Mets
So I'm going to my first Mets game at Citi Field on Monday. Going to a game I feel like I need to cram for a test. I've been lacking on the game watching so I just head on to nytimes sports blog Bats to catch up on the latest of the Mets. Did you know that its been SIXTY innings since the mets hit a home run? That is shameful. Delgado is out, Sheffield sat out Tuesdays game and Tatis also stayed away. Delgado is a power home run hitter! The Mets are only playing the Nats on monday but that's not to discount the fairly new team, the first game I went to where the Mets played the nats they lost, horribly. I hate when the Mets lose a game I go to.

Spring Break
As I am currently in the midst of the most unproductive spring break ever, I think it is appropriate for me to waste time some more and post.
I love baseball. I can't help it, whether I wanted to or not, I was made to love baseball.
1. I am Dominican. As such, it is impossible for me to attend any family gathering that does not discuss some sort of baseball (either MLB or Dominican league... TIGERES!!) My grandfather played baseball and my dad played baseball (although now he plays softball). I spent Sunday mornings through most of my younger days at his adult baseball league games. I was photographed quite frequently as a toddler in an array of Mets onesises.
2. Baseball seems to have a habit of showcasing Americas most sexiest men. Case in point? David Wright. The finest 3rd basemen to ever walk this earth. ARod is not my cup of tea. Wright manages to include in one sexy package, good ball playing skills, love for charity work, the most amazing smile, and a fine fine ass. Sadly, my broke ass has never been able to purchase close enough tickets to 3rd base to have a good view of him.
3. Baseball is easy enough to get a handle of. Despite all that fantasy baseball nonsense, it is really easy to understand how baseball works. Man throw ball, man hit ball.
As a NY metro area resident, my main allegiance is to the Metropolitans (NL). However, as a Dominican, I cannot abandon my DR loving Bo'Sox (David Ortiz!). Both caps lay claim to my closet.
Here's to hoping the Mets finally pull through to reach post-season.
