OFF HE GOES.

A POST IN TEXT MESSAGING:

Shirley in Seattle, 6:03pm: Soooo, you know that Vedder is at Shea? He apparently took BP with the M’s.
MG:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He apparently didn’t do very well… but better than most of our guys.
AUGHGHGH
[I start dialing TBF and thinking, how quickly can we get to Shea? and Why the hell do I not have my camera with me?]
is that a good AUGH or a bad one
Bad
That’s what pregame radio girl said - the source of all this
WE WERE GOING TO GO TONIGHT...but we have Mets tomorrow and PJ on Wed and Mets-Yankees Fri

Me: “We didn’t even think about it.”
TBF: “Why would he be there?”
Me: “Because he is a Baseball Guy and it’s the last year of Shea.”
TBF: “No, because he knows someone in the Mariners. If the Mariners were at Yankee Stadium and Ed was in town, he’d be there.”
Me: “He wouldn’t do that. He’s not like Springsteen.”
TBF: “I would have thought about it if the Cubs were in town.”
Me: “The cat would have thought about it if the Cubs were in town.”
TBF: “I didn’t know Ed was a baseball bigamist.”
Me: “I’m going to use that.”
TBF: “Feel free.”

I’m going to blame Vedder for Felix’s Grand Slam, because it is easier than blaming Johan.

OMG! EV doing BP at Shea tonight!?! My heart melts for him. We’re seeing PJ on Friday in CT followed by Saturday’s Mets game.

I took a look at the M’s roster. Something tells me there may be a Jarrod Washburn + EV connection, but not 100%.

But again, it is the *Seattle* Mariners, so Ed can presumably know many of their players.

MG ... let’s hook up Wed night. look for me 3rd row =)

Hey, you beat me to it, JR. Julie sent me the link and I was just about to share. It looks like early BP and not even stadium-open BP. Or at least I will console myself that it was.

I think it is hysterical beyond belief that he was out on the field at Shea wearing a FEAR t-shirt.

And yes, I will wave at you from my lowly fourth row seats… you and someone else we know.

(Remember Philly? Me thinking “who has a better fan club number than me - oh, wait, there’s JR… and the West Coast mafia")

Cool, can’t wait to see you Wednesday. I went to high school with Ted Leo (i will bring a *hilarious* yearbook photo i have of him) so i’ll be in there early to see him. for MSG ‘03 i had 2nd row, so quite possibly will have 4th row this time. typically PJ talk where we make the distance between rows seem like miles =)
