New homestand! New first base man! Pedro is throwing well in the Minors! Endy is coming back this week!!!
Momentum
Sweeping the Nationals was great, just what we needed to get/keep the momentum going. Now we're 5 games up and all that is left to do is to add some space between us and the Braves/Phillies. Let's go Mets!
Why Booing Your Own Team Ruins Everything
I'm slightly uptight about tonight because Maine tends to have a harder time playing at home, and more to that point, I think that the whole team tends to be a bit off while at home. My little theory is that since they know their own fans will boo them if they have a bad day, and that many of them have said that it stresses them a bit, that they sometimes will be unable to play their best because of it. I've heard a few of the players talk about how tough the crowd is, and it's a fact that Maine, among others, is better on the road. So congratulations "fans," you're encouraging your team to suck... way to go!
How Awesome it is That in Spite of our EXTREME Number of Injuries We Remain in First
There have only been a handful of days this season where the whole starting lineup was in the game and playing at 100%, and yet they have been playing great, and holding on to the number one position all this time. Every team has injury problems, it's something everyone everywhere is talking about regarding every team, it seems. But be that as it may, I'm not the only one saying that it seems the Mets have gotten more than their share of this to contend with.
The recent addition of Castillo is working out great, and DiFelice is adding value and D AND O, and now with Conine in the picture, well, let's just say that I am feeling allllll good about things right now. I am loving the Defense lately, Jose Reyes is on fire out there!
Inappropriate Levels of Excitement and How to Curb Just Accept and Enjoy Them
I'm too psyched, I think I need some decaf, or to take a walk or something... :deep breathing: Oh, I know, yoga, maybe I can get some yoga in before the game. Eh, who'm I kidding, I am well too amped up for any yoga... think I'll do some Tae Bo, paint my face with a Mets logo and head to the sports bar tonight. Woohoo, Let's go Mets!!! Wheeee!!! [unintelligible squeels of excitement, jumping around and giggling]
