baseball state of mind skip to main skip to sidebar baseball state of mind thursday march 21 2013 a cool and drizzly night at the astros spring training ballpark in kissimmee carlos pena hit a two run hr in the first inning off dillon gee i think gee s struggles continue this spring there are better writers out there to describe the rest of the game look at metsblog com the only other highlight i will mention is the triple by matt dan dekker love triples posted by nymetsfan at 7 49 am 1 comment friday march 15 2013 spring training 2013 getting ready for a mini spring training trip i say mini because in the past i would go for 8 full days and catch nine games but moving back to tampa has changed that here is my itinerary for next week s trip 3 20 mets at astros night game 3 21 cards mets 3 22 mets marlins night game 3 23 nats mets 3 24 tigers mets ss that s it five days five games counting last week s trip to clearwater to see the rays take on the phillies and the rays final spring training game at the trop that will be seven spring training games for 2013 i will post photos and updates as the week goes on i do need to get the truck into the shop before i go to get the a c checked out before i leave or it is going to be a miserable trip the weather is mild this week but i know that as soon as next week rolls around it will be hot posted by nymetsfan at 10 44 am no comments friday march 25 2011 dust dust cough cough i haven t posted since late 2009 oh where does the time go so much has happened to me and so much has happened to the baseball world i m not going to rehash the past i just like to keep it in perspective anyway i ve already been to four spring training games here s the photographic evidence rays vs phillies at brighthouse field clearwater i also had a great seat at a night rays yankees game the weather was incredible the beer was cold and the ticket was free i was also able to check another spring training venue off my been there list i went to ft myers to see the rays take on the minnesota twins i liked hammond stadium they had some interesting food carolina dog has pork and slaw on it yum and cheese curds not for me the place was packed in fact i believe every game i ve been to this year was a sell out now i m remembering why i don t blog i don t type well or fast it takes me a long time to bang something like this out and it s not even remotely interesting so here s more pics rays jays speaking of photos i bought a great new camera it s a panasonic fz100 it s got some great features for a camera that is essentially a point and shoot really it s closer to a dslr than a point n shoot it shoots great photos and full hd video not that i shoot much video with it i ll probably try some this weekend so that s all i got for now i will try to make some entries while i m out this weekend i promise posted by nymetsfan at 7 42 pm no comments tuesday september 29 2009 i was given these two cards by one of the instructors i work with he brought in a large stack of 1950 s bowman that he s had since he was a kid i put them in penny sleeves for him he let me pick two that i liked i picked the enos slaughter because it was a double the other enos was in much better condition i felt guilty enough taking these i picked the westrum from a small stack of giants the ny giants were my dad s favorite team when he was growing up and westrum was the manager for the mets between casey and gil it seemed like the right card there weren t any big stars in the group nor would i have taken those there was a pesky a doby antonelli i advised him to take the cards to a card shop here in town if he was interested in selling them they could tell him what they might be worth but he s decided to keep them because he just found out he s going to be a grand dad i like that much better the cards are not in great shape but i like them because right now they are the oldest cards i possess and because of the way i obtained them i always think of joe when i look at them anyway i share this because like the mets this blog is limping into the end of the season posted by nymetsfan at 7 27 pm no comments wednesday august 19 2009 the good the bad and the ugly i was going to post this last night figuring the mets would lose to the braves lo and behold the mets scored a record high 8 runs in one inning and won the game it was great but the good the bad and the great just didn t work so i didn t post 24 hours later the mets haven t disappointed me they are losing to the braves 14 2 right now so here it is the good the bad and the ugly the good a package from joe at i am the average joe he contacted me out of the blue a week ago and sent me a link to the cake he made for opening day it was a reference to the cake my wife made me for my birthday anyway joe buzz sawed my 2008 u h series wants to a sliver of the cards i needed joe s a met fan so i m sure he s feeling as bad as i do about the mets season joe i have a package on the way many thanks the bad the ny mets line up angel paga n luis castillo gary sheffield daniel murphy jeff francoeur fernando tatis omir santos anderson hernandez t his is not a major league line up they are pieces to a team bench players aaa players and trade fillers i m looking at you anderson i really like d murphy at first but he has to be surrounded by a strong team with good defensive skills francoeur has always impressed me with his arm in right field i always thought the braves should fire a cannon shot when he throws now the mets should do it it would upset the runner coming into homeplate as for the rest of the team if they aren t around next year i won t miss em tatis is 1 30 with two outs and runners in scoring position come on sheffield needs to be a dh in the al or in old folks home don t get me started on castillo or pagan santos is a back up catcher the ugly braves and mets august 19th 15 2 final ouch posted by nymetsfan at 9 19 pm 1 comment sunday july 26 2009 they say it s your birthday yesterday was my birthday how old am i 42 what a non significant number but a number of good things did happen to me on my birthday not big things just nice 1 i got birthday cards from family members 2 my wife got the oil changed in my truck i hate doing stuff like that while she was out getting stuff to make me a birthday cake 3 a birthday cake shaped like a baseball 4 watched the 1976 all star game on mlbtv 5 had dinner at a great pizza place in n charleston evo pizza 6 mets beat astros 9 3 really nine to one but k rod gave up a two run homer in the ninth he hasn t had many save opportunities lately and is probably rusty 7 night owl sent me a huge stack of 09 topps and some other mets thanks greg so let s see what greg sent shall we 41 2009 topps series 2 base cards from my want list that s one card for each year i have successfully navigated with those cards and a few i picked up at target that cuts my series 2 want list in half very thoughtful greg thank you here is the other random mets goodness a 2009 ud johan santana great photography a 1986 topps doug sisk the only card in the bunch that i already had a reminder of happier days for the metropolitans here are cards for sets i ve started tim teufel another met from the good old days i got tim s autograph last year or was it the year before my memory is going he was the manager for the savannah sandgnats now he s the manager for the st lucie team willie randolph dave gallagher did you know that both of these guys were born in nj matter of fact so was i 42 years ago dave magadan he was born in tampa fl i already knew that i spent my formative years in st petersburg fl that s right across tampa bay from tampa st pete is where the rays play not in tampa sorry i m getting cranky in my old age magadan is the hitting coach for the rays rival red sox i saw him in the dug out at the playoff game last year but was too far to get a photo carl everett was also born and raised in tampa i didn t know that carl now plays for the newark bears he didn t play for the mets for very long there s a nice post about carl on paul s random stuff blog i hope he doesn t mind me linking to it paul i mean not carl finally 09 goudey d wright he looks like some sort of alien still i like the card i will spend the rest of the weekend sorting and counting and collating and wondering what the next 42 years will bring posted by nymetsfan at 8 54 am 1 comment wednesday july 22 2009 dismal i haven t posted in over two weeks if you re a mets fan you ll understand so why am i posting on the day that brings disturbing news about a member of the mets front office staff and another pathetic performance against one of the worst teams in baseball because my friend at nightowl cards emailed to inquire about my 2009 topps series 2 needs i sat down and did a survey of what i had and what i needed as i watched another mets loss the quick answer is i need more than i thought the long answer is at this link thanks to greg btw let s hope the dodgers can keep on winning i couldn t stand another season of the phillies or the braves in the ws posted by nymetsfan at 10 08 pm 1
