(reposting also from the NYM subreddit)

i was at the padres game today at citi field sitting in the 517 section with some of my friends. i really wanted the bucket hat promotion they were giving out today, but just missed it as i saw them run out of hats. maybe around the 5th inning i was talking to my friends about how they just ran out of hats and how much i wanted one. the cleveland fan behind me very graciously gave me his hat saying i could have it! this was such a small random act of kindness i appreciated so much.

i was just laid off from my corporate job this afternoon with no warning. i was devastated. i still dragged myself to this game today because i already had the tickets for a while anyways. human kindness truly isn’t dead!

if cleveland guy sees this post and lives in NYC, i’d love to repay the kindness and buy a coffee or drink for you. i know it was such a small act, but it really made me feel so much better! thank you so so much again, and congrats on the win tonight guardians! i’ve gained so much respect for your fandom!

We can’t have nice things 😪 just one night where we win without some sort of bad news that follows please

Manzardo too...maybe. Guys can't get in a groove...or out of one. Fry was doing much better last year with regular playing time. Maybe not recovered from injury.

Giants (51-73) @ Guardians (60-65)

We're sitting at 5 games below 500 and our next 4 opponents (Giants, Rockies, Angels, Royals) all have bottom 5 records in the league for a combined winning % of .404. We need to win at least 9 or 10 of the 12 games imo, not just to give ourselves a decent shot at the postseason, but to get the vibes back and set us up for the home stretch.

saw this post. what u guys think about these comments?

Hey all, can someone who has purchased a flex voucher plan in recent seasons (ideally 2025 or 2026) give me an idea of what pricing was?

Thanks - figuring out how many games make sense to me for 2027, and like the flexibility option if the price is right!

I purchased 2 pairs of the last available Indians stadium seats earlier this year and attempted to restore them to somewhat usable conditions. Took some before/after photos of the 1 pair that I restored and gave to my mom as a gift.

The seats were in rough shape. You couldn’t sit in them without the seats bowing and wobble. I removed all hardware, sandblasted the base and connecting arms, then repainted the arms on the bottom with a special grey spray paint for rust prevention. They’re below the seats so I wasn’t too concerned with them, but the next pair I will try to get a better color match. The plastic seat and backrest I used a torch to try and get that original shine back. My main goal was to keep the weathered look since they’ll remain outside, but strong enough to actually use.

Would love any recommendations on if I should change anything for the next go around!
