"You Know I Wish That I Had Jessie's Girl!"

Okay, well, not really...

Today I wanted the Mets to win and I believed they could win and I was very happy with the performance from Mike Pelfrey.  I was hoping the Mets would score some runs while he was still in the game but that didn't happen.  For some reason it has been challenging for the Mets to score runs in starts made by Mikey P.  But that didn't make a difference in the outcome of today's game.

I tried not to get too disappointed when the Mets kept leaving runners on base.  I started to tell myself that there will not be a bottom of the ninth in this game.  That one worked.  And when David was at bat in the eighth I told myself he would get his first career hit off of Broxton.  That also worked.  So today I guess you could say thinking positive was a good idea.

It was funny when they showed somebody taking a baseball apart and then they showed that is was Ollie.  Perez put the ball in his mouth to try to get it to work better.  John Maine was sitting next to him and gave Ollie a look that said Okay, I don't think you know where that has been.  It was really funny!

Johan is pitching tomorrow night and the game will be on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

Let's Go Mets!

Also, Robinson Cancel is catching for the Zephyrs tonight and Mike caught the last game.  Mike also pinch-ran for Gustavo Molina in the second game of the double header the other day.  If anybody has any updates on the reason Molina hasn't played recently I would really appreciate it.

Happy Birthday Jake!

(This post doesn't count for the "lyric titles" because it is for a special birthday)

Jake turns 27 today! Happy Birthday Jake!





HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

More Lifehouse.

Update 9:00 AM- There is a giant wild turkey in my backyard and I am kinda scared.

Being at the game kinda stunk. A bunch of bad things happened and I have so many bad things to say about Aa*** Hei**** that I will not even fully spell out his name anymore.

• My sister was rooting for the Dodgers because of Scott Proctor who didn't even pitch
• When we got to out seats my sister pushed me (I am not sure if it was on purpose) and my knee banged into a seat and I scraped myself
• The Mets lost
• Aa*** Hei**** got the loss

On a brighter note, I got a really cute little teddy bear with a t-shirt that has the Shea "then and now" logo on it and orange sleeves.

Also Mike Nickeas caught in the Zephyrs loss but that turns to bad news because he went 0-for-3.

The Pirates lost and so did the Royals and Alex Gordon. But that turns to a happy note parce que (it's French for because) Grady Sizemore hit 2 homers to beat the Royals.

It is always good to end on a happy note.

Mikey P. in the house!
Let's Go Mets!

"Feeling Alive All Over Again"

Just a shout out to Lifehouse.

The Zephyrs played 2 yesterday and my "boyfriend" played in both of them. In the first game Mike wen 1-for-2 with a walk and he is batting .239. In the second game he was a pinch runner. The Zephyrs lost both games to Round Rock.

The Mets won again last night and David hit 2 homers and he OWNS Brad Penny. This is pretty funny but I will never think he is old. The Mets are finally figuring out how to play baseball again. I am getting excited.


I am going to the game tonight and I want to see some of batting practice so hopefully I will.

Let's Go Mets!

Jon Peter Lewis - A Little Less Conversation Encore

I think he is cute and he was my first "real" crush!

"Viva La Vida"

I know that song because of my art teacher that plays it everyday during class and I really like it.

I also really like the fact that the Mets have a winning streak of 2 games and last night reminded me somewhat of 2006. They came back and never seemed to give up the fight. I was ready to give up and prepare to write about Poo Poo Perez but there was no need to. The Mets have saved his name by bringing his last 2 starts to extras and he has remained Ollie. Tatis has been big for the Mets and it is always entertaining to watch an infielder play in the outfield. But I shouldn't laugh too much because I look pretty pathetic when I am not playing 1st or 2nd base. ESPECIALLY in the outfield! The bullpen stepped up big time and Duaner fought back after being knocked down by a pitch and got the bunt down. And as much as I enjoy finding negative things to say about Aaron Heilman today there really is nothing bad to say. He pitched 2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen and we can only hope he can keep pitching well. We can also hope the Mets continue to play well and continue to win.

Tonight against the Dodgers!

Let's Go Mets!

And because my "boyfriend" plays on the Zephyrs and my art teacher plays the song that I like I will link to the video of The Zephyr Song.

And I also have a few links:
One is about Mike Pelfrey
One is about Michael Cuddyer
and one is about a lot of people but David and Alex are mentioned in the 3B part and Grady in the outfield part. YAY!

"Cause He's Grady"

YES!  That IS a song!

And THIS is a good article about him!

Let's Go Grady!

I really like that picture of him.

"You're The One That I Want"

do i really need to say anything?

"I Want It That Way"

If you don't know that song then I am sorry but you obviously were living under a rock in the 90s.  I have decided to listen to Backstreet Boys until the Mets string some wins together and the post titles with song lyrics will continue for the same amount of time.  I woke this morning and it didn't feel different than it did after the Mets had lost but that is probably because I woke up and remembered I had to go to school and that disappointed me.  I am glad the Mets won but it doesn't change anything unless they put more than 1 win together.  I hope good Ollie is at Shea today.

I am going to the game on Friday so I will take pics and I might actually post some of them.  I also plan on making a poster that says 'Mike Pelfrey's #1 fan' or something along those lines and I want to get some autographs if I can.

Let's Go Mets!

"Seven Days And Seven Nights Of Empty Tries"

I actually seems like a lot longer than that for the Mets. The song is "Something That I Already Know" by the Backstreet Boys. I like listening to the Backstreet Boys, even if it is some of their new music. The video in the link has good pictures of them and they bring back good memories.

Now, about the Mets:
I thought Willie would keep his job for now. I think the Wilpons should privately set a goal for Randolph to win a certain amount of games in a certain period of time and if he doesn't come through that's it. They cannot have a long leash for him and I believe they eventually will do the right thing. But they end up taking too long to make the right decision. I have confidence in the Wilpons, it is Omar and Willie that I don't have confidence in. Omar seems to have used all of his magic quickly and I don't see him making any more big moves. Willie had success early and when you get that good there is more bad that can come than good. The winning percentage of The Mets went up for a while and then they got to their peak and Willie couldn't hold it there.

The Mets need to make a move and do it soon.

Speaking of moves: According to Adam Rubin Carlos Muniz is coming to Shea but it is not known who for. Matt Wise may be hurting or my prayers could be answered and Aaron Heilman is going away.

Let's Go Mets!

P.S.
I have subjected myself to Backstreet Boys music again until the Mets win a game.
