Time for a COMEBACK

wow what an off season... Um in the interim I became a started taking steps towards moving to Boston, and even went for a job/ grad school interview in January; Became a Hockey fan, and somehow managed to work full time go to school full time and have an internship... hope that explains why i haven't posted. So now I'm now getting ready for my second season as a Citi Field/Mets employee.

Now for those of you that know me u also know that there aren't enough hours in the day for all the things I do. So RSN I have no clue whats going on up there. other than I've got 3 Boston trips planned for this season to see the Angels Dodgers and Yankees.
As for my fellow Mets Fans... there have been many changes... for starters I finally got my Tattoo. a piece any Met fan can be proud of a Peace symbol to represent my last name (my family) linked to a heart with the Mets NY logo in it to represent my love and my home.
So for all of you that hated Citi Field the home of the former Brooklyn Dodgers where the Mets play, rest assured that much has been done to make the stadium feel more like Home!
*Shea's Home Run Apple has been move outside. It now rests in front of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda where it will greet fans as they come off the 7 train.
*Vip entrances are now named after Gil Hodges Tom Seaver and Casey Stengel
*The bridge in the stadium's outfield is now called "Shea Bridge" at each end of the bridge is a placard with information about William A Shea and Shea Stadium.
* In the Jackie Robinson Rotunda the Mets have now added a Museum where fans can go and visit the world series trophies and other memorabilia. At the top of the Rotunda stairs fans are greeted by the tops starting lineup.
*Within the stadium one will also notice a whole lot of Orange & Blue as a matter of fact the paint crew got a lil orange an blue happy if u ask me, its even on the floors.
Don't get me wrong I think the confetti floors look cool. Just a lot of changes to take in all at once. So hopefully this heads up serves as a guide for the things to pay attention for when u visit on Work Out day if you're a season ticket holder or on Opening day/week. Don't worry there are many more surprises throughout the stadium but you'll have to buy tickets to a game to see them. See you all April 4th Red Sox Nation I know u guys will start that season right against the Yankees & 5th Mets Maniacs!!! By the way I work in Fan Photo now.

27

27... wow well Nation, that is definitely NOT a number that we can celebrate. 27 a number that Mets & Red Sox fans will now come to hate surely much more than they loathed 26! Yes after 9 years, the New York Yankees have earned themselves another world series title. I must say though that it is quite a relief to see the Yankees take another one and not the Phillies 2peat.

The past month has been quite the rollercoaster. I was filled with such Pride and hope when my Sox clinched though as could be seen by our end of the year performance we clearly fell apart quite disappointing to have lost the last 10 games of the season. Hears hoping that seeing their rivals claim #27 will give our Fenway boys the jolt they need to KEEP IT TOGETHER next year.

As a Met fan I'm sure I can say we all sighed a collective breath of relief last night. I MOST DEFINITELY did not wanna see the phuckin fillies win it (last year doesn't count in my book that was such BULL, Tampa is the real champ in my eye). I must admit though, I would have loved more than anything to have seen the Yankees win it on Monday for the pure fact that it would have been amazin' to see the looks of sad disappointed Phillie fans.


On the plus side NY gets a parade, granted not the parade MetSoxNation would have wanted, but hey better here than somewhere else... with a heavy heart... Thanks Bronx Bombers from your Orange and Blue brothers in Queens!!!

BEST WEEK EVER!!!

Better a little late than never!!!! RSN it is that time of year!!!! Time to celebrate, time to rush out and get all the new gear, cuz our bean town boys got the wild card! BTW RSN mlb.com has great deals on stuff right now. Buy one womens winter hate get a free set of headband! We all know how cold Boston can get, not think of how cold Fenway is gonna be on NOVEMBER 1st? ;)

Keep cheering, Don't stop Believing.

P.S. Mets fans i have not forsaken you, I have just decided to let my orange and blue get some much need R&R! This has been a season that Mets and their fans do not want to remember for more ways than one. Lets hope that our second year in our new home turns out to be the opposite of this.

This explains A LOT!

The Team in Red Wins More

Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

In athletic competition, the side that has red as part of its uniform scores 10 percent more than teams that don't.

German psychologists showed clips of Taekwondo bouts between a fighter in red and one in blue to 42 experienced referees. They then showed the clips again, digitally flipping the colors of the combatants' uniforms. In each case, red wearing fighters were more likely to win.

This adds to a straight-up analysis of results that found competitors in red prevail more often. "There is now good experimental evidence that red stimuli are perceived as dominant and that they cause negative effects on performance in those viewing them," concluded the researchers.

This may be yet another explanation for the continued frustrations of the hapless orange-and-blue New York Mets.

Missing the game

So this has been a hard week for me, in to a serious accident in the family and in part to what my parents promised to be a fun and relaxing vacation at the Jersey Shore. However how good can a vacation be when you find yourself surrounded by Phillies Fans and none of the local channels show the Mets game. Last night was especially hard, Yankees v Red Sox & Mets v Phillies and me sitting here unable to watch either game.

Apparently in my time away the one the only Billy Wagner returned to the Mets and pitched an amazing inning from what I hear. Then before I had time to digest such a momentous event, I find out that the Red Sox have claimed the Sandman away on waivers. I'd hate to see him go, but it would be great to see one of my favorite pitchers play for a contender (dare I say potential W.S. winner) at least he's not going to the Yankees! Can't wait till Tuesday to see what happens.

As for the the AL East rivals, well the Yanks displayed their power to Fenway's B squad (Francona pulled out the big guns in the 4th inning). Who know what the final score could have been if the A team were up! One thing for sure, 11-20 will not be repeated today, as the boys from bean town are dominating at 12-1 in the 8th.

Kevin Youkilis has shown that he's unstoppable after returning from a 5 game suspension and hitting 2 home runs today for 5 rbis in the game. Big Papi has hit his 20th hr of the season, and proud papa Pedroia is surely setting a good example for his bouncing baby boy Dylan!

~Keep it up guys always I'M PROUD OF YOU!

And the HITS keep on coming... literally

I know Met fans everywhere are shaking their heads in disbelief. As the NY Mets are in the midst of their 40th anniversary celebrating the Amazin' 69 Mets, I can't help but wonder i n 40 years will the 2009 Mets be remembered as the weakend Orange and Bruised?

In case you missed it, the NY METropolitian hospital (as my dad so adequately calls the team) finally admitted David Wright. Wright became the latest casualty on this streak (one we can't wait to break) when he was hit in the head by a rogue pitch by Giants starter Matt Cain... thus breaking the hearts of female Mets fans everyone.

Wright was hit in the helmet above the ear and dropped to the floor like a helicopter in the Hudson. He then lay there motionless as the entire stadium came to a sudden halt. Everyone held their breaths and prayed. I nearly broke down into tears as I cried out "get up, omg get up David, for the love of G-d please get up!" After several minutes he was turned over my sister goes "oh good he's moving" to which I replied "I'd hardly consider that moving." David was clearly concused; an observation that I was able to make from all the way up in Promenade. Rest assured MetSoxNation he was able to walk off the field granted with some help. It has been reported that he is doing fine and is said to recover soon. He is being held over night at a NY hospital as he recovers from a concusion. For a team already missing the greater part of their power line up; Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes, any serious injury to Wright would be catastrophic.

So it is now with deep regret that I "welcome" Wright to the injury train. The lone soldier that survived for soo long has been struck down.

YOUKKKKK

Sorry readers... I've been sooo low on energy and even lower on time since having started my new job. I have even attempted to enlist a few staff writers. If you are interested in helping me out on either the Mets or Red Sox aspect of the blog. let me know. I may also be interested in other view points and teams to expand on.

Anyway Im sure any and every mlb fan with ESPN has heard of the bench clearing brawl between my man Youk and Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello. But in case u missed it here's the play by play... or better yet fan footage!!!


All I can say its about damn time. I have been waiting for something like this since the Mets Marlins brawl of 07! As "bad" as it is for sportsmanship and for little kids to see, we all know deep down its something we practically pray for! I mean you saw how the fans reacted; Youkilis was praised! Fights like this really help to light a fire in the swings of the players. Take the results of this game for example .... 7-5 win!!!
