Dinning/Pool Table

My friend send me this link (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/fusion-table-dining-table-and-pool-table-062394) the other to a very interesting dinning room table, which happens to conveniently convert itself into a pool table. The table is called "The Fusion Table" and can viewed at www.fusiontables.com. According to one of the user comments the table cost around 6 grand. If I had the money and the house to put it in I would definitely invest in this dinning/pool table.

Mozzrella Stick Goldfish

These have by far got to be the greatest Goldfish crackers, ever. My mom picked these up the other day because they looked interesting and she wanted to try them. I am glad she did because they are AWESOME. They actually taste like real mozzarella sticks, not just mozzarella cheese. They have a hint of marinara sauce as well as the crunchiness of the breadcrumbs. I don't mean the crunchiness of the cracker itself, but it seems as if they have little breadcrumbs on them to give it that extra little breadcrumb crunchiness. I think everyone who loves mozzarella sticks (even those who don't) should try these because they are amazing.

Snail on the Wall

I found this snail crawling up I beam by the train station a while back. I found it interesting because I have 1. Never actually seen a snail like that before and 2. Didn't realize snails could crawl that far up a wall or beam. This snail was a little bit above my head and I am 5'9". So lets say he was about 6 and a half feet or so up the beam. I felt compelled to take a picture for posterity :-)

So apparently today is park(ing) day...

So apparently today is park(ing) day. This pretty kewl phenomenon where New Yorkers take over a precious NYC parking spot and use ti for there own personal use. I haven't actually been out of the office today, so I haven't gotten a chance to see any set up, but many of them I from a video lay down sod and/or astro turf along with a bench and/or some chairs and just relax. The video I watched was located here: http://parkingdaynyc.org/.

Oh no, is it deja vú

Oh no, here we go again. *knock on wood* I sure as hell hope we are not witnessing some remnants of last season. I missed the last two games but the last game I saw we were 2 games up, no we are .5 a game back.

Now as I sit here watching tonight's game, biting my nails, I already know that the last two games I missed were against the Washington Nationals, so already I know this is not good. Considering we went from 2 games up to a half a game back mean only one thing we lost 2 games to the Nationals.

This game is making me a nervous wreck, as well as all other Mets fans (I'm sure). I turn on the game to see a 8-3 lead in the 6th inning. Only to see that lead shrink to 8-5 by a monstrous homer run by Elijah Dukes. Carlos Beltran increased the lead to 9-5 with a solo home run his second of the game.

The 8th inning was relatively painless, aside from the fact of almost nice sliding grab by Beltran, a sweet run saving catch by Ryan Church, and a long drive to the warning track in center.

Here we are now in the bottom of the 9th, and two run home run Heilman gives up a walk to make it 1st and 2nd, unfortunately he wasn't helped by David Wright's throwing error to put the lead off man on. A nice diving stop by Delgado gets the 1st out but the runner move 90 feet closer. A hard shot back to Pedro Feliciano get the next batter and holds the runners at bay. Final out and..FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Willy Neives shoots a line drive to center bringing home 2 runs making it 9-7, with the tying run to the plate. All Mets fans heart are increasingly pumping with anxiety and frustration.

Luis Ayala comes into the game to close it out. Pinch hitter, Roger. Bernadina, steps in and..."HEEE STRUCK HIIIIM OUT," one of the most famous lines from Gary Cohen. It is definitely better than is patented "IT'S OUTTA HEEEEERE"

So where does this leave us. We are a game ahead of the Brewers in the Wild Card race, and if the Brewers win will will be .5 a game ahead of them in the wild card race. This always leaves us with the fact that this is how we started September last year. Seven relievers were used in tonight's game. This is definitely unacceptable with a 5 run lead in the 6th. If this continues there is no way we will make it far in the play off.

All and all we need to step up as a team and a pitching staff and perform. Plain and simple.

Mets come from behind

Thanks to Carlos Delgado's 2-run home run and Ryan Church's RBI double, the Mets take a come from behind win over the Milwaukee Brewers. If the Nationals keep pounding the Phillies as they are now, the Mets would take a 2 game lead in the N.L. East. Wooooooooooh!!
