7 RBIs from WHO?

So did anyone see Paul LoDuca's 2HR, 7-RBI night coming? How about Shawn Green's 3/5 including a double and a stolen base? Meanwhile, Perez gives up 5 runs in 5 innings (5BB, 2K), Wright and Reyes go a combined 0/10, and the Mets still win. How good?

Although I was doing Tax and Spanish homework for about an hour during the game, I could tell it was one of those where the Mets' lineup decided they weren't going to be stopped. Here were my two favorite parts of the game:

1) Beltran hit a fly ball into center field, which was followed by Keith Hernandez exclaiming, "he just missed it [a home run]!" which was followed by the ball actually going over the fence for a home run.
2) Reyes going 0/5, contradicting the stat they always show to make us believe that the Mets' offense is completely dependent on Reyes. Not tonight.

In another MLB game, the Phillies got a surprisingly solid performance from Kyle Lohse (gee, the Reds could've used him tonight) to push the Braves back further in the NL East. Atlanta is now closer to last place than to first place. Hopefully for them, Brian McCann turns out to be better than Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

So what about Entourage? Roomie Jake and I somehow forgot to watch on Sunday night, but we miraculously ran into it tonight at 11pm just 4 minutes into the episode. Easily one of the best Johnny Drama episodes ever. Really great way to end the season. I'm very satisfied. I won't ruin it for you.

By the way, look who's back at Giants camp! No one will ever know why Strahan was REALLY missing time (although all evidence points to his just not wanting to practice), but I'm glad to have him back for the regular season. Also, Jeremiah Trotter signed with the Tampa Bay Bucs, while former Buc Simeon Rice is rumored to be talking to the Broncos.

Finally, if you like fantasy football (and if you're a male, you probably do), here's a nice article about Larry Johnson. And one on Brandon Jacobs. Too bad you already picked your running backs already. Incidentally, we should do something to measure how often these "fantasy gurus" are actually right about stuff. Being an NFL junkie, I don't feel like writing columns about which football players are going to take off this year would be that hard. O well.

ONE MORE THING: The Mets have now won 5 straight games for the FIRST time this season. Isn't that funny? AND I finally found the 2nd dungeon in Zelda 1 last night. Hallelujah.
