Sidelines II

Had a good time today.. I went with Sara to drop Rene off at school and we went to the Willi Brew Pub for lunch.. The Willi Brew Pub has Murphy’s Irish Stout on tap.. It is was a little waterier than it is in Ireland, but the taste is there! I was very happy with it.. After lunch we went to the co-op so Sara could do some shopping and then had to hurry back to get Rene..

Talked with AJ for a long time tonight before the Mets game.. It was good because I had not talked to him in a long time and we had a lot of catching up to do.. Watched Boston Legal tonight, it was a great episode to start off the season, it really is one of the best shows on TV, it will be sad if it really gets cancelled this year..

Onto the Mets and the sidelines… John Maine was activated today, he pitched again this afternoon and his pitches were 92-93 MPH! We jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead but Perez gave it all back and then it became a battle of the bullpens.. The Mets had 1st and 3rd with 0 outs in the 7th and didn’t score and they had the bases loaded with one out in both the 8th and 9th with no runs scored!! The bullpen finally faltered in the 10th and the Cubs took a heart breaking game.. How do you strand 8 runners in the last three innings and expect to win? Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!!! The Brewers beat the Pirates which means the Mets and Brewers are now tied for the Wild Card. At least the Braves, let by Chipper Jones, crushed the Phillies today so we are still 1.5 games out of the Eastern division..
