First Cespedes now Familia

What am I talking about? They both have their own custom entrance music now. I feel like I am creating a wrestler in WWE 2k16, which isn't a bad thing. I like it. Makes the team more "fun". Here is a quote from the Player's Tribune..

For the past few days, Zacarías and I have been in the studio in New York collaborating on a brand new tune — my 2016 entrance music. We’re still working on it, but trust me, it’s going to be something special. So stay tuned … this year, when I come in from the bullpen, if I’m not dancing, I’ll be singing along to the music.

Have 3 Grand(erson) Lying Around?

This is even too much dinero for me. I wonder how much it went for on the Mets auction site...It's on Ebay if you want it.

THREE FREAKING GRAND!!!!!

There was a civil parting of the ways between my cousin Shannon and myself. Just after a little over six years blogging with each other we just needed a break. Shannon actually put it well with all great bands break up for a bit. Even great tag teams split up. Difference of opinions about how some internal stuff was shaping up with the blog started to surface and we decide before we the blogosphere ran over into real life to go our separate ways for bit(maybe longer). I am still going to help him out if he needs me to return for a short run like the Rock does for the WWE. Will I ever be back full time? I learned never say never when it comes to life. For now I hope some of you readers come on over here and enjoy my writing style. I will try to post as often as I can which is usually 3-5 times a day. This counts as post number three by the way. Okay, Let's see how I can screw this up. I just feel bad I left him with @lagranderusty.....

Hit a Home Run Get Your Ticket Plan Free( in TX)

Hey Mets...Look.... Could have had this during the send off yesterday

But fear not, childhood dreamers: The Texas Rangers are holding a Swing for your Seats event to make those dreams a reality. On Feb. 20, any fans who place a 25 percent deposit on ful- or half-season ticket plans for 2016 will get three swings to try and hit a home run out of Globe Life Park. And if they manage to pull it off? That ticket plan is free for the whole season. We know, it's exciting, but before you run to the batting cage, make sure to register at texasrangers.com/homerun.

The Mets Spring Training Send Off.

Where to begin? I have to give it to the Mets for trying to come up with an event that would be fan friendly to kick off spring training and the 2016 season. But, that's where it ends. The Mets did not expect the amount of folks showing up for this event. I heard at last count they had 6500 RSVP's and then they just threw that out the window so more fans could show up. The good and bad of this. The Mets had no porto potties outside for the mass of people showing up, the lines made no sense where/how they were set up, when you exited the under five minute tour of the "come on move, move, move" of the security pushing you through the tour, you ended back at the beginning of the tour line where you couldn't really exit. Some of us mentioned it to security and they said, "what can we do?" They run out of t- shirts and ticket vouchers, the lines to the raffle tickets still went on as they were pulling tickets for prizes, and the staff in general seemed overwhelmed. My friends and I were there before 11am and were already on line before the 12 pm kickoff. I'm glad we got there early.

MJ says-

It was disorganized. someone was walking down 126th telling people to park in Lot A but yet no one was stopping anyone from going into Lot G. We were waiting on the raffle/voucher line but gave up because it was so disorganized. There wasn't really anyone giving direction or had info. I was basically told ... When you get to that area right there, just ask someone what line they are on. The idea itself was nice but for $10, you could do a Citi Field tour with less people and a timed entrance with dugout access. The whole RSVP was a joke. I think if you got there really early, it was worth it.

Becca-

It being pretty much solely outside was a nightmare. The clubhouse/dugout tour was unorganized and inconsistent (some could go into dugout, some didn't). The lines overlapped each other. After we did the tour and got Kranepool's autograph, we still waited 40 minutes for the raffle (partly bc the line was wrapped around and it was unclear how it was working). Guys in the store said they were told on FRIDAY they had to open today. In theory, it was a great concept. They either needed to strictly limit it to the RSVPs (the news got ahold of it, with no reference to RSVPing), or plan for a large crowd, especially with it being President's Day (I think it was a great idea to do it on the holiday because, generally, more people could go). It was super cold, too; they should've had it in the Rotunda and/or on the main concourse, if not the clubs.
