Alright, let’s talk about keeping track of those Padres vs Mets games recently. It turned into quite the little project for me, not gonna lie.
It all started because I’ve got a buddy who’s a die-hard Mets fan, and well, I lean towards the Padres. So naturally, when they were scheduled to play, the usual friendly trash talk started heating up. I decided I really needed to follow this series closely, like, pitch by pitch if I could.
My Game Plan (Sort Of)
First thing I did was check the schedule. Okay, games mostly in the evening, which is tricky with work and family stuff. But I was determined.
- Step 1: Set reminders on my phone like 15 minutes before each game started. Simple stuff.
- Step 2: Made sure my go-to sports score app was updated. You know, the one that gives live updates.
- Step 3: Tried figuring out if I could actually watch any of the games. Sometimes they’re on local channels, sometimes it’s that national broadcast stuff, sometimes it feels impossible to find legally without seventeen different subscriptions.
The Actual Experience
So, game day comes. First game, I think I managed to catch the first couple of innings on TV before I had to help with dinner. Then it was back to constantly refreshing the score app on my phone. Every buzz, I’m grabbing the phone. Felt a bit like an addict, honestly.
The updates were key. Seeing who was pitching, who got a hit, score changes… it was the next best thing to watching. I remember sneaking glances at my phone during a meeting – probably not my proudest moment, but hey, Padres vs Mets, right? My buddy was texting me non-stop too, especially when the Mets were doing well. My phone was blowing up.
Finding a reliable stream for one of the later games was a whole adventure. I clicked around a bunch, ended up on some weird sites that probably gave my computer a headache, before finally finding a grainy feed. Better than nothing, I guess? Watched a couple of innings like I was peering through fog.
Throughout the series, it was this constant juggling act: checking scores, trying to watch bits and pieces, texting my friend, and doing actual life stuff. It wasn’t exactly relaxing, but it was definitely engaging. You get really invested when you’re tracking it that closely, even if it’s just through little updates on a screen.
In the end, keeping up with the Padres vs Mets matches was more effort than I expected. It wasn’t just about the games themselves, but the whole process of trying to stay connected to them in the middle of everything else. Kinda fun, kinda crazy. Definitely kept me on my toes.
