Win Free Tickets to Mets-Angels; Mets' Baserunning Blunders

If you want to go this Sunday's Mets-Angels game on Father's Day, a pair of tickets on Stubhub starts at $32 each. But thanks to our contest courtesy of Blimpie, two pairs of our readers will get to go for free.

Go to our earlier blog entry to enter:

Sunday's game also features the Mr. Met Dash, in which kids 12 and under can run the bases after the game. Perhaps Mr. Met can also offer remedial baserunning tips for the actual Mets. Last night brought two more blunders - Daniel Murphy getting caught off second when Mike Pelfrey missed a bunt attempt and Lucas Duda turning a sac fly into a double play (the second game in a row that the Mets managed to do that).

While you've got to be pleased with how the Mets have remained competitive under Terry Collins despite all the injuries, the shoddy baserunning was supposed to be a thing of the past. And while a singles-hitting team needs to be aggressive, they can't afford to be reckless, much less incompetent.

Also, weren't mysterious injuries that never get better also supposed to be a thing of the past? The more things change...

Contest: Win a trip to Fenway Park for Yankees-Red Sox

The site Overstock.com, a site I regularly shop at, sent us an email the other day to let our readers know about about their Ultimate Red Sox Experience contest. To me, the Ultimate Red Sox Experience is watching Jonathan Papelbon blow yet another save -- preferably against the Yankees! But Overstock has something a little different in mind. Here's the deal, from the email they sent me:

The “Ultimate Red Sox Experience” sweepstakes, created in partnership with Overstock.com and the Boston Red Sox, will give three winners all-expense-paid trips for two to see the Red Sox battle the rival New York Yankees at Boston's Fenway Park October 2nd. A grand prize winner will have the opportunity to post balls, strikes and runs on the stadium's iconic “Green Monster” scoreboard for an inning.

You can go to Overstock.com/RedSox to enter the contest. Of course, it's geared towards Red Sox fans -- many of which are regular readers of Subway Squawkers. But that doesn't mean Yankee fans can't enter. And I want to win this contest! Believe it or not, I have never been to Fenway Park, or even Boston, so this would be a cool trip to win, especially to finally see a Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway Park! And how fun would it be for this Bombers fan to run the Sox's scoreboard for an inning!

The contest ends September 10, so hurry up and enter. When you go to the site, you can also see "webisodes" showing what happens when the VP of Red Sox Nation -- and the VP of Overstock -- switch jobs. Hilarity ensues!
