Welcome to Shea Shawn Green!
We got to the ballpark early and sat in the first row of the Mezz behind the right field foul pole hoping the rain would end. After a while we got our wish and the game started with only a 30 minute delay. The game got rolling and both pitchers were throwing strikes for the first 3 innings.
Dave Williams looked good. But Shawn Green in his second at bad on his Mets debut got an RBI single just after Lo Duca tripled in Reyes (how cool is that?) and Wright saced in Lo Duca. The crowd gave him standing ovation. Fans shouted “Green! Green!” New York wants Green to succeed and he is excited to be here. I felt a good vibe. He provides good protection for Wright, so I think it might just work out.
Mets up 3-0.
I then traveled around the entire stadium trying to get Kathleen a “Mrs. Wright” jersey to no avail. Somehow the bottom of the Cards order made it 3-2 and a close game.
After a Delgado home run the Mets were up 5-2. Jose Reyes added an insurance run in the 8th with an RBI single.
Jose Reyes had three hits and an RBI and stolen base. He is the most exciting player in baseball. I would actually say he is the MVP candidate. Reyes is on track to bat .300, have 90 RBI, 70 SB, and 20 HR. He is the spark of the Mets. He is the most exciting player to watch. Reyes wins games for you with both power and speed. Vote for Reyes for MVP!
Our hot dog vendor came to visit us in the bottom of the 8th in the Mezz but no free dogs.
Easy 9th and the Mets won 6-2 and swept the first place Cardinals.
