When I was 18, I started dating my first real girlfriend (girls on the back of cereal boxes tend to be a bit unresponsive once mom throws the box out, after all). Things started out great; we got along swimmingly, spent every waking moment together, and started making plans to move in together. But, after some time, the cracks in our armor began to show. She tended to slack a bit when it came to accepting my meager requests to not be so irrational. Things got a bit heated, but I accepted it because of what seemed to be before the steady decline in our relationship. I looked past it all because, after all, there were obviously things I really did like about her. Unfortunately, these delusions never really quelled just how bad things really were.
My first relationship has some striking parallels to my “relationship” with one Ike Davis. Starting off as one of the more highly touted of a crop of up-and-coming first basemen in the latter first decade

Just another day at the office for Bryce Harper on Saturday: 3-for-3, 2 home runs, 3 RBI, including that monster go-ahead home run in the eighth to bail out the Nationals against the Mets. According to hittracker, the ball travelled 433 feet. Here’s Davey:
“Harper was amazing today. He crushed a couple balls. What a day he had. That last one he hit off (Mets left-hander Josh Edgin), that was sky high and still got out of here.” (Davey Johnson, via Washington Times, 4/21/2013)
Not too shabby a start to the season for Harper: .371/.426/.758 slash line with 7 HR and 14 RBI through 16 games.
Maybe next time Harper will ding one off that bridge:

If the New York Mets are going to have any chance in the NL East this season they will need a look of good luck. Count the wife of Mets pitcher Jon Niese in the pile of fans with lucky charms.
“I’m the superstitious one,” said Leah in a recent profile by The New York Post. “I have lucky underwear — they’re Mets underwear.”
The couple got married in January after more then three years of dating.
Leah went on to talk about her first encounter with her future husband.
“He was in a cast from his ankle up to his waist,” Leah recalled. “We just started talking, and he just seemed like a down-to-earth and really sweet guy. We just took it from there.”
Leah says she tries to attend every game that her husband pitches. Last season he finished the year with a 13-9 record and a 3.40 ERA.
The first game of the MLB regular season occurs on Sunday night. The Mets will play their first game on Monday at 1:10 pm EST with Niese on the mound.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Dillon Gee stayed positive despite his tough spring for the New York Mets.
The type of outing he had Monday against the Atlanta Braves should make him feel even better.
Gee pitched six scoreless innings and struck out seven as the Mets topped the Braves 7-4. Gee had allowed 11 earned runs in his previous two starts and missed the second half of last season with a blood clot in his right shoulder.
“I’ve never gotten caught up in spring training,” Gee said. “I am just trying to be aggressive. To do well in a big lineup like I did today makes me feel good.”
Even though Gee allowed five earned runs in four innings in his last outing against the Houston Astros, Mets manager Terry Collins felt the right-hander turned a corner during that rocky outing.
“He got hit in that last inning, but he finished strong,” Collins said. “He came back to the dugout after it was over and said, I’m back.’ He showed that today.”
Gee went 6-7 with a 4.10 ERA

Posted on 21 March 2013. Tags: Ball, bowling, bowling ball, Mets, Pitcher, Shaun Marcum, Shows, sick
Mets pitcher Shaun Marcum enjoys bowling in his spare time, and I think it’s safe to assume that the right-hander is pretty good at it too, seeing that the incredibly cool, red eyed skull with a hole in its head bowling ball being shown off is the one he uses strictly for picking up spares, according to Mets PR man Jay Horowitz. This is Shaun Marcum’s new bowling ball. He uses it just for spares. It doesn’t spin as much as his strike ball. twitter.com/Jay_HorwitzPR/… — Jay Horwitz (@Jay_HorwitzPR) March 20, 2013 If that’s the one Marcum uses just for spares, I wonder what his “strike” ball looks like? Probably contains the heart of a grizzly bear that he killed with his bare hands or something. If intimidation factor is huge in bowling, then Shaun Marcum and his menacing bowling ball have it in spades.
