Official Shea Stadium Countdown Tracker Thread

SteveJRogers · 04-09-2008, 07:15 PM

Looks like the Mets really are taking a cue from FaFiF! Or at the very least the Cards when they counted down to the end of Busch Stadium II

So, here is the Official tracker of who lifts the number each game.

Date 4/8
Opponent Phillies
Number Removed Start of Countdown
Remover Family of William A. Shea

HOPEFULLY I'll be able to get this into a table format!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound. During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.
