From Feeling Good To Feeling Bad

Ah what a nice day Sunday was! Sure i was a tad hungover from hanging out with my buddies Fed and Rob until the sun came up. It was a fun night of male bonding that involved rock band a scotch. We felt like Guns n Roses circa '88! Rob doing his best Slash impression of not moving or breathing, Fed doing his best Steve Adler impression mumbling incoherently. I played myself, the married guy about to turn thirty, wondering why he was still awake when it started turning light out. Anyways Sunday! The Mets won once again with good pitching and clutch hitting from people who didnt belong on a major league roster. Now it was off to face the Pirates for 4 easy games. I would be disapointed if they won less than 3.

Flash forward to Tuesday night and now I feel like its the end of the world. 2 straight losses to the Pirates! This would not bother me as much if my best bud Pat wasn't the most annoying Pittsburgh fan in the galaxy. He already had the Steelers win! The Penguins are in the Stanley Cup finals...they might be losing but this team will be good for the next decade! I am the co-best man at his wedding and would've started my speech "Thank God For The Pirates" Hell that wouldve been the title! The speech would have been spectacular! I would've recorded myself reading that speech over some music and become a hit like that "Wear Sunscreen" guy. Now I can't!

What's going on with the Mets?
Are they watching Carl Pavano training videos?
Is their team nutritionist witholding milk from them?

2 opening day starters played for them tonight. Thats rediculous! It just turned June!

I miss last Sunday, i felt a lot younger and carefree back then. Now I gotta go work on a new speech. "Thanks God For Marc-Andre Fluery"

METS LEAVE IT ALL ON THE FIELD...ALMOST LITERALLY

John Maine pitched 6 solid (which was not the type of food he ate later) shutout innings and the bullpen closed it out for a satisfying 3-2 win. Maine took the mound to begin the seventh but was unable to throw a pitch due to a stomach virus which is making the rounds in the Mets clubhouse. I expect Mike O to take the high road when i comes to explaining how the illness gets around. These things do happen, but what keeps happening that is unexpected is the alarming rate that a Mets club, without El Duque or Moises Alou, keep getting hurt. Angel Pagan who is once again off to a solid start after getting the opportunity to play gets hurt just like he did last year.

Yes i went to the Met game on Saturday and as soon as I saw the lineup to support Tim Redding I knew that winning wasn't on the top of the list of priorities. But i enjoyed myself anyways. Got a beer and sat in my seat until the third inning when i was just going to go wander the rest of the stadium for the remainder of the game. Finally got a Shake Shack burger (very nice) and ended up having about 3 hoegaardens for $7.50 a pop, which isnt that terrible considering. So yes the Mets lost but it was a great Saturday anyways.

Carl Pavano! Wow Mikey O, does that one sting? And whats with Yanks lefty relievers and the word "coke"? You can't make fun of a Mets irrational starting pitcher signing and lose to Carl Pavano on the same day!

The Mets "hellish" schedule continues with 4 games at Pittsburgh. Lets just try to make it back in one piece, and be careful who you sit next to on the plane.
