Show & Tell

this was the scene when David Wright came to bat in the fourth inning today:



(Mets 3, Marlins 0, bases loaded, two outs, top of the fourth)

and here is the commentary from your SNY broadcast team:

Darling: I just find it very interesting that--I'm not criticizing the manager-- well, I guess I am-- for not having a right-handed pitcher ready for David Wright. I think that's something that could reeeealy backfire.

two minutes, two balls and two strikes later...

Cohen: It's a three-run double for David Wright, and the Mets have a 6-0 lead!

Hernandez: If you're a Mets fan, thank you very much to Freddy Gonzales for not having a right-hander ready for David!


for visual reinforcement, here's what happens when you don't have a righty ready for Wright in this situation:


(Mets 6, Marlins 0, one on, two out, still top of the fourth)


Lesson learned, opposing managers?

my sister takes good pictures

I've taken the privilege of naming this one Endy in the Hole, Port St. Lucie, March 23, 2008.

my latest excuse

I haven't posted about our spring training trip yet because M and V haven't shared their pictures yet.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

ok, the real reason is that L's laptop is missing the "g," which makes typing a bit uncomfortable. it'll be fixed soon.

in the meantime, I present this great picture of my sister and me at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, taking a break from John Maine's command performance against the Orioles.

Spring Training, etc.

I've been to three pre-season Mets games in Florida since I last posted, and so I obviously have a lot to share. Regretfully, I haven't had a lot of time to write. I'm going to post about our amazing trip ASAP, but in the interim, I present my favorite commercial of the year:
