The one time we celebrate bunting

It’s the Mets’ home opener, as you probably know, and right now I’m either in the clubhouse or out in the parking lot filming stuff. Some of it will be posted here this afternoon, some of it will come, I dunno, later.

Anyway, here’s to a third season at Citi Field better than the first two. I’ll be back here and posting once I’m set up in the press box. For now enjoy Prince:

Waterskiing mishaps

Sorry, it never got any less busy today so there’s not much substantive content to speak of.

Speaking of: Thanks kindly for all the survey responses. If you’ve noticed, I’m trying to embed links into link posts, since confusion over links was the most frequent complaint. Eventually I’ll also have the color of link text in posts changed to something more link-appropriate; I just have to figure out how to do that first.

As for the second most frequent quibble: I know the photos of the sandwiches suck and I apologize. I will try to be conscious of how they are lit at the very least, but I don’t think they’re going to get a heck of a lot better.

Thing is — and excuse me for taking you into the sausage factory here — I try to make sure I’m good and famished before I go get the sandwiches, because I feel like I write more passionately about sandwiches when the sandwich is really satisfying my hunger. Plus I don’t want anything I’ve eaten earlier to color my sandwich analysis.

So needless to say, by the time I take the sandwich out of the wrapper it requires all my will power to snap photos of it with my cell phone instead of just tearing into that sucker. I could buy something like this for more professional-looking photos maybe, but by the time I get that all set up the sandwich is going to get soggy and the sandwich-eating experience will be blemished.

Also, because I’m only using SurveyMonkey Lite and I’m not a SurveyMonkey subscriber, I only receive dthe first 100 responses to the poll. If you professed your undying love for me (whatup Beyonce) or lodged some very important complaint and I haven’t addressed it, it could mean I didn’t see it. You can always contact me via the form above, on Twitter, or via email at tberg@sny.tv.

Here are some people falling while waterskiing. If you don’t like Linkin Park, you’ll want to provide your own soundtrack.

ALERT: Mike Piazza doing stuff

This one comes via Mets Police. It’s Mike Piazza golfing, in a foursome with Mario Lemieux, Michael Jordan and Toni Kukoc, who can’t even get mentioned in the title of the YouTube clip.

Also — and I’m really in no position to be saying anything — is it me or does Jordan have a pretty healthy gut going there? He’s probably still better at everything* than I’ll ever be at anything; I’m just sayin’s all.

*- People like to joke about how bad Jordan was at baseball. I guarantee those same people could not hit any home runs against Double-A pitching after a 13-year absence from the game.
