Looking at the app right now and it looks like the best upgrades offered at Citi Field are right above either dugout, but it doesn't say what time they become available. I'd check throughout the day today and see if you can determine exactly when they become available, then next game you go to, try to do it right at that time. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

I like the pop up in shallow center where he literally jumps on top of the second baseman so he can be the one to catch it.

Just watched the flip play. Actually I had always thought the flip play was necessary, but I see now that the throw was coming from foul territory, and indeed was on line to Posada. Get your ****ing chest dirty Giambi!

I used to fancy Terrence Long. He hit that ball.

I especially loved the time he made an indisputably superior SS move from his natural position cuz he wouldn't cede the glory

I just watched the flip play again. How is that getting to home plate faster if Jeter leaves it alone? That was a dying quail if I ever saw one. Giambi was slow. He ain't that slow.

With the cubs playing 18 innings on Sunday and having a double header today, I guess that means their season is over!

Is that when they start becoming available at Citi? At Chase it's 1 hour before. In San Diego it's 2 hours. Rockies are already available for their game that is over an hour away.

It was over after they won last year.

'16 Indian Cubs
'14 Giants Royals
'11 Cards Rangers

'01 D'backs Yankees

Lol, don't take everything quite so literally. Considering they're -800 to win the division, you'd have to give me about 12-1 on making the playoffs. My $25 to your $300?

-800 is full of well-supported-team-bias. True odds probably closer to +300.

My $100 to your $200?

I think you can say that the extra inning game both affects teams and also builds Yankees' character and leads them to the World Series

The really only chance a team other than the Cubs had at winning this division was the Cubs starting like they have and another team getting to 20 wins by now. Cubs should (rightfully) be very big favorites ATM

Giving the ball to Russ Ortiz while taking him out early doomed his chances of ever winning a ring (as a manager).
