd because I came straight from work and hadn’t been drinking.
But I was only a little uncomfortable, and it was nice to meet everyone.
I’ll have to get in early on the next one.

I live in Ohio, but
I’m going to schedule a trip out next year if you all get the date on the calendar early enough…
We've committed to getting the date picked out earlier next year
We ran into delays trying to deal with the Giants after there seemed to be a lot of people asking for a group ticket thing.
Unless we can get something like the “McCovey Loft” out in RF, I don’t think a group package is ever going to work well.
The thong is, it happened.
When I was looking at StubHub a couple weeks ago, there were a decent chunk of cheapish 10 or 12-ticket packages available. We could probably do something like that next year without having to do a complicated group package.
by Lies and Perfidy on Aug 25, 2011 11:25 AM PDT up reply actions
The only other problem...
….is a fairly sizable portion of the group has season tickets, or at least shares season tickets. Most of those folks prefer to use their own tickets.
The thong is, it happened.
Yeah, I imagine you’d want to keep your own ridiculously awesome seats, for instance. Well, plenty of time to figure it all out.
by Lies and Perfidy on Aug 25, 2011 1:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I think a 10 to 12 ticket package would work. I think there would be enough people to do it.

The other issue is money
Having been burned in a previous similar event from another internet-group, I’m personally hesitant to front money for strangers. There’s a bunch of people here I’d trust without a second thought, but I wouldn’t want to exclude people I didn’t already know in real life.
The thong is, it happened.
no blame for that IMO
it’s not an insignificant amount of money to put up front with ticket prices and the size of the group.
Maybe one of those kickstarter.com kind of things could be used? Or a paypal account?

I’m working with FanGraphs to have a joint meetup at Gordon Biersch soon for an off-day. And it will be a meaningless game, so we won’t even have to care!
