My usual pre-game ritual for the past eight years has been to get a beer and smoke a cigar while doing the crossword puzzle on the ramp between the DIamond Club and the Mezzanine. This year I can't do that. So no more $8 beer and instead of standing still for an hour I've walked around Flushing Meadow Park. Maybe I'll get in shape.

Population control? If that were the case it'd be easier to just put arsenic in the water.

Interesting. I had this weird idea that you could smoke on the ramps at Shea because they were considered a separate, open-air structure than the the rest of the stadium (I love arcane crap like that). I didn't realize that I was actually breaking the law, breaking the law, breaking the law.

$8? At least it's not the $9.50 they're raping Yankees fans for at the Stadium.

Yeah, I'm sure this kid's peers are all about Archie Bunker. Bunk is actually a synonym for sh*tty, so Bunkless is really a high compliment.

If the government wants people to stop smoking why don't they just make it illegal. That seems to have worked well with marijuana and alcohol.

I was at the game on Sunday and plenty of people were smoking on the ramps the entire game outside the Mezz and upper deck sections.

That's weird that they're not even allowing people to light up on the ramps.
