Mets Fall Short Against Red Sox, Pedro Feels Good

ME: today work was okay. got a lot done and i have lots to do these days. it's beginning to really annoy me how much i smoke. but that's another blog all together! after work, later, i had a catch with becky in prospect park. but it was kinda chilly and got dark quick--although the sun still sat late which is always nice. and it was great to throw. becky's got a good gun! i want to have more catches and go hit fastballs at the range near where i live! it's amazing there: a large batting cage center--indoors, with basketball, video games, a sports memorabilia shop, a chicken fingers and pizza stand and tables where adults and children alike, play one another intense games of pokemon, digimon and magic. it's a great place to waste time and hit fastballs. in fact, i plan on going there on friday! should be fun-always is! anyways, after the catch, bex1 and i got the ill hot dogs, waffle fries and mozzy stix! mmmmmmmmmmm--Hot Diggity Dog is the greatest BK hot dog and treats place to go to...we got a ton of stuff and it was only $20; they've been there forever-mad neighborhood. anyways, we got these treats and headed back through the crazy wind. my hips are absolutely killing me. every step i take, i have to be careful not to throw my knee out to the outside...i know that doesn't make any sense whatsoever...how can i explain it? i was told years ago that i had the legs of a woman! that my knees go out, whereas a man's turn inwards. consequently, my hip gets a tremendous shooting pain this day, tuesday, whenever i straighten out my leg or turn it inwards. it's a painful annoyance. but i live. the dogs help! mmmmmmmmmmm! watched In Treatment and something else i can't recall...'twas a good day (and i didn't have to use my AK!).

METS: today the Mets lost to the Red Sox, 4-3, despite fine performances from Pagan and reliever, Steven Register who pitched two nice-nice innings. Angel Pagan, who is starting to look like Alou's replacement, smacked a sweet two out triple in the third. but while the reserves continue to come through for these springtimey Mets, it wasn't enough against the 2-3 Manny Ram and the untouchable relief antics of Papelbon-bons. it's fun to see these match-ups. who knows? maybe this would be the year of the 1986 reunion World Series? tomorrow, the Mets plays Baltimore. meanwhile, in Port St. Lucie, Pedro threw a simulated game for three innings and reached 87 mph. "It's not about velocity, it's about changing speeds," said the Mets ace. at least he's feeling healthy, and believe me, a healthy Pedro is what we need in that spot right after Johan. do you remember where you were when you heard the Mets were getting Keith Hernandez?
