Game 73 - Yankees 4, Mets 2

This day started with me headed south to my sister's place to meet my friend Dru, driving up from Sarasota for the briefest of stays. In fact, he was in the city of Atlanta for about a total of 5 hours.

Fortunately for him, 3.5 of that was spent in Turner Field. Well, fortunately if you are a Braves fan since that's who eventually won the game.

Let's run through the highlights.

- Pretty good peanuts, but not worth $6.25.

- Pretty good seats for the upper deck, especially since they were shaded from the outset on a very sunny day that would reach about 94 degrees in the sun.

- Walked around the the patio/bar in center field, had a Sam Adams and watched an inning with a decent view, but the sun beating down.

- Walked behind home plate in the concourse, next to a guy that paid $20 to stand while we paid two dollars less to sit and then walk to where he was and stand next to him.

- With the Sox down to their last out and Mike Gonzalez with two strikes on the batter, some idiot decided that was the time to run onto the field. The problem was, however, that instead of heading for center field and prolonging his 15 seconds of fame, he decided he was a SEC running back and tried to cut back between the two security guards that followed him on the field from the left-field line.

Idiot.

As for the Mets, I'm not even gonna dignify that horrible monstrosity with a response. Sloppy play in the first inning to allow three runs. Horrible at-bats against a struggling Wang and didn't take advantage of the few opportunities they had.

Let's not even get on nine walks in the final four innings, including Frankie walking Mo Riveria with the bases loaded.

To quote the immortal Jay-Z, what more can I say?
