Mets 7 Indians 2
Tuesday Night
Shea Stadium
With Alex B.
There is nothing better than going to a ballgame when school lets out for the year. Since I’ve been old enough to drive, I have tried to go to as many midweek night games as humanly possible to celebrate the coming of summer. There is a real relaxing feeling to it with the entire summer stretched out in front of me. Infinite possibilities. I love being a teacher and being on the same schedule that I’ve been on since pre-school. And who better to share the experience with than another teacher. We watched some baseball, drank some beer, and made fun of all the suckers who had to work the next day.
Steve Traschel continued to pitch well, the Mets’ bats woke up after the firing of hitting coach Denny Walling, and the climb back to .500 continued. All was right with the world.
Hey, it wasn't my fault that Jason Phillips blows!
I spent the majority of a few innings trying to figure out how to make my brand new cell phone work.
Ah, the cellphone. Wasn't this the game where we got the Thai food and snuck into the good seats, evaded the grumpy steward who wanted to see our tickets and then ended up sitting acouple of rows away from my aunt's cousin and her entire extended family on a "oh what the heck, it's a gorgeous summer night, let's all go to Shea and watch the Mets". This was the guy (Paul the Limo driver) who bought me a fantastic tool set and handyman's bag as an engagement gift. A gift that we still use on a regular basis today. Dan played with his cellphone the entire night.
