Boo yah!

So this is what it feels like to be on the good end of a sweep. I wonder why a certain someone hasn't talked to me since Friday night...

I have to give the Mets full credit for rebounding and sweeping Atlanta in Turner Field. I never pictured it happening. John Maine, Mike Pelfrey, and Tom Glavine steeped up and delivered excellent pitching performances. The bullpen shone in that they didn't blow a game! The biggest testament to the Mets pitching this series is they only allowed one extra base hit in three games, a ground ball double by Brian McCann in the final inning of the final game. On offense, David Wright had big hits, Marlon Anderson is a huge bat off the bench, it's great to have Endy Chavez back, and Carlos Delgado actually hit two homers in this series.

The Mets lead is 4 games over Philly, 7.5 games over Atlanta, and the magic number for clinching the division is 23 with 26 games and we head to Ohio tomorrrow. Speaking of tomorrow, Pedro Martinez is back and pitching in Cincinnati! Vote for Pedro!

A few other things for tonight.

1) Jets open in 7 days! Let's smoke New England!

2) Cherry Coke Zero isn't much better than Diet Cherry Coke and they're both brutal.

3) I watched "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest" for the first time last night. Excellent film.

4) I have softball playoffs at 8 am next week. If we win our first game, the championship game is at 9:15. Then, I have the volleyball seeding tournament at 2 p.m. I'd better do some extra cardio this week.

5) Fresh Market's bacon cheddar burgers and almond pillow cookies are incredible.

6) Where should I go at the end of December: St. Paul, MN or New York City?

7) Being spontaneous is a good quality but not when you're counting on someone having made a decision and then they decide to suddenly change it on you.

8) After hearing Joe Benigno's opening monologue/rant on Friday 8/31, I am reminded how great he is.

9) Two weeks to go until I attend ROH's third PPV taping at the Frontier Fieldhouse.

10) Steve Phillips is a clueless, bitter prick and ESPN needs to fire him today. I said it.

PS Check back later this week for the story of the relish and the beans...
