Classes started on August 25th, 2008, so I am going on my 3rd week of classes. Things are getting pretty tough, especially between work, school, and trying to actually have a life, but I’m used to that by now. Taking Physics with Chemistry is harder than I thought, but I’m getting by just fine so far. I’m praying like crazy that it will continue to be fine so I don’t get too stressed out. I think you should pray for me too! ha!
Anyway, on to more exciting things. Sunday, September 7th, several friends and I went to Shea Stadium to see a Phillies vs. Mets game.
It was pretty amazing. The Stadium, the game, the atmosphere. I thought it was just Yankee Stadium, but there really is no place like New York City. New York fans – no matter what team you like – are the best in the world; there is no better! All 8 of us had a great time; lots of laughs, lots of screaming (some of us even lost our voice!), and lots of cheering. The Mets won – as you can tell from the scoreboard – and Santana pitched a good game; Delgado helped keep the Mets on top all by themselves.
Going to Shea Stadium, makes it the 4th MLB Stadium I’ve been too. Only 26 more to go! (28 if you include the New Yankee Stadium and Citi Field – but I like to think on the bright side). I should probably somehow make it to Minnesota sometime next summer to see the Metrodome before the Twins Ballpark goes up in 2010. Although if that doesn’t happen, in all honesty, I think I’ll get over it.
And one last thing before I sign off. All I have to say is that the following standings are seriously messed up. I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that the Yankees aren’t bringing us New York fans a #27 this year. Unless of course they get off their ass to kick everyone else’s!!
Come on Yankees…some of us fans still believe in you and I think its about damn time you turned it around. Number 1 in the AL East is a long shot, but I have no problem settling for the Wildcard, not that those standings look any better.
