1. I’ve been following Joe Petruccio’s blog since its inception and find myself going there first thing after a big loss (or a dismal failure) to see how he’s interpreted the events in his own unique style. It’s honestly my favorite Mets blog in a long time.

Mets v Nationals
7-3-10
Nationals Park
It’s all fun and games until somebody pokes an eye out. Or, to put it another way, until Frankie comes in for the save on the road.
I need a day or two to get through the Target Field photos, but I will leave you with two for now:
This was my unfortunate view when Zumaya went down with his elbow injury Monday night.
Me and my close personal Twitter friend T.C. Bear!
Minneapolis is a wonderful, wonderful place to watch a baseball game. The full report soon.
Mets v Twins
6-25-10
I was all by myself at the start of the game up in 514. TBF was in the Shake Shack line, and so it was up to me, and me alone, to boo the opposing team’s starting lineup as it was announced. Unless we’re playing the Phillies or the Marlins or some other obvious enemy, no one in 514 seems to care enough.
The issue with this, of course, is that the Twins are the closest thing I have to an AL team. And Monday night, I will be wearing a Joe Mauer shirt and sitting in Target Field, as I root for them to win against the Tigers. (It’s a long story, and it’s Bono’s fault.) But tonight I was home, and I dearly wanted the Mets to win this game. So, as Alex Anthony intones, “The catcher, Joe Mauer,” I respond: “BOO!”
(You know, I really was trying. But it’s Joe Mauer. It’s like booing a puppy. The Twins fans call him “Baby Jesus”.)
“The first baseman, Justin Morneau.” “Um…BOO!”

Don’t Stop The Voting
(For David Wright)
Just a Smithtown girl, livin’ in a lonely world
She took on a midnight campaign to get David in the All Star Game
Just a Virginia boy, tonight he lost to Detroit
But he is still an All Star, vote for him anyway
A manager in a press conference room
With him in charge you’d think we’re destined for doom
But you’d get a smile if you saw David Wright
The hits go on and on and on and on
Teammates In The Community : Thursday, June 24 – Animal Rescue and Adoption
The Mets will help take care of cats and dogs up for adoption at a midtown Manhattan animal shelter in support of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, a coalition of more than 160 animal rescue groups and shelters to end the killing of healthy and treatable cats and dogs.
The players volunteering at today’s event were Jeff Francoeur (who arrived on foot, happily explaining that he didn’t live far away), Mike Pelfrey and Francisco Rodriguez. The destination was the Humane Society of New York, where a gaggle of volunteers, convincingly dressed in blue and orange, introduced the players to a selection of dogs and cats being cared for by the shelter.

There is also no reason that Steve Phillips shouldn’t debate him, except that Steve Phillips is a big wuss.
I do not agree with Mr. Megdal’s continued advocacy of Pedro Martinez, but he is a voice of sanity when it comes to Jenrry Mejia.
Mets v Tigers
6-22-10
I was seriously not pleased when the rain started falling in Flushing. I wanted a pitchers’ duel. I wanted Verlander v Niese. I wanted the tension, to sit in my perch behind home plate and watch them paint the corners. I was ready for this. I could see high and low, I could see inside and outside. I was set. I was ready.
And then it started to rain.
