Good Afternoon everyone!
Man is
it hot out today! So while I’m sitting inside my house beating the heat and
relaxing before I catch the Mets game today I figured I would sneak in a quick
post about my Citi Field experience at yesterday’s game.
So at
about 2:30 pm Friday afternoon, a friend and I left the sleepy little town of
Lewisburg that is nestled in Central Pennsylvania for a night of drinking
Expensive Beer and Hot Dogs (Seriously 24 bucks for a Sam Adams and Hot Dog…)
and of course rooting for our beloved New York Metropolitans. Obviously they were playing the lowly Chicago
Cubs (shhh ,don’t tell Reed Johnson that, he might go 4 for 5) so we figured we
had a win pretty much in the books considering we had Johan on the mound and
that there was no way the Cubs would tag Johan for 7 runs…right?. WRONG!, an
immediate red flag for us was when we hadn’t reached our seats yet and it was
already 1-0 Cubs and we kind of thought Johan was going to have a tough go of
it. He just simply wasn’t himself Friday and we’ll just leave it at that (its Johan
he is allowed a hiccup here and there).
As far
as the rest of my thoughts for the game, I really liked what I saw from Turner
and Cedeno I thought they actually had fine games and also Ramon Ramirez looked
good out of the pen so I’m hoping this is a sign that he is starting to become
the guy the Mets were hoping he would be when they traded for him. Now about Miguel Batista…I like his
versatility as a player due to the fact that he can start or pitch long relief and
also pitch late in games but has anyone else noticed he has been kind of bad
lately? Just an observation it’s been a reoccurring theme of the Mets being
down a run or so and then Batista comes in and gives up another run or so. This
was kind of glaring in the 9th when the Mets were down 8-3 instead
of 7-3. Granted the Mets Had no business winning that game considering they
gave up 18 hits but then again who’s to say they would’ve made a rally to
almost comeback had Batista not given up that RBI single to Alfonso Soriano
(who by the way I love to watch hit…when he actually makes contact his swing is
so pretty to watch).
Now
about that 9th…
Kirk: UGHHHH I love ya Kirk but UGHHH
Valdespin: Where did all this pop come from? I love it
Tejada: Heck of an at bat, just a clutch AB to set the table
for watch was an exciting 9th
Murphy, Hairston and Wright: Also great at bats
IKE: Yesssssssss.
Great job to come off the bench and get a Knock to set up the potential
walk off
Duda: Hit a homer which was cool. Love the power potential, but
quit kicking me in the balls in the field, his defense is brutal
Good
Game, love the new dimensions and most
of all LETS GO METS !
