I am going to be posting up videos here and there from Friday’s batting practice. Here is Jose Reyes taking some swings in the cage and fielding some grounders.
Crowd shots from Sunday’s Mets-Brewers game

You own this crossed out K-Rod Mets jersey
Hilarious…yet a shame to destroy a perfectly good Mets jersey. Seems appropriate for today.
A day at the ballpark: sunshine and fire
It was beautiful out on Saturday and I had tickets so off I headed to Citi Field.
You know for an Apple that supposedly was falling apart and was hidden during Citi’s first year it sure is having a grand second life.
The game was pretty boring, and the Mets were down 7-1 so I took a walk.
Some of you are interested in the Mr. O’Met caps…the all-green one is in the stores (which is different that the official game worn one which has orange). I still would like to see what happens if the Mets try and do this sort of thing with anyone but the Irish, but anyway here’s the cap.
I also saw an honest to goodness New York Giants cap! Note the different NY the NYG’s used earlier in their lifespan.
Let us not speak of the cap on the left.
Still bored, I went out to the RF pole and took “atypical crowd shots”
Yet I was still bored. I was all set to leave when I noticed black smoke from behind the CF scorebard? Was Shake Shack on Fire? Nope, it was a tire shop and hopefully everyone is OK.
The Mets then came back to tie the game against someone named K-Rod. Then they took the lead and the place was jumping!
But Izzy didn’t have it and couldn’t save the day.
I’ll tell you when the game was 9-8 there was the proverbial electricity in the air. It actually felt like a real life “big moment” at Citi Field. It didn’t last and the Mets lost.
So home I went. My new “retro and ironic” blue swoosh jersey is 0-1. I should have worn the Undefeated Mazzilli.
