IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

[Frayed Knot]

Nothing is sillier than announcers quoting a guy's stats in interleague play and thinking it's meaningful.

That's right!
Put the fear of God into em K-Rod!

Good times in Charm City tonight. The park was teeming with Mets fans. I'd venture a guess at least a 50-50 split between fans, with Mets fans the more vocal of the two factions.

Couple of miscellaneous observations:
Rod Barajas warming up with Henry Blanco before the game by throwing knuckleballs.

Adam Jones of the Orioles is a *really* solid defensive player and reminded me of what it's like to watch Beltran patrol the outfield.

Remembering the Francisco-meltdown the last time the Mets were at Camden, I was genuinely fearful when Wieters strolled up as a pinch hitter.

Just got home after a brief stop here:

I was at the game too. Last-minute decision made after monitoring weather reports. My second time at Camden Yards, and the first time since 1992. (I think this is a personal record for longest interval between visits to a particular ballpark.) We slept over in a hotel 7 miles from the park, near BWI and breezed home this morning on the empty highways. As stated above, lotsa Mets fans at the game. I didn't see a great variety of food choices once you got off Eutaw Street and into the actual park. Just a lot of sausages, pizza, hot dogs, nachos, and funnel cake. There was a "deli" on the upper level, but all they sold was pizza, hot dogs, sausages, and nachos. So much for getting a corned beef on rye with a pickle.

Where were the crabcakes? Did I somehow miss them?

Now that I've attended this game, I'm getting even more e-mails from the Orioles than I do from the Mets.

"Here's a recap of the game you attended!"

"Was there anything you forgot to buy?"

"We hope you had a great time at the game!"

I just tweeted the same thing.

[bmfc1]

I got all those emails too. The Orioles are wondering if we'll call them.

[Guest themetfairy]

The Twins sent me similar e-mails after our recent trip.

[TransMonk]

The Brewers did the same to me.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Phils continue to do the same to me, and it's been two years.

I delete them as hard as I can.

I voluntarily signed up for Phils emails. They like to do sneaky last-minute type presales (such as for the possible play-in game in 2007) so I figured I'd get myself on the list just in case.

[soupcan]

I bought a suite at Petco for a game 2 years ago (Billy Wagner/Tony Clark game - ugh) and they called me like clockwork once each month from March to September last year. I've already heard from them three times so far this season.
