Oh boy what a week it has been. At least I am among the selected few that can proudly say "I saw the METS win last week." That being said I'm sure one can understand why there hasn't been an update in several days.
I suppose I can't deny that history was made at CitiField sunday night. Congrats to Mariano Rivera a true athlete that has achieved 500 career saves and also recorded his first RBI as a Yankee.
While a noteworthy moment not really one to be proud of. It was expected that the Yankees would win the series against the bruised and battered Mets. This past weekend's match up was a slaughter waiting to happen as the minor league Buffalo Bisons dressed in Mets uniforms faced the All Star Yankees. Honestly had the Mets actually won the series of even a single game, it would have been a major insult to the Yankees and their fans. So for the sake of bragging rights the Yankees are lucky they sweep the Mets, cuz as a Mets fan I can still hold my head high knowing that if Beltran Reyes Delgado Maine and Putz were in the game, the results would have been VERY VERY VERY different!

Jon Stewart is my Hero!

"Ooh a missile launched at us on 4th of July, just in time to hear our terrified population say "OOO, AHHH". Are you familiar with 4th of July? The whole sky is an explosion, it's like being a drag queen on halloween, having a seizure at a rave, or being an asshole from Philadelphia (punches air) BOOM BOOM! That's right Phillie fans you may have this world series, but that's over!"
On my way to the stadium... gee I wonder how long it will be till I say on my way home. I really really miss Shea on day's like today. SUBWAY SERIES tomorrow, Cards in 2 hours. GoTtA Believe LET'S GO METS!!! I'll be there every day till Sunday!!!

The Injuries just keep on coming...
So today it was announced that Carlos Beltran would be moved to the 15 day disabled list due to his MRI results showing a bruised knee.
In other more horrifying news... Jose Reyes and Mets trainer Ray Ramirez were rear-ended by a firetruck on the Robert F. Kennedy (Triboro) Bridge Monday while driving to the Hospital in Manhattan for a check-up visit.
The Mets can only thank their lucky stars that no one was injured in the accident, this could have been another Duaner Sanchez nightmare.
Apparently mum was the word till Tim Redding let the orange tabby out of the bag after the game. "I got here about 10 after 4 and a lot of things were going on, Apparently a lot of things were going on all over the city. Our shortstop and our trainer, who's been working his butt off to keep us on the field, got into an accident. Carlos was getting an MRI and being placed on the DL. And people were being moved, brought up and sent all over the place. So it was a whirlwind day."

More than Sheamous
So apparently Bobby Pharnell knows me. As i was walking back from bull pen gate I and the rest of my crew ran into Pharnell, Stokes, and Takahashi. Promotions Staff walks right past them then Bobby sees me and goes "I know you. What are you doing here?" and I'm like "working" and he goes "wow really? how u been?" and I'm like "um better now, you?" and he says "can't complain". So I respond "well I'll see u guys later, good luck out there" and Stokes replies "thanks".
Further down the tunnel we walk past one of the Mets managers and they just walk past him and I'm like "oo I get to see you twice in one day, what luck", and he's like :the luck is all mine to see u twice in a day".
so we get back to our office and one of the kids that was with me goes "dude u weren't lying u really r do know the players!"
Then we waiting to get into our storage room and Piti from party patrol walks by and "I'm like hey Piti" and shes says "Andrea, you working today? Am i gonna see u later? To which I say "nah I'm tired I'm going home". and shes like "come on stay. I'm gonna be bored without you". The kid then says to me, wow you really know everyone. Then another party patrol girl Jackie comes out "Jackie wheres my tshirt?" "I cant give it to u while you are on the clock catch me later". The kid now looks at me and goes "omg you don't lie, all this time I thought you were full of shit".
Meanwhile this whole time I'm wondering HOW THE HECK does Bobby Pharnell know me?

MO ZONE
Oh MoZone update... While I will not be the new face of Modells and the Mets... the fiance and I did win $200 gift cards which is still pretty sweet! And we have successfully purchased our complete subway series tickets.
and my favorite section of Citi Field will no longer be my favorite section. I have to start ALL OVER AGAIN.

"The Mo’s Zone Season Tix Winners are In!!!
And the winnah’s are…
“Kowalski and Sign Man”
If you don’t know him you’ve got to see this guy Kowalski in action.
He is a force to be reckoned with and may very well be the best rally fan you’ll ever see… or hear! Make a point to get to the Mo’s Zone this season to check him out – HE ROCKS!
Partnering with Kowalski is the new “Sign Man”. My favorite thing about New Sign Man is that he pays homage to the original “Sign Man” Karl Ehrhardt who passed away last year. Together they should make quite the tandem at Met games.
I can’t wait to see them in action!
Shout out to Darren and Zee for a solid effort that fell just short of the seasons tix. You know Darren as the guy with the Mets tattoo sleeve on his right arm."

"And the contest? Unbelievable. I heard fans howl like wolves and offered enough obscure Mets trivia to remind me that I have a lot to learn. I met Andrea of Met Sox Nation and her fiance Michael's Mets jersey that bears the signatures of virtually every Met since 2005 (Yes, Michael was there, too). I learned of the existence of Nibbler the Rally Bird, though stage fright prevented him from offering his patented 'Let's Go Mets" chant. I experienced my first live performance of musical Mets enthusiasts Kuff and the Buttheads. And so on."

I want to thank the Yankees
Ha bet y'all never thought I would say that. But here is a much needed thanks, thanks to the Bronx Bombers for losing 2 out of 3 to none other than the Washington Nationals, a team that's a joke even in the National league. Thanks for getting shut out after an embarrassing 5 and half hour rain delay to make the Frankie Rodriguez' 9th inning collapse a little less pathetic.
While I'm delivering thank yous, I would also like to thank the Phillies for getting swept in Toronto allowing the Mets to have lost 2 out of 3 to the O's without it harming the standings at all. Wow the Mets are a lucky pack, only they can royally screw up soo well and not fall any more games back and remain in second place.
Now as the Mets return home for a much needed home stand, they prepare to face the Tampa Bay Rays. A team that dominated last season and can't seem to find their footing this year. Let's just hold our breathe and hope for the best. Tune in this weekend to see what happens.
