You’re hired! Welcome the New T7L Bloggers
Over the last two weeks, we put out an open call for bloggers. We received an outpouring of applications, and through those, we chose 10 candidates to take a writing test. After careful consideration, we’ve landed on the three newest writers that will be coming on board the newly revamped T7L blog.
Let’s meet ‘em:
Tim Reilly
From: Babylon, Long Island.
Lives: Upper East Side
You Should Know: As a player growing up, I tried to emulate Edgardo Alfonzo's approach at the plate.
My mother was pregnant with me for the duration of the 1986 season. So while I've never actually seen the Mets win the World Series, she says I attended a few crucial games along the way. My last game at Shea Stadium was with my dad, and David Wright hit a walk-off home run. What more could a fan ask for?

Nick Giacone
From: Rockville Centre, Long Island
Lives: Astoria, NY
You Should Know: I appeared on the Opening Day banner giveaway for the 2015 season, as well as in an ad at the West 4th Street subway station.
My Mets fan highlights include attending the Game 3 victory in the 2000 World Series, R.A. Dickey's 20th win in 2012, and every postseason game in 2015. The Mets will always be a part of my identity, and I cherish every moment I get to watch them with friends and family.

Allie Ditkowich
From: Lynbrook, NY
You Should Know: I was Josh Satin's eyebrows' biggest fan #LoyalTilTheLastWax (Editor’s note: You gotta respect a strong eyebrow. – Brian)
I'm an expert at Citi Field cuisine, and I try to infuse humor into even the most absurd Mets situations (if you don't laugh, you'll cry, right?). I'm still not over Big Sexy leaving.

Pregame With The 7 Line Army In The K Korner!
Swing by the K Korner on Tuesday April 22nd before the Mets take on the Phillies. If you're sitting with us or not, you can enjoy discounted Montauk draft beers by rocking T7L merch to the bar.
This isn't the Bronx. Don't do this, Mets fans.
Listen, I too was an idiot from time to time. Have one or two extra beers and do some dumb shit I probably shouldn't have. Last season we were the Team Of Fun. Let's be that. Certainly not this.
PRE-GAME WITH THE 7 LINE ARMY IN DC!
Meet up with The 7 Line Army at Royal Sands Social Club before heading in to the game on April 26th! This venue is located just across the street from the Center Field entrance at Nationals Park.
