The 2nd Blog Begins

I have a new rule for my life. Every time my favorite baseball team humiliates themselves 3 nights in a row in Philadelphia, I have to start the blog again.

Just don't worry about me. I've already got the regular instant messages. Dad already sent me the "I'm crying myself to sleep" message and annoying Philly fan number 553,224 sent me the "phillies won!!!1" message (yes there really was the "1" there. how good?).

Really, I'm over it. The bad guys are still 3 games up and The Duke is pitching again Philly's secret weapon Kyle Lohse. I'm perfectly okay with the fact that we lost because Marlon Anderson slid into Tad Iguchi too hard. It's fine. Really.

The part that PISSES ME OFF is Jose Reyes getting picked off TWICE in the same game. He cost us at least one run, and probably two. Finally Sosa gets some strikes across and we can't score any runs. FANTASTIC.

Recap
Mets good: Wright (2/3 and a homer), Sosa (2.0IP, 1H, 1K)
Mets bad: Castillo (0/4), Reyes (AARRRRGH!!!)

Phillies good: Rollins (2/4 and a homer), Moyer (6.0IP, 4K)
Phillies bad: Rowand (golden sombrero!), Myers (could've, should've, would've blown the save)

ONE MORE THING: Oliver struck out 10, but his 5 walks (one to Moyer!) and 2 HR killed the Mets. 10 Ks are great, but not when the K/BB rate is a pedestrian 2.

On a brighter note, I picked up Metroid Prime 3 on Tuesday. Pretty much every legit gaming publication (read: IGN and Nintendo Power) say it's the best game on Wii. If that doesn't get you excited... well you're probably not as nerdy as I am.

Anyway, I haven't got around to playing it yet, but I'm sure it will be a blast and a half.

So it's almost 2 am now. Next time (no idea when), it will be more Mets, more Phillies, something about those wonderful Joba Rules, and Nintendo's killer (to my GPA) fall lineup.
