Back!

Things are getting back to normal. I am home and today I got out of bed at 6 instead of 4 (jet lag), Carlos Beltran is the beast we know and love, and the Mets won a crazy ass game 7-6 against the NL Wild Card leader Padres.

Some things are still out of whack: Johnny Maine not even lasting 6 innings and giving up 3 runs. Billy Wagner giving me indigestion (while this is not uncommon, it is out of whack). Women fighting hand to hand combat in politics. Going to bed last night before Sportscenter.

I guess all a girl can do is watch, wait, hope, and try to stay up later.

What I find interesting about last night's game is the players (other than Carlos B), who made stuff happen. Names we didn't hear in April and May - Lastings Milledge (ok, there was the bad rap record...), Luis Castillo, Marion Anderson, and Mike DiFelice. All of these players were clutch and all of them are new. It's a testament to the talent of these guys, the team, the coaches, and Omar.

The next week or so will test 'em for sure - SD, LA, Philly and Atlanta. But it's all good.
