So, I decided to catch the New York Mets vs San Diego Padres game today. Didn’t have much else planned, and I saw it listed, figured why not.
First thing, I got myself set up. Plopped down on the couch, you know how it is. Had to find the right channel, flicked through a few. Took a minute. Grabbed a drink, some chips too. Gotta have snacks for a ballgame, even if you’re just watching from home. Made sure the remote was right there within easy reach.
Getting into the Game
Alright, game started. Watched the first couple of innings. The Padres seemed pretty lively right out of the gate. The Mets, well, they were trying to get something going. It’s always a bit slow at the start, building up.
I wasn’t really rooting hard for either side today, just wanted to see some good baseball. Watched the pitchers do their thing. Saw a few nice plays in the field. Someone made a diving catch, that was pretty cool. Always appreciate seeing that kind of effort.
- Watched the Mets batting order try and figure out the Padres pitcher.
- Saw the Padres get a few hits strung together.
- Kept an eye on the score, obviously.
There were moments, you know. A couple of close calls on the bases. A long fly ball that almost went out. Kept me watching. Sometimes these games can drag, but this one had a decent pace for a while. You see the managers come out, the pitching changes, the usual ebb and flow.
Wrapping Up
Stayed with it pretty much the whole way through. The later innings got a bit more tense, which is usually the best part. Saw the final out recorded. Game over. Padres ended up taking it, I think. Yeah, pretty sure they won.
Overall, it was an okay way to spend a few hours. Didn’t blow me away, but it was solid baseball. Saw some good plays, killed some time. That’s really all I was looking for. Cleaned up my snack mess afterward. Just another game watched, really. Nothing too crazy to report, just sat down and watched it all unfold. Done.
