Santana, Pelfrey Shut Up Sawx
They said the Mets had a knack for annoying opponents through their on-field celebratory antics.
But there is no way they could have been more irritating than Kevin Youkilis and the Sawx.
Is this man so full of himself that he thinks the Best Pitcher in Baseball purposely hit him with a two-out, two-strike pitch?
Santana’s response couldn’t have been more appropriate and more encouraging.
This guy claims to be a Gamer and he’s nothing short of it. It’s good to see some fire from the southpaw. The Mets need it now more than ever as injuries continue to fester. (K-Rod now? Really?)
Then, there’s Jonathan Papelbon.
I wonder if the Red Sox have a resident hair stylist hanging out in the bullpen.
Seriously, what’s with the perfectly done spiked hair bro?
Are you going in to close a game? Because that dew is more appropriate for a Saturday night out at the Jersey Shore.
Not to mention, it was you, Mr. Papelbon, not the second base umpire, who surrendered a home run to Omir Santos.
Get back in the dugout.
I don’t know about you, but even Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino and Co. don’t nauseate me as much as this Boston team.
Well, at least for just this weekend.
‘Penning the Story of Citi Field
A pleasant sight it was. They were. JJ Putz and Frankie Rodriguez slamming the door on the Red Sox Friday night at Citi Field albeit an exhibition game.
It’s hard to get too excited over one that doesn’t count, but it’s impossible not to jumping through the roof with excitement about these two.
How many blown saves was it last year? 29?
Although their lack of lefties in the pen is a bit unsettling, a one-two punch featuring two of the games top closers has to make fans breathe easy.
It wasn’t until Saturday when I saw Citi Field for the first time. I almost didn’t know there was a game going on. I watched Perez face two batters from my seats and that was about all any good man could handle on this day.
It was time to see what this place had to offer. Shake Shack in the left field corner was packed. The lines looked massive and frustrating.
I snuck into this rather small international food court in the right field corner. It must have been today’s best kept secret. There were four different food vendors to choose from and only six, maybe seven, patrons in the joint. I stepped right up to the counter at Mamas of Corona’s and was moments away from enjoying a turkey, fresh mozzarella, and roasted peppers hero.
Then it was back toward the seats where I ventured into the enclosed, climate-controlled Caesar’s Club. A huge social lounge located behind the press boxes in back of home plate, this space contains a number of flat screen TVs, a huge bar, couches, chairs, high-top tables, and concessions built into the back walls.
One part of the club, as my friend termed it, resembled that of a waiting area at an airport gate. Couches and benches were positioned alongside windows that looked out to what once was Shea Stadium.
There were only a few piles of rubble remaining and a few idle bulldozers which will remove the remnants in a few days.
It’s official. Goodbye Big Shea. Hello Citi Field.
If anyone ever needed a new beginning, it was the Mets and it was now considering their disenchanting demise the past two Septembers.
And what better way than to have Putz and K-Rod helping to ‘pen the story of Citi Field’s inaugural season.
