They still had them to give out when I checked out the autograph line sometime in the second inning.<br /><br />(Here from Inside Pitch, btw; my own sports blog is as the far-flung correspondent for Mets Nation, and my day with Daryl was reported there, or rather <A HREF="http://community.livejournal.com/metphistopheles#item119654" REL="nofollow">here</A>.)Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999541621680032978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-28056380163846505312009-05-27T19:34:08.692-04:002009-05-27T19:34:08.692-04:00Truth be told, I was trying to get there around no...Truth be told, I was trying to get there around noon, but I fell back on my reputation of being notoriously late for everything and didn't get there as planned.Goose's Roosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01711636713305509001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-87803403304258964632009-05-26T23:21:24.832-04:002009-05-26T23:21:24.832-04:00Jon, if it had been after the bobble head for myse...Jon, if it had been after the bobble head for myself I probably would've waited until much later. But I just wanted to be sure to get one since it was going to be a gift. I'm glad you were able to stroll up to the gate at your leisure :P I wouldn't have been doing anything that interesting at home anyway, I guess.<br /><br />Lee, enjoy Fernando. He was pretty much the only thing entertaining we had to watch so boo to you and the Mets.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-36378657310228810822009-05-26T16:32:34.132-04:002009-05-26T16:32:34.132-04:00Not to rub it in or anything, but I showed up at 1...Not to rub it in or anything, but I showed up at 12:50, walked in with no line, and collected my bobblehead. <br /><br />However, there was no chance of me standing in line for an autograph. The line was all the way out to the gate closest to right field by the time I got there.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713969701255653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-56825128221234563712009-05-26T08:20:26.834-04:002009-05-26T08:20:26.834-04:00Despite the Bisons not being good, it looks like t...Despite the Bisons not being good, it looks like there's still a pretty decent crowd in the stands. But like you said, there are worse (and more expensive) ways to spend a gorgeous day. <br /><br />That bobblehead looks pretty nice. The Bisons have done some good ones over the years, with my favorite being the Tim Russert one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565188346733253404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-2868488408990843312009-05-26T02:58:51.042-04:002009-05-26T02:58:51.042-04:00Awesome!

I knew Darryl was going to be there in person but I didn't know if he was signing anything or if they would be charging money so I didn't push my luck. You're definitely the best big sister I've ever had! Maybe I'll repay you whenever Pittsburgh gets around to having an Andy Van Slyke bobble head day.<br /><br />The Mets are struggling with injuries and some bad defense so naturally the Bisons decided they were going to suck and not be much help. At least the "Fernanchise" is getting up there in the league leaders in home runs and RBI. Niese actually has a higher ERA for Buffalo than he does in his Major league starts this year.Lee Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-88804160461110441772009-05-25T23:51:21.373-04:002009-05-25T23:51:21.373-04:00Patty, it's definitely one of the better bobble he...Patty, it's definitely one of the better bobble heads I've seen. They made an effort.<br /><br />I thought it was very nice that he called me sweetie. I even told a couple of people, "He called me sweetie!" But that seems to go on less up here than down south so I just wanted to clarify that I thought it was cute and not condescending.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-81164239260649921352009-05-25T23:39:04.626-04:002009-05-25T23:39:04.626-04:00What a cute bobble-head!
