I find it somewhat poetic that as the Mets threw the last pitch of their 2011 season I was arriving at JFK to board a flight to Las Vegas to gamble and drink the sorrows of the season away. \u00a0 Last year I got married within a week of the end of the season and went on my honeymoon shortly after. \u00a0When I got back to paying attention to the Mets Omar and Jerry were gone and the Phillies and Yankees had been eliminated from the playoffs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ll still be posting some, mostly scheduled stuff, but here’s what I want to happen while I’m gone. \u00a0The Phillies and Yankees are bounced in the first round and I can enjoy the rest of the playoffs when I get back from vacation. \u00a0Dan Warthen has been let go, in favor of someone that’s going to be better. \u00a0The Mets have worked out a deal with Jose Reyes, and he’ll remain a Met for a long time. \u00a0 Johan Santana has pitched some in winter ball and has no set backs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This probably all won’t come to be, but one can dream. \u00a0After I’m in Vegas I’ll be in San Diego for a couple of days. \u00a0It’ll be my third trip to that city and I have yet to see a game at Petco Park. \u00a0I’ve toured it though, and it’s a great place. \u00a0Look for randomly tweeted pictures from around Petco next week during the day. \u00a0I’ll return the following weekend for a bachelor party, a wedding, and my own anniversary before diving back into baseball. \u00a0It’s going to be an interesting offseason for the New York Mets this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
