mets at baltimore

i was so stoked for this week cause the mets were in town! yup, the mets visited oriole park at camden yards for a 3 game interleague series against the orioles. it was a lot of fun to attend all 3 games even though the mets lost games 2 and 3. i even ended up with a souvenir....

before game 3, i went early to oriole park with my bro to check out the mets batting practice. we were sitting by center-right field, behind the scoreboard at eutaw street bleachers. beltran was amazing! he hit home runs all over the place! and fortunately, he hit a homer right towards me! i tried to bare hand it, but it hit my palm so hard i dropped it lol. although it bounced off my right hand to the row behind me, i was able to snatch it under the seats :)

game 1. tuesday, june 16: 6-4 W
i met up with my bro and 3 other friends at oriole park. it was my first visit to oriole park... and i have to say, i really liked the ballpark.. i liked it more than shea stadium! although i came a bit late, we were lucky enough to get first row seats at eutaw street bleachers for game 1. (above pic: view from my seat)

game 2. wednesday, june 17: 4-6 L
we got some good seats at left field lower box for game 2. so far, this is the closest seat to home plate for me in a ball game. i hope to get some field box seats at citi field whenever i head to new york though.

it's outta here! a solo home run by gary sheffield in the top of the 6th. 
there isn't much to see, but the audio says it all haha.

sweet wave by mets and orioles fans!

game 3. thursday, june 18: 4-5 L
what a heartbreak loss! mets were leading 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th, but 
k-rod blew it... he loads the bases, and walks adam jones, which ties the game at 4-4. and with one out, next at plate, aubrey huff singled to right field to end the game. i was very disappointed.. i thought we totally had the win. but honestly, it was a great experience. first time to see a walk-off win and blown save in a ball game haha. oh well.

p.s. sorry for the bad quality pics and vids. it was all taken by cell phone.
