It is good to have the Mets win some. The series with the worst team in the history of pro sports (The Phillies), which has somehow managed to sneak into second place, is going to turn out something more than we expected earlier in the season now.
I went to the cyclones game last night. It was my first time, and it was really great. It's nice to watch some real baseball in a nice clean park where you can sit close to the action, without all the crazyness of a major league game. I'm going back.
