Go Mac!!

Warning: this post has only tangential, at best, relation to the Mets.

My sister's boyfriend (hereafter referred to as MSB), like her, is a freshman at Macalester. He's a pitcher. For the last five months, he's been claiming that he's not that great a pitcher.

He was lying.

Today was opening day for Macalester Baseball, which happens to have taken place in the Metrodome, where the Twins play. That's awesome enough all on it's own, but MSB was
pretty sure he wasn't gonna play today. He was wrong. Not only was he the first freshman pitcher to take the mound, he threw two scoreless innings, including a strikeout on three pitches. That's MSB in his wind-up in the picture above.

What does all this have to do with the Mets? Nothing, really, except that I'm SO JEALOUS that my sister got to watch a baseball game live and in person today, and I'm really, really proud of MSB.

Go Mac Baseball!!
