Mr. Met's too gangsta for an umbrella
Mets vs Yankees
CitiField at 7:10pm
Temperature: 78°F
Mostly cloudy, 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms
Wind from the northwest, 8-12mph.
Definitely a night where we could see a rain delay at some point (after this week, we should be used to it). The latest model run has less rain in NY tonight than the previous run, so that’s a positive trend – but thunderstorms don’t always care about what the models say. I don’t expect a postponement though – rain delay at worst.
Down the road…
CitiField; Saturday, 7:10pm – 75°F [Partly cloudy, slight chance of storms]
CitiField; Sunday, 8:05pm – 73°F [Mostly cloudy, scattered rain showers]
Thursday’s Verification: Forecast gametime temp – 77°F; Actual temp – 75°F

Mr. Met’s favorite song (other than “Meet the Mets”):

There’s something slightly unnatural about 9:00am baseball. I remember yawning my way through warmups and then feeling sick to my stomach because I’d sneak a Coke and that’s too early to drink Coke. The folks should’ve turned me on to coffee, would’ve made me a better Little Leaguer.

It would just be the same formula, but in a 50% smaller container/quantity.
You should probably contact them about that and reap the rewards of your good idea.

Its like giving your kid a cup of coffee with a coke as the chaser. So I would say sure why not.

That reminds me. One of my favorite Summer night weekend desserts is a Coke Float. It’s Coke with Coffee ice cream in it. Mmmmm.

I just can’t stop staring at Mr. Met. Those big, penetrating eyes. That inviting smile.
