March 20, 200521 yr Link to February 28th Entry | Link to March 1st Entry | Link to March 3rd Entry | Link to March 4th Entry | Link to March 6th Entry | Link to March 7th Entry | Link to March 9th Entry | Link to March 11th Entry | Link to March 12th Entry | Link to March 15th Entry | Link to March 18th Entry March 19, 2005 today was just another day. you know i checked the grapefruit league standings and we're in last. not too good, eh ? but it's spring, so maybe once the season starts and the regulars are all in the lineup, things will change. i've never really experienced it first hand on someone getting booed and called out as bad as i did today. delgado was hitting 4th in the lineup. of course i realized why they were booing him - since he was also negotiating with the mets before he signed with the off-season. i felt a little sorry for the fella too. but to each his own, i'm sure he has his own reasons (not just money) for signing with the fish. the fans were so happy when he made an out too, you'd think the mets just won the world series. d-train got a little d-railed today, but it's no biggie. he gave up 2 homeruns - one to big cat (that's Galarraga for those of you who don't know) and another to david wright. i missed the other runs since i had my back to the field down in the bullpen. we had a few opportunities to score, but things fell apart and that opportunity faded quickly. i was sure to hit a homerun had i gotten the chance to pinch hit in the game - that's if you had seen my batting practice. well i got my at-bat, and hit a weak groundball to second base. so, no homerun for me. haha. my nerves got the best of me once again, but i'm learning to control them better and better each day i spend up here and each time i step on the field during a game. i actually have gotten rid of the "yips" for the most part that i mentioned in one of my earlier entries. now i just pretend that the pitcher is just throwing a bullpen, yet this time it's on the field. it's mind over matter in this game - a strong one will make you, a weak one will break you. so, after the game was over, some of us showered, some of us waited to get back to jupiter before showering - it's only a 40 minute bus ride, if that. and like most of the road trips, we had pizza for a post-game meal. not my thing if you ask me. there's 2 things i don't like - pizza and sodas. sodas just aren't good for you, and pizza, well, it isn't either, but after rookie ball you get burnt out on it. also, met some other readers today. they never told me their board name, just that they liked my journals. thanks again guys.
March 20, 200521 yr 2 things i don't like - pizza and sodas. Damn, I drink soda like if it was water!
March 20, 200521 yr Jorg, I was the guy that said whats up with the little kid you gave an autograph to like in the 6th inning, that was cool, the kid liked it.
March 20, 200521 yr Great Journal Jorgy. You dont like pizza? Thats one of my favorite things to eat. I guess if I ate pizza everyday I would get tired of it too. I agree soda's are pretty bad for ya...but I love Root Beer. I am mostly a water girl :lol I wonder who you met today, you will probably find out soon See ya tomorrow :thumbup
March 20, 200521 yr d-train got a little d-railed today 715604[/snapback] The next dream job winner I tell ya.
March 20, 200521 yr see jorg. after a while the awe wears off and you just settle in and play baseball. you've been doing it your entire life, just treat it that way. granted its a huge opportunity, but as more and more get cut down you remain dood. keep it up. remember you are the best defensive catcher in the system and thats generally considered the most important part of catching along with the calling of the game for the pitchers. hard work dood...it always pays off. jorg would rather have a beer over a soda
March 20, 200521 yr Them met fans are just envious. They wont be so chipper later on in the season...Im sorry to hear about your "non-homer", youll get it next time. Just relax and think about playing baseball, and youll get it. Were all cheering for ya.
