2019 Schedule Thread

Welp, just submitted the opt out form. Sucks to have to miss playoff games in their best season. This is when it would be nice to have a stadium.

Why are you missing the games? Cause of a location change?

Anyone know thew travel time to Citi from Grand Central on the 7? It's already going to be packed from rush hour -- worse than the 4 -- I'm just trying to figure out the absolute latest I can be on the train next Wednesday.

I'm right there with you, but will be coming from times square. Hopefully the express 7 isnt too bad! Haven't taken it during rush hour traffic before.
 
I had to opt out because I had a conflict on Wednesday. Would be right there otherwise.

Too bad they couldn't keep these on the weekends.

I'm hoping next year they change it to Friday nights. Saturday night is college football. Sunday is the NFL. There are usually no big games on Friday night. And while there is the lack of a TV audience since Friday and Saturday is a terrible TV night since people go out, it would be best for attendees of the match.

MLS, still working out the kinks after 24 seasons.

Even a Thursday would be a vast improvement over a Wednesday, especially in a city like New York. And of course, there’s a potential conflict with the World Series. If the Yankees are in the WS this year, the ratings for the semifinal will be a disaster.
 
Please no Friday, thanks very much :)
Just run the string around the stadium and you’re still good and within the boundary.

What good is the loophole if you can’t go to a sporting event?

thats just to carry. The kid still needs to get there.
 
Pretty exciting way to decide if we’re playing the semis at Citi. Only MLS could turn soccer fans into baseball fans.

Actually since NYCFC, I believe I've only been to two MLB games. Both in LA on trips to see NYCFC on the road. And I hated how long the match too. The non-continuous course of play. Pitch, wait, pitch, wait, pitch, wait. I can't stand the game anymore. The playoffs are watchable due to the intensity of every pitch and the meaning behind it.

Guess I gotta wait until the morning to see if Citi is official......... Just as I type this, game over.

Astros walk off win

I live in Poughkeepsie and can normally take Metro North to the stadium. To drive down to Queens (~1hr45 to 2hrs) mid week during rush hour for a 7pm start is just pretty rough. If it was either not in the middle of the week or at Yankee Stadium I'd definitely be there. Just a bummer.
 
Still hanging on to hope that the Yankees lose in 5 and I can just pick up tickets to the games (since I opted out of my regular seats).

That sucks. Totally understandable. Was just curious. Sure you'll be cheering at home.
 
So what stadium’s tickets are we pre-ordering tickets for on 10/14?
I think we now know the answer, which is that it looks like we're not ordering anything today. I think we would be ordering if the Yankees won tonight and Citi were a certainty. I think the presale will happen the day after the Yankees win a second game or the Astros win the next 3 straight, and the stadium location for Game 1 is locked in. Note the wording of the tweet.

Technically, we have to wait until after Game 4 (possibly Game 5) to see if we've 100 percent confirmed for Yankee Stadium or Citi Field. With the series tied at 1-1...

Game 3:
- Astros Win --> Astros can win within 5 games, need to wait until Game 4 and maybe even game 5 to confirm venue.
- Yankees Win --> Astros can only win within 6 games, thus we play the ECS at Citi Field

Technically, you restated what I said in different words. You seem to think I implied that after Game 3 either stadium could be confirmed, but I didn't say that.

PS: I did mistype when I wrote " I think we would be ordering if the Yankees won tonight " when it should have said "last night" but that does not seem to be what you are attempting to correct. And bottom line, I think we agree anyway.
