A Whole Lotta Carlos
It's been weeks since I've discussed politics or baseball. So let me address the more important of the two first: baseball.
I took another trip to Shea last night and witnessed what might have been the best game I've ever seen live.
The Mets were being personally pounded by Albert Pujols, who hit three-run and grand slam home runs to put the Cardinals up 7-1. Oh, but Carlos (of the Delgado sort) was not to be outgunned by Albert. He hit a grand slam of his own (his second home run of the game and 400th of his career) to bring the Mets back to within two.
And then, in the 9th, Carlos (of the Beltran variety) hit a two-run walk-off home run to win the goddamn game.
My goodness, but it was a thrill. I think it was my first live walk-off experience. I'm still buzzing this morning.
So with that and the pickup of Shawn Green, and the good news about Tommy Gun Glavine's shoulder, it's almost like I don't mind that I have to look for work some more today.
Almost.

And don't forget that Shawn Green is one of small handful of Jewish ball players. He's Representin'!
Take that Mel Gibson!
(Actually I heard that Dennis Leary said that when he heard Shawn Green was Jewish)
GO METS!
The Mets are lookin' good! Just hope they have a healthy pitching staff come October.
