Today's Mets game:
<3 Johan <3
But today's performance aside, I was at the game on Wednesday ... and I brought my camera. The seats maryling had gotten were like 6 rows off the field about 10 feet behind first base. Which means that this is the space all the Mets stretch out on before the game. Which means I got some crazy awesome photos.
Just so you know - there's 41 photos under this cut. All of them were 'reduced' so their largest side was 600 pixels. I promise that, if you're patient and let them load, it will be worth the wait. With the photos you also get my own comments and some slash too :)
Well it's good to see that the Mets were kind enough to give Milledge a job once his head got too inflated to be able to play baseball:
The 'lazy' guy of the grounds crew:
Yay! We have players! And of course, Jose is the first guy out on the field to stretch out:
And out comes Argenis Reyes and Church. Umm, not quite sure what kind of stretch Church might be doing there.... :
Daniel Murphy cames out to join.
And this is where I start fangirlling over my camera and how sexy it is - everything is so crisp and the colors are almost more vivid than in RL.
It's a race between the Reyes - and while Argenis may have a lead, we all know who is ultimately going to win it:
Some random pics of Murphy using the trainer to stretch with Reyes&Reyes in the bg:
Jose - so fast he out runs my camera's shutter:
For the Daniel Murphy fangirls out there:
The Cubs player seems confused in the bg there, while Argenis does his best flamingo impression (oh yeah and more Murphy ass):
Apparently Church is good "friends" with the trainer:
Jose seems happy to find nothing has shifted during flight:
Murphy: "Ole!"
Is that a tin of gum (or chew) in your pants or ...?
Now the fangirls can start screaming. David Wright has made his appearence, and just as I snap the picture? He trips over the grass and falls flat his face. And I have it all captured for posterity :)
As the trainer runs over, half the crowds shits their pants in worry and horror.
Once acertained the man is ok, let the ribbing begin! First up: Jose of course! Get your David/Jose hats ready.
And my absolute favorite photo from the night (the hose in the bg is a nice touch, don't you think?):
Church gets in on the act and flops around to make fun of David:
Schneider comes over to get in a few licks before David can finish tying his shoes:
Showing off his 'scars':
Smug for some reason ;) :
Church's ass:
Two for the price of one - Daniel and David's asses:
David's million watt smile (omg my camera is so sexy! Look at how crisp the photo is ::huggles camera::):
Time for the National Anthem ... I have 10 shots of them during the anthem, and this is the only one where Delagdo shows an ounce of respect for what's going on.
Seems like the guys like to flash their smiles while working with the trainer - here's Delagdo showing off his:
The low man on the bullpen totem pole. Hell we have so many ppl in there now, I have no clue who the hell this is:
Our fearless leader for the night (although his new haircut is fearful ... Ollie doesn't do mohawk well):
After paying player's salaries, the Mets have no money left over to pay for anything else. So on off days Santana becomes a security guard:
(Just in case anyone believed me - that was totally sarcasm on my part. The guard just looked like Santana.)
Let the game begin!
Sometime later, Ollie gets to pretend he knows how to run the bases:
When the bases were loaded and Carlos Delagdo came to the plate ... it suddenly felt like the playoffs at Shea. Everyone was on their feet. There was a major crowd reaction to every pitch. And when Carlos hit the ball, there was that few seconds of "omg will this happen?!" silence before the place exploded in cheers they could have heard back in Chicago.
This guys smiles like he's going to come find you and eat your left arm right off your body. But he'll do it all with this smile:
Omg there was this kid sitting to the left of us. I swear he looked like Nick Evan's love child who hasn't been allowed to sleep for a week.
The child:
Nick Evans:
You know you're bullpen sucks when you have this many ppl in it (and not one person you can depend on >.< )
And for one night and one night only - John Maine takes in the game all by his lonesome out in the bullpen:
So the Mets lost in a game that they should have won. But our pitching blew it - the story of the 2008 season.
<3 Johan <3
