After the Maine game 161 game I called the Box Office and bought 2 tickets to the Glavine game 162 debacle. Anyway, I was able to get 2 in the Picnic Area. My buddy and I were under the bleachers for most of the game, and frankly after the 1st inning the season was officially over for me. By the 6th or 7th people started leaving and we went upstairs to the bleachers. It sounds strange,but it was kind of cathartic to sit there on what was(otherwise) a beautiful day, and just watch baseball knowing the worst was over. Nothing else bad could happen. Not to mention knowing this was the last taste of baseball I would get for 6 months. For the 8th and 9th inning when Alou ran on and off the field my buddy and I (and no one else) gave him a standing ovation and screamed 'Its not your fault Moises". I knew he played his ass off when he was out there and how much this hurt him just as much as it hurt us. Along with a few other guys I dont blame him for 2007 one bit. He hit .341 for Christs sake and gave me one of the last happy moments of 2007 with that big HR. Before he ran off the field after the top of the 9th he pumped his fist of his heart and pointed up to us. It was legitimitaly one of the coolest moments I've ever had at a park, and it officially ended the 2007 Mets for me. Anyway, maybe its not proof, but to me it was a little way of him showing that he's one of the good ones and I'm glad they brought hm back.

However, you do have to get paid to be a professional. Pros work hard because this is serious business. It's great if they enjoy their jobs as much as Wright and Reyes do, but it's not required. On the other hand, they must work hard and be professional, because as much as you love the game and are competitive, if you don't work hard and take the game seriously, you will not be successful. Isn't this why so many kids go into basketball over baseball and football to a lesser extent, because they can make money quicker. I'm sure they are just as competitive in either sport, however, they know that they'll have to sacrifice and want to be compensated for it right away. You don’t have to get paid to be competitive.

I wish Doc would get his act together. I saw an article in '06 when he was in jail around the time of the Mets 20 year anniversary of '86 and he spoke of how he regrets what he did and how he wished to be at the celebration and enjoy mothers day with his mom. It seemed like he was turning a corner because it was the first time he had actually had to pay the price for his actions. I guess it was all a show. That is truly sad.

Then there are reporters who have to write and report to exacting standards by their respective news organizations. They have to be on the ball 24/7, looking for stories, making predictions, etc. And there's Matt Cerrone, a blogger and Mets fan, possibly the only one who gets to enjoy the scene and wax poetic about it. :) In this peaceful morning, there are professional athletes that will have to train very hard to get to where they want to be, worried about injuries, or just dealing with the pressure of securing the role they want on the major league team.

If he was hanging out with Kafka, ol' Franz would probably tell him he needs to lighten up a little. I don’t think Wallace Matthews has known a single moment of joy in his entire life.
