We are fascinated at how things can change so abruptly with a sunset or a sunrise. This cloud was one large, puffy, white, and lingering mountain above Citi Field for the hour prior to the sun setting. Then once the sun officially plunked down over the horizon the cloud was swept away.
Poof…
Gone…
Last weekend we noticed that a monarch butterfly decided to take in some of the Astros vs. Mets game at Citi Field for a few minutes.
Don’t see it?
It was very high up in the sky, conserving energy by not fluttering, and coasting along through the sky out towards the Pepsi Porch in right field… TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
There’s something about a doe-eyed gecko that appeals to everyone, and there’s something even more appealing about a giant doe-eyed gecko that makes everyone simply go, awww.
Here’s to you, Mr. Geico Gecko.
It’s not easy being a fan of the Mets for various reasons: front running fans of the Yankees try to dominate the city’s baseball talk, ownership and management seems to have had their heads up their rear ends for much of the past two decades, the new billion dollar stadium isn’t fan friendly, and several of the players don’t seem to play with any heart or love of the game.
All of these combining factors lead to a Saturday night game that has the stands looking like this…
Mainly empty! Now, we actually prefer the lighter crowds due to Citi Field being so poorly designed (or implemented) that when a large crowd is drawn to the stadium it becomes one giant bottleneck and seating is terribly uncomfortable, but the Mets are so bad that it has come to this…
A dude had to watch the game with a bag over his head. Mets, please get things together, finally!
We have a pair of Mets underwear that are serious trouble for the Mets, particularly for Mets Pitcher Mike Pelfrey. Whenever we wear them to a game, they lose and Pelf looks as though he is man without a home, scared and unsure of how he ended up at the center of a large stadium of people watching him fail miserably.
Three games that come to our mind off the top of our head are: Citi Field’s Opening Day 2009, his balk-game in San Francisco last year and his last start before the All-Star Game this year — there are others, but these three stand out the most. The Mets bad string of luck when we wear these underwear is so bad that whenever we put them on, we feel as though it’s as if we’re dooming Pelf and that the Mets are guaranteed to lose — we don’t remember them winning once when we’ve worn them.
The only humorous, silver lining to the situation is this…
Whenever we’re done with the underwear for the day post-loss, they leave an imprint of the Mets logo that lines the top of the elastic and it mocks us not only for our loss, but also for our gain in the waist area.
