Futures Game Citi Field

The place to come to talk about all things IBC related. Or not IBC related. Just keep it reasonably respectful.

The next stop on my burger tour is definitely Ted's Restaurant in Meriden, CT. Home of the famous steamed cheeseburger. Supposed to be delicious, and I've seen it on enough of those food TV shows that I need to get off my ass and drive 30 mins to give it a try.

I'm a big fan of Ruby's on Mulberry. I used to live a few blocks from there, and between that place and Lombardi's Pizza, I was in good shape for grub.

Futures game gets announced tomorrow - I would love for Syndergaard to start for the US, Rafael Montero to start for the World and Matt Harvey to start for the NL! Gonna be tough with Taillon, Walker, Bradely most likely getting picked. Also looking forward to Xander, Sano, Flores & Buxton.

Anyone else going? I went ahead and bought the entire AllStar strip - so I will be at every event (and paying for it over the next 3 years). Also staying on Times Square for a week (despite having family in NY).

Are people actually going? Turns out I'll be in New York myself. There are plenty of available tickets on StubHub, if people let me know who wants to go and a preferred email address StubHub has that everyone pay for their own thing.

I'm in Section 520, Row 2 - but I'm sure you can get much better seats and I'll probably move down anyway. Doubt it'll be at capacity.

Because Jake H is very hot or because of the temperature?

I'm actually writing it as we speak. All good things come to those who wait.
