I'm a 15 year old baseball lover and I love absolutely everything about the Mets and their futility. I made up my own language that is a mix of English French and Baseball Slang. All of my friends learned everything they know about baseball from me. I hope to meet David Wright because my dream is to become Mrs. Wright. I also hope to meet Xavier Nady because he is one of my favorite players and I always am rooting for him. He will always be X-Man. When I grow up I want to be some kind of sports journalist or reporter. (Or I could take over after Gary Cohen is done) To sum it all up, I live, eat, and breath Mets Baseball!
Oh yeah! My baseball "boyfriend" is Mets catcher of the future, Josh Thole
*You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too.
-- Roy Campanella
*"Yeah, it turns out the Cubs are nice guys. That's unfortunate."
-- Ryan Braun, on getting to know some of his rivals at the All-Star Game. (Chicago Tribune)
*"He didn't do that in a season. He did that in a round. He was even mis-hitting balls, and they were going out of the park. He's a freak of nature."

*Youkilis is one of three Jewish players in this year's All-Star Game, joining Kinsler and Ryan Braun of the Brewers. "I haven't been able to meet Braun yet," Kinsler said, "but Youkilis always says something to me on the bases. 'Happy Passover,' he'll throw something at me."
*"On Monday it was really sore," Kinsler said. "Today when I woke up I could actually sit up in bed rather than roll out the side and fall on my face."
*"I didn't know what he was doing. I thought maybe he had to run to the bathroom or something, ... If I had swung and hit Grady in the face I would have had every woman in America mad at me." - Travis Hafner on Grady stealing home
*"A lot of the job is being a rah-rah guy," Shawn Green told the Times. "We all know how to hit or else we wouldn't be here. Sometimes all we want is to be held and told that everything's going to be all right."
*"Yeah, I like things neat," Schoeneweis said. "If you come to my [hotel] room the last day of a four-game stop [in one city], you'd probably think no one had stayed there. I put everything away. I make the bed."
