Cool Tom Seaver interview

I dug this interview with Tom Seaver. He talks about pitch counts, the current rotation, being a Marine, team history.  Check it out.

I feel like I should have more to say about last night’s game.  It was a good win, I enjoyed it, I am happy – but really no comments on it.   I’m not digging the 4pm start today, that one is getting time-shifted.  It’s absolutely perfect out, stop reading some dopey blog and go outside!

19 pictures of Citizen’s Bank Park

Good morning.   I am off being Daddy, but I had all these pictures of Citizen’s Bank Park that I took earlier in the year and couldn’t think of what to do with them…so this series seems like a good excuse….and let’s face it, is anyone’s photography better than mine?   Let’s get to it:

Starting in the second row, you’ll see their center field area.  It’s fun and had lots of stuff to keep Junior occupied.

I don’t know what a Chickie’s & Pete’s is but it seems to be Philladelphian for Shake Shack, at least in terms of line.  I think I recall something like Crab Fries being offered which seemed interesting.  However, I don’t do lines.   (I’m sure i’m about to get a massive flood of education about Chickie’s & Pete’s.)

In the third row you’ll see their pitching game where the goal is to throw a strike.  Junior did.  His dad can’t.  Junior is lefty and will be coming to the Mercury Mets around 2024.

In the bottom row we see an obstructed view.  If I’m David Howard I’m adding that to my defense arsenal.

I’ll have more tomorrow because I am taking part in Actual Athletic Activity so I need a pre-written piece.   Before you roll your eyes, I have pictures of how the Phillies honor their past (is it better or worse than what the Mets do?   You’ll find out) and another stadium with Statue Technology.

Dating Mr. Met?

Here’s a very entangled post…did someone date Mr. Met II? I don’t know.  I don’t even know how to explain it.  However, you will find it interesting.

I always kind of hoped Mr. Met was secretly some hot chick.  I know, weird right?

My buddy wanted to date Seaver’s daughter who was cute last time we checked about 20 years ago.

Who else wants to admit to a weird Mets fetish?

I’m gonna hang on twitter tonight @metspolice   There’s usually some good banter.  See ya there (plus or minus Mrs. Mets Police.  I may be an inning late.)

An email: thanks for the presale

Shannon,

I just wanted to say a public thank you to the Mets for actually thinking of their account holders when it comes to the Subway Series this year.  I was able to log on this morning and get actual decent promenade seats at regular price.  Like you, I usually avoid these games but since Mrs. “The Apple” is a *cough*  Yankees fan *cough*, it is nice to be able to take her to a game without having to go through scalpers.

The way I look at it, even if the fans re-sell, it’s better if your loyal fans are the ones re-selling because if they make money, odds are good that you will see some of that come back to you down the road.  Glad to see the lottery ditched and glad to see the Mets starting to do some consistently fan friendly stuff.

Almost makes me feel bad for taking so many cheap shots in The Apple. I’d like to think they understand we’re just having some fun.

Injoy The Floating Feeling & Let’s Go Mets,
Randy
