Xady Watch - Week of July 24
Since our last report, Who has raised his average a point, and hit two more dingers. Still sixth among the everydays, Who is batting .266, and he has reached a career-high in home runs with 14. One was an all-important three-run shot that gave them a win against the Reds. Well done, Xady.
Meanwhile, the Mets are hovering right around twenty games over .500, which compared to their difficulty in staying more than three games above .500 last year is pretty impressive.
Their cushion, on the other hand, has shrunk. The Braves are only eleven-and-a-half back. That's a lot, don't get me wrong. But the Braves are creeping back into this thing, and after fourteen straight seasons of watching the Braves win the division, let's just say that I'm keeping an eye on that Tomahawk Chop bullshit.
Although, considering that much of Queens is still in a brown- and black-out situation, maybe I should take heart that there's power at Shea. ConEd's got their priorities straight, apparently. Screw Sunnyside, Astoria, Hunter's Point, and LIC. Flushing's gotta host the Mets games!

Tha tomahawk chop thing would be absolutely nauseating if it weren't so deliciously and moronically redneckish. ...The Mets still have many, many games left with the Braves. I don't think the Mets will collapse and lose the division, but the Braves will probably make the wild card, in which case I will be very afraid.
