"And I want to take you from darkness to light "

When I'm posting this much in one day I have to know a lot of song lyrics.

I forgot to mention this earlier in the week but, Mike Nickeas got a hit and RBI for the Mets earlier this week. The game was at the Cardinals so it wasn't on TV here. I still haven't found any pics but I'll continue to look.

Let's Go Mike!
and Mets!

"I Simply Remember My Favorite Things..."

Wow. I'd say that was pretty depressing. So, I'm looking up random people on Wikipedia and I got Mikey P.'s page. Of course, I think of Joe Smith after that because Mike and Joe go together like peanut butter and jelly, but when I get there I am confused for all of a second and wonder why the info box is red instead of orange. Then I remember he's on the Indians.

I hope to never ever do that again. It hurts too much.

"You're wise beyond your years, but I don't care"

I found a nice interview of Xavier. I really wish he wasn't a Yankee but I also want him to stay a Yankee for a little while because he has moved around a lot the past few years. If he were to be traded I would want it to be to the Mets for the obvious reasons as well as the fact that it would be another big move for him.

Mike Pelfrey left the game after pitching 1/3 of an inning. He isn't injured, there was just a 90 minute rain delay so he didn't go back in the game. The Mets are losing 6-1 in the top of the 9th.

Baseball is so close!
Let's Go Mets!

"Rain Is Falling Down On The Sidewalk"

The Mets are currently in a rain delay against the Orioles. But, that doesn't really matter because the game isn't on TV. Mike Pelfrey is pitching for the Mets.

Citi Field opens today with the college baseball game going for a test-run. I wish I was there but hopefully I'll get to see a Mets game at some point during the season.

As you should be able to see I went back to the other template. I decided for baseball season I should make it clear that this is a Mets blog. I also just like this template more and I would have changed earlier but I just finally figured out how to keep all of my sidebar widgets and get the cool template.

Just about a week until baseball season!
Let's Go Mets!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!!!!

Today Michael Brent Cuddyer turns 30 years old.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!!!

"Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from"

Right now I am majorly obsessed with Gavin DeGraw. But that has nothing to do with anything.

What's really going on is everything is reminding me of baseball. It's hard to believe that in a week I will be sitting here all excited about baseball and watching the first MLB game at Citi Field. I just can't wait!

The Mets won today and John Maine finally kinda looked like himself. YAY!

Let's Go Mets!

"And the whole town under water there was nothing we could do"

First, I have a book recommendation. One More River by Lynne Reid Banks is an amazing book. It's about a 14 year old living in Canada in 1966 and she has to move to a kibbutz in Israel. It doesn't sound that interesting but I just read it for an English project and it is truly amazing.

I don't really know what went on with the Mets today (GASP!) but I do know they lost to the Tigers and Poo Poo pitched.

Buuutttt, I have good news! Through the comment section of Surfing the Mets I found out Mike Nickeas is at minor league camp for the Mets. I still have faith and really want him to get a shot in the big leagues with any team.

I start outside practices for softball tomorrow if the weather is good.

Let's Go Mets!

"All That Matters Is That You Recognize That It's Just About Respect"

This post is dedicated to Shawn Green and all of the other players that wear #20. That's because we got our uniforms for softball and I have #20. I want #24 or #34 but they were both on some awkward alternate unis so I took #20 over #56.

Some other #20's:

• Ho Jo!!!!
  
• Shawn Green
• Tommie Agee
• David Dellucci
• Rod Barajas
• Greg Norton
• Mike Lamb
• Logan Kensing
• Brandon McCarthy
• Matt Joyce
• YOUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK!!!!! (I think you can tell I like this one)
• Chris Iannetta!
• Matt Treanor
• Matt Tolbert
• Carlos Quentin
• Jorge Posada

I think that is a pretty strong list.

Let's Go Mets!

"Let's Hold Onto Each Other, Above Everything Else"

I do a lot of thinking during gym class because we are doing bowling so it gets kinda boring. So, today I was thinking about Mike Pelfrey. I'm not really sure why but I was. Then, when I got home I checked the score of the Mets game. They were getting crushed. But, Mikey P. had started the game! I'm not happy he got crushed but I thought it was weird that I was thinking about Mikey P. and then it turned out he was pitching while I was thinking about him.

Freddy Garcia was sent down to minor league camp. That basically hands over the 5th starter's job to Livan. It's too bad I still don't remember any of the puns. As long as he can "eat some innings" then I think he'll be fine. A 5th starter isn't supposed to pitch like Cy Young. But if he did it wouldn't upset me. And maybe Tim Redding will find himself again. I hope so. I was rooting for him to win the job, but his injury killed his chance.

David, JJ, and K-Rod came back to camp but they will all get time off before playing again. David will have some time for his toenail to grow back.

And lastly, SAY NO TO THE STACHE!!!!!

Let's Go Mets!
