Good job by @sclevine pulling this one off the tv last night!

There’s something happening at Citi Field
Last night was everything I had hoped for (and blogged about). A great hang, a solid game.
For the first time since I think Opening Day 2009 I had to wait on line for a urinal. For the first time since like 1988 there were other people walking from Citi Field to Corona after the game. For the first time since Opening Day 2012 we had to sit in our actual seats rather than spread out across an empty road. There were actual people at Citi Field.
The atmosphere is positive and if you’re this guy, looks like you picked the wrong off-season to stop rooting for the Mets.
The Post is writing frontrunner stories about how amazing Santana and Dickey are. I bet they’d be just as quick to write about how stupid the Wilpons were for trusting their season to a journeyman knuckler and a guy with a rebuilt shoulder.
Not much talk about how the bankrupt stupid Mets will be trading David Wright in June. Seems the mainstream has learned about the club option for 2013. Wait until they hear about Dickey’s!
I’m loving this season, but I loved last season too.

The Mets make a crappy day better
I’ve written about this before but after a frustrating “real life” day I thought I’d do an emotion-share.
Man I can’t wait to get to the ballpark.
During the winter’s negativity I pleaded with the boycotters not to give up on the baseball part of it. Winning is a luxury and so far this season the gods have been kind.
I like going to the park.
I had an annoying day but once I left work I took of the Clark Kent suit and put on my Mazzilli jersey. I’m looking forward to hanging with Media Goon. I’m hoping the shake line isn’t bad and if it is I will take a run at tacos.
I’ve made some friends, many of them bloggers or t-shirt guys or both, some twitter friends and/or readers. I like the hang.
Even when I’m home and it’s just on twitter I like the hang. I miss the hang when I have to miss the hang.
I liked going to the all time team event. I like writing my silly thoughts on the site and like even more that you find it interesting. I like going to games which is why I bought the 15er.
It’s a nice enough warm summer night. Santana on the mound, friends, two beers (not eight), some food, 100 or so tweets, take some pics, maybe a blog post, a “free” t-shirt, #imwith28, a folk hero in Dickey, hanging with the tribe – all good things. All make me happy
That the Mets are in position for a playoff berth makes it even better.
Faith will be rewarded. Enjoy baseball. Sometimes 1984 shows up when you least expect it.

Catch-up: Mr. Met gives blood
Thanks once again to @mediagoon for minding the fort while I was away. A few things to catch us all up starting with this one via Mets Facebook:
The Mets held their annual Summer Blood Drive (last week) at Citi Field with the New York Blood Center. Thanks to Mets fans, we collected 598 pints of blood! Fans who donated got two tickets to a Mets game, and some even met America’s favorite mascot Mr. Met! Gallery: http://atmlb.com/KNH50w
