I’m in amnesty mode right now, I’ve just posted 3 consecutive articles in 10 minutes. They’ve been sitting in the queue for about a month, while I finalized a couple things. Now that that’s all settled, I have one more game to go, then I’ll post Mike’s running diary from the Cardinals game a couple weeks ago. This all needs to be done before our next game against the Dodgers, Wednesday July 8th. I also have a lot of work at the office to do, am in the process of moving amongst other things. Yeah, let’s get right to Round 2 against the Phillies. DING!!!
For my birthday, Hi-C got me two tickets to Mets-Phillies at Citi Field on June 10. I asked if she was working that day. She said she took off in the hopes of me taking her, but it was my choice. Of course I was going to take her. Isn't that like birthday gift etiquette? Anyway, after the win the night before, I was flying high into Citi. My birthday wish was to see them win two in a row. Damn! I just said it. Ah well.
1) What did I say last time about not hitting traffic on the way to City? Ouch. We got smoked.
2) Two days in a row, my sister shunned me on my Crack is Wack call. That’s it. Next time she’s just getting a text!
3) Today’s Big Apple Brew of the day is Ichiban!
4) Wow, these seats will play. Section 134, Row 5. I think I found a keeper.
5) Phenomenal, a family of 4 Phillies fans just sat down in front of me and I’m supposed to be on my best behavior. Ugh.
6) Hey, this just in, Victorino cheats on his wife. (Correction, he’s not married yet. He’s getting married in the fall of 2009. But he and his baby Mama were together when said rendezvous with a certain young lady in
7) And Pelfrey doubles off of Cole Hammels, later scoring. (Choke on THAT Cole.)
8) Wow, Castillo was out at first. We got a gift there. Please don’t let that one come back to bite us in the collective ass.
9) Okay, this is the first time I’ve gotten legitimately upset with Citi Field. The chicken fingers are more expensive than in the past and they no longer come with fries. That’s a bad job.
10) Big Apple Brew of the Day #2 is Longboard. (this one is on the list of winners)
11) I wrote a note here that says “Pete.” No idea what it means. Maybe Hi-C remembers, but I have no clue. This is why I need to write these right after the game. Dammit.
12) Hammels is the choke artist now, just gave up another hit to Big Pelf.
13) And there they are, the jackass Phillies fans drawing attention to themselves. I had to explain to C about when I go to another stadium, I root for my team, but I don’t draw attention to myself. Whatever happened to respecting your hosts?
14) D-Wright is locked in right now. (This was in early June.)
15) This is the 15th observation of this post and GEICO would like to remind you that a 15 minute call can save you 15% on your car insurance. For more information log on to www.geico.com.
16) I love seeing J-Roll hit into a double play that was bobbled.
17) We missed the KFC lucky section by 1 section. I let Pepsi Girl know about that when I saw her.
18) Hi-C broke the news to me that she met T.O. in a bar in Philly when she was in school and that he was really cool about it. She had to play it cool as her father cursed him out over the phone to her. Exactly what I would have done. Luckily for T.O., he’s no longer on my list.
19) Beltran drops one against the wall, here we go again. I got a bad feeling about this.
20) NO!!!! NOT SEAN GREEN!!! HE’S HEILMAN 2.0!!!
21) Error by D-Wright and the game is tied.
22) “That’s the difference between being a world champion and not.”
23) “What selling your soul to the devil?”
24) Dude heckling the Phillies fans has a Yankees tattoo. I’m staying away from this one. “But he’s such a Mets fan”~Hi C
25) And he had a Jaeger logo on his hat
26) I got it. He’s an alcoholic and the tattoo artist messed up. BINGO!
27) Just saw a dude wearing a Mets hat and a Donovan McNabb jersey. WTF?!?!?!
28) Chan Ho Park coming out of the pen. Ohhhhh bring it.
29) He brought it. So many missed opportunities. The story of our lives right now.
30) The dude two rows in front of us has a fro that is RIDICULOUS!!!
31) Okay, I’m all about heckling Phillies fans, but the guys in our section are making us look bad. They’re blatantly trying to pick a fight with 4 Phillies fans who are ignoring them. Seriously guys, drop it. They’re not bothering anyone. I can’t believe I’m sticking up for Phillies fans. That’s how bad these Mets fans were.
32) OH WHAT A PLAY BY TATIS!!!!
33) HOW BOUT YOU WHIP OUT YOUR TATIS!!!
34) Okay, seriously guys, real classy. Thank God Hi-C is already a Mets fan, because this kind of behavior wouldn’t help my argument.
35) Now a Phillies fan is calling for security. Leave it alone dude. He’s the type of jackass that sues when his feelings are hurt. Security was laughing at him. What an ass.
36) Victorino shouldn’t cheat on his baby Mama. It’s not nice.
37) Damn Chase Utley. The one Philly I actually respect. He’s gotta be the killer tonight. Of course we can’t hold a 4-1 lead. Of course we can’t get it done against Chan Ho Park late in the game.
This was a bad loss, a REALLY bad loss. Yet I found that Hi-C kept me calm. I have no idea how she does it, but it took every ounce of energy for me to keep composed. I guess I can take solace in the fact that they won the night before when I was there. If I went to Citi Field and watched the Mets lose to the Phillies on back to back nights, she might have seen a different side of me. Anyway, thanks for the birthday present!!
Next up is the Pack's game against the Cardinals, my first Pack Game of the Year and believe me, you don't wanna miss what happens in this one.
