Can't Get There From Here

I'm not even sure you could get from Citi Field (in Queens) to Yankee Stadium (in The Bronx) without some serious mojo. And a bus. And possible the LIRR. So calling this the 'Subway Series' is a bit of a misnomer.

Anyway, you have the mighty Yankees are surging at 31-25 and a half game behind the Rays and Orioles in the AL East. The Mets (who everyone wrote off before season) are at 32-26 and a game and a half out of 1st in the best division in baseball in the early going.

Predictions:
FRIDAY - Santana leads the Mets to the W SATURDAY - Yankees might get this one SUNDAY - Niese takes easy W

Play ball.

El Foldo

The title of this post is not meant to be flip, just meant to be.

So my 13U travel baseball team played their last game today. Team has folded after the spring season; couple of oys leaving to concentrate on HS football, couple just leaving. So we no longer play. That is that.

OSSS will move up to the 14U team...to be honest, I wanted this to happen a few months ago. He is ready to move up. Big time.

2080

Wow. Finally. A NY Met No-Hitter. Against the leagues best offense as well.

SoulSlam was watching from around the 4th inning on...I was with OSSS as he umpired a boys rec game. Came home, grabbed a sammie and a beer and settled in. And watched. 5th inning, 6th inning...pitch count is up there. What do we do.

Around inning 7 I ran upstairs for my Mets sleep-pants. Gotta represent. OSSS came up from man-cave and was all excited. I had to stay cool. Been here before.

8th inning - getting real. What is Terry Collins doing coming out? Just a check it was.

Top 9 - pitch 1, fly ball to Torres in CF. 1 out. Second batter flairs one to LF, #9 grabs it. David Freese up, strike one, strike two and finally strike three!!!!!

I was up and cheering in my living room. Hard to believe.

Johan Santana. No-Hitter. Awesome.

Who Doesn't Like a Ben Affleck Movie

I was watching The Town this morning. Great movie. Then it hit me: Ben Affleck is awesome.

He's made some really good movies, and some really bad movies. He's survived the whole "is he wearing a hairpiece" controversy and he hangs out with Matt Damon. Big Red Sox fan as well!

So here is SoulSlam's top X list of Affleck:

The Town

Hollywoodland

Boiler Room

Armageddon

Good Will Hunting

All those Kevin Smith cameos

Granted, he's no Brad Pitt, but pretty good for a kid from Boston.

Doctor?

Back on 5/11 I wrote a post called MOAC - about my bruise.

Two weeks or so later, I am still wearing a hematoma and I know have swelling in my ankle. All the amateur docs tell me it's just my blood bruise falling and collecting.

Hope that is right.

Misery

Sitting in the day 2 of a 2 day meeting...torture.

Hello cyanide.
