Hmmm

Welcome to my blog! The plan is to post pretty much anything thats on my mind. Right now at this particular moment its.....baseball.

Lets talk about the Mets for a hot minute: Here we are 55 games into the season sitting in first place 3.5 games up on the dreaded Bravos (while we're here is there any reason a 30-something year old man is still calling himself chipper? I mean really, Larry is a pretty terrible name but its leaps and bounds better than Chipper! anyway I digress) where was I? Oh yes 3.5 games up on the braves.

The Mets are playing good ball, Reyes is being Reyes and driving opposing pitches to drink (which is better than Benitez driving me to drink....a LOT) Delgado seems to have found his swing again, same goes for Wright and LoDuca has rediscovered the art of throwing out baserunners. The pitching staff that everyone worried about has done nothing but post one of the lowest team eras in the NL and what do I really need to say about the bullpen?

So with all this great stuff going on in Queens not only is the backpage of the newspaper dedicated to the sinking skip that is the yankees but now I haveto look at A-rods mistress on the front page? I get it the Yankees are terrible. Anyone who know anything about baseball should have seen this coming. They have a terrible bullpen, the starting pitching is shaky at best. Giambi is a shell of his former self. My grandmother has a better arm than Damon. I can't even go on. But you know what - the Mets are quietly taking back the city and thats fine with me.

So lets finish off my first blog with the "top 10 don't be that guy (or girl) at a baseball game"
10. The drunked heckeler guy. You know who you are - the guy who comes out with something funny then tries to top himself the rest of the game. Usually ends up yelling incoherent nonsense from the 3rd inning on.
9. The guy who waits until its his turn to order at the conncession stand. It a baseball game guy order a hot dog and a beer and get out of my way.
8. The girl in head to toe pink team gear (usually yankee fans who can't name a player on the team other than Jeter) no MLB team wears pink and neither should any self respecting fan.
7. Anyone over the age of 13 who brings a mitt to the game.
6. The drunken rowdy fan of the opposing team. You are seriously outnumberd pal put a sock in it.
5. The guy on a suit on the phone in the expensive seats (I really hate this guy)
4. The girl wearing skintight jeans and high heels (really? you don't own sneakers? really?)
3. The "down in front" guy. Its the ninth inning your team has the tying run on 3rd I'm standing up. Don't like it? watch the game from your living room.
2. The guy (or girl) who doesn't take off their hat for the National Anthem. (just plain rude)

And the number one "Don't be that guy"

1. ANYONE WHO STARTS OR CONTINUES THE WAVE!

So thats it form my first blog. Hope you all like it.
