Time For A Vacation

Okay so I first want to start off with some things that I forgot to mention yesterday.  First I have never worn the away teams hat to a game before and it was a lot of fun.  There were a lot of other Dodger fans in our section and I felt special.  Second thing that I forgot is that a foul ball landed right behind my seat and some old guy took it.

Now, I know that I have been discussing the Mets a lot and not the Yankees but I am very disappointed in the last two game since it is basically physically impossible for them to win against the Angels.  Just a couple notes about last nights game.  We went to the game when the gates opened so we got there right around 4:50 (actually 10 min after the gates open), it was lunchbox day so we all got lunchboxes.  Later I went down with my sister the Mets fan to the first couple of rows.  After the Mets stopped taking batting practice Mike Pelfry, my sister’s favorite player, came over to sign autgraphs.  Now my sister just happend to be wearing her Pelfry jersey so being the wonderful sister I am I held all her stuff for her and made her take off her jersey so that he could see it.  Now once she had been holding it up for a little while these two guys come over and go, “Come on, he has to sign his own jersey.”  And so while we tried to make our way farther up one of the guys already had so the said to give it to them and they would get it to him and they did, and they gave it back, and my sister now has a signed Mike Pelfry jersey.  Later in the already exciting pregame, my brother got a ball during batting practice which wasn’t nearly as exciting as what just happened but still cool.

Last thing about the game.  Now I am sure at this point most of you know that in the first inning Jay Bruce fractured his wrist.  What you may not know is that one of the new features in the stadium is that there are TVs all around the stadium playing the SNY broadcast throughout the game, so when SNY replayed the play where Bruce hurt himself you could hear an entire stadium 40,000 people groan in sympathy.  Now I don’t know if you have seen it but it looked bad.
