Red Sox vs Mets Series Review

Throw Me Into Oncoming Traffic

Dean’s Corner

I have not really gone to Citi Field the past five years. However, on Monday I was dragged kicking and screaming to go watch the Red Sox play the Mets. My cousin is here from London and they wanted to see what a baseball game was like.

I knew there was nothing there for me, except pain and tragedy. I was right.

First, I battled food poisoning( Shrimp and Salmon pasta from an Irish restaurant, I deserved the pain.)

Second, I battled the traffic from the US Open. I have never met a person who actually watches tennis, so there is a real chance they were paid actors.

Third, I battle my girlfriend still arguing to get a band for our wedding, while I was sitting in traffic with cold sweats from the shrimp and salmon.

Lastly, I watched a team that can’t make routine plays in the field led by a pitcher whose arsenal includes 1.5 pitches.

Overall Takeaway

Game 1- Mets 4-1

Game 2- Mets 7-2

Game 3- Mets 8-3

What I Loved

• The hot dog I had during the third inning.

  • It was great and I loved it. Settled my stomach after the shrimp and salmon pasta.

• Tyler O’Neill’s Biceps In Person

  • I had to tell my fiancé to look away when Tyler came to bat. Hot diggity dog.

What I Was "Mid" About

• Starting Pitching

  • I actually enjoyed watching Bello pitch in person and at times on Monday he looked like an ace. Crawford was great, and Houck was serviceable with a bunch of strikeouts. The pitching isn’t the reason this team just got swept. It is the lack of hitting

• Being .500

  • The definition of “Mid”

What I Didn't Love

• The 3 year old kicking me during the game from behind, and the fan next to me wearing a Mets hat and Red Sox jersey

  • I won’t say a 3 year old should be thrown into the sun. However, an adult fan WITH A GLOVE wearing a Mets hat and Red Sox jersey belongs in the deepest circle of Dante’s Inferno.

• Rafael Devers Still Playing

  • I spoke briefly on this last review, but I think it is time to shut down Devers. He has been struggling with his shoulder all year and just with the eye test you can tell that he is hurting.

• Benching Masataka For Devers

  • Yeah, lets take the guy who has been playing great and sit him for the player with a shoulder that seems about to fall off. Smart move! How did that work out in the spring?

• The Amount Of Double Plays

  • Ending three innings in a row tonight with double plays was only the tip of the iceberg. Every game was just full of them ( I am looking at you Connor Wong)
