Been a long time gone but I'm back

2009-04-06T12:16:22Z

I now it's been like forever since a wrote on here but i am gonna try to do so as much as possible. got caught up with stuff in the off-season and blah blah blah but Im back! Umm so opening night thoughts: Brett Myers definitely needs some more practice with keeping the ball on the ground instead of in the stands. His curveball did start to look better after a while however. Good defense by the braves allowing only one run in the game. Derek Lowe was great in his debut. I'll post about opening day later today or tommorow

World Series Pick

2008-10-20T23:13:21Z

This was a tough one. However, I am going to say that the Rays have the motivation, the talent,

and the young guns to win it all. The Phillies (as much as it pains me to say this) are a talented

team, but aren't quite to that level yet. Also, the Rays had a better record and a harder schedule.

Last Game at Shea

2008-09-28T13:54:45Z

Today is the last game at Shea Stadium:(. I am very sad. I did get to go their however. I'm

really angry that ESPN is completely ignoring it after all they did for yankee stadium. I mean

sure they haven't won 26 world series title or had Muhammad Ali, but their stadium still has a rich

history. If you agree please comment. Thanks.

Ok. if you live in the NY area you probably know Kevin Burkhardt. This is him: sorry if it didn't

Stuff

2008-09-24T23:11:53Z

i was looking back at my blogs and realized i forgot to mention some stuff.

I am a big Mets fan just to let you know but try my best to keep my blog neutral
i upload a pic (duh) and added some stuff to about me
I never blogged about a game I went to

Trenton Thunder vs. Binghamton Mets

No BP, no balls. Game ended with Binghamton winning. Could have snagged ball at end but was facing 2 little kids so I let them duke it out. it payed off. 5 seconds later Mako Oliveras saw what I had done saw that I was absolutely decked OUT in Mets gear and gave me Nick Evan's bat that broke earlier in the game. Got Evan's, Parnell, Niese, and Murphy and many others to sign a ball. (Fernando Martinez was unfortunately on the DL0

hit counter?

Mets vs. Pirates @ PNC Park

2008-09-07T15:46:56Z

After 2 days in Ohio and a tour of progressive field I arrived at PNC park to see the mets take on the Pirates. I had my hopes up that the Mets would win and was confident because Santana was pitching. I was one of the first 100 people or so inside. I unfortunately however did not have a ticket for the outfield so I was forced to stand by the dugout. About 30 minutes later Damion Easley came over to sign and I got him to sign a ball and a card of him with the Tigers in 2000. A few minutes later Delgado misplayed a ball a first and it hopped down into the camera well. Everyone saw it, but the security refused to get it. (He probably thought it would be to close to exercise. More on this later I then almost got my glove confiscated for attempted the glove trick. That resulted in several people in my section booing the security guard. (There's a first). After that Ramon Castro tossed a ball into the crowd. 15 people or so reached with, but I was the only one with a glove. It was in my glove when an annoying/rude/obnoxious man knocked it out. But a little kid got so all is well. Then Kevin Burkhardt (SNY reporter) came onto the field. He was very nice to everyone and I knew he had access to the camera well. I asked him very politely if he could get the ball and he did! My first ever ball. Soon after I was asked to return to my seat. The Mets won 4-0 and Santana pitched a CG 3-hitter. After the game I tried to get a ball or an utograph but walked away empty. Then it was time for the 8 hour drive back home so I could get up at 5AM to go to band Camp.
