I was there: Mets vs. Yankees 6.29.08

I was pleased that this game was not moved to the ESPN night game. Hooray for that. While Shea was pretty full, there wasn’t the fights that plagued last year’s game, quite possibly thanks to it being an afternoon game vs. a night game. Anyway, it was rather exciting, the Mets won. [...]

Fun: Subway Series BBQ

I’m about to be off to a rousing BBQ in honor of the Subway Series.
The Menu:

I’ll have the Carl Pavano Peanut Brittle, please.
I’ll be wearing my new shirt bought just for the occasion (it was the ONLY medium in the display at Kohl’s. It was a sign it had to be mine)…

back:

And even though [...]

Game: Of Ballgames and Blowouts

Tuesdays is doubleheader softball days. We lost our first game last night to a team that we definitely should not have lost to. You could tell everyone was not happy with this and in the 1st inning of the second game we scored 10 runs in the first inning. Going into the [...]

I was there: Mets v. Royals 6.15.08

Well, I was trying to get some time to upload photos for the game before I posted this, but I’ve been crazy busy with 5 (!) softball games this week, and that along with bad thunderstorms rolling through that required power shutdown to save my computer…well…no photos are uploaded still so they’ll have to get [...]

Miscellany: Call the Waaaahmbulance

Yesterday in the Yankees-Astros game, Chien-Ming Wang, also known as the Yankees most consistent pitcher this year, managed to bust up his foot while running the bases. He partially tore a tendon and sprained his right foot, has to wear a boot and be on crutches. How anyone can do such things is [...]

Miscellany: Mets Weekly

This week’s Mets Weekly had to have had the most interesting segment I’ve ever seen on the show. That was the one about the guy who stitches all the letters & numbers onto the jerseys. I like seeing how things are put together and I like clothes (a lot!) so I enjoyed it. [...]

I was there: Yankees vs. Royals 6.9.08

A big “thanks” goes out to the LIRR and their fiascos and them nearly keeping us away from this game. I’ve complained before about how the transportation from Shea is being handled this year (as in not being handled well), and it seems that not much is different at other times of the day. [...]

Ponderance: A Prada dress never broke my heart before

Warning – lots of randomness ahead!
If you’ve been anywhere around a tv/newspaper/magazine, you know that the Sex and the City movie came out this past weekend (p.s. it was awesome!). The “featured” song by Fergie called Labels or Love has the lyric “A Prada dress never broke my heart before”. Pretty poetic if [...]

I was NOT there: Great day for a game

It’s an absolutely gorgeous afternoon to be out at the ballpark. And I should’ve been out at the ballpark now…however…ESPN is evil and chose to make today’s Mets game the Game of the Week and now it doesn’t start until 8pm. Can we get a rousing BOO to that? I am no [...]
