The Mets traded homers with the Astros and one upped them by a sacrifice fly. Orlando Hernandez has been either good or horrible in most of his starts. Luckily, today he was pretty good after a rough start in the first inning. With the Mets trailing 3-1 after the first inning, Xavier Nady's 3 run home run in the 4th inning gave the Mets the lead that they would never relinquish.
Tonight we celebrate with a favorite of mine, Shiner Bock. I was first introduced to Shiner Bock during a golf tournament in San Antonio. It was a hot day in June and the drink carts were thankfully ever present. Stocked full of an ssortment of free beers, one of my playing partner suggested I try Shiner Bock. I tried it and liked it. I downed several durng the course of the day and have come to believe it has magical powers. Fueled by Shiner Bock, I recorded my single best round of golf, a 2-under par round of 70. This stuff must be a magical elixir. Hopefully, it will have the same effect on the Mets. So drink up Mets, then go out and kick some ass tomorrow.
