Let's Get Physical


Endy! going down tonight reminds me about how damn hard it is to get out there and be so physical everyday. Now granted, I am ten years older than most of these guys and in solid shape, but after my week long 200 plus kms bike ride through Italy, I was broke down. These guys are doing this everyday for several months. Bottom line, you can take great care of your body, even if it is your job to take care of your body and you can still find yourself limping off the field.

There's a psychological aspect to these physical setbacks. If you can't rely on your body, what the hell can you rely on? Especially when you are young and you have no idea how age can screw with you.

Oh well, it's the 9th inning and the Mets have given up. It ain't good. Bodies letting us down, the first time all season we have lost 3 in a row and we have to face the super hot 8-2 Cole Hamels tomorrow night. Sigh. It ain't pretty. A sweep by the Phillies may feel like a physical injury come tomorrow.
