Mets vs. Cubs

If we're to take 2 of 3, tonight is a must considering the pitching matchups.

I think the Cubs have money on which of them can cause Dusty Baker's heart attack.

BTW, 5-1 Mets in the bottom of the second.

The Mets are twisting the knife. Double steal by Reyes and Cammy. No out second and third.

Semi scary fourth inning by Cubs makes it 7-4.

Cubs announcers claim a light rain is falling

Great bullpen use by Randolph tonight.

Funny game, especially compared to the way the ball has been flying

Nine runs, but no extra-base hits. The Mets went 5-5 in stolen bases though.

I think the Mets' magnetic pull toward .500-ness is affecting the lineup. Pretty soon every one them could check in with exactly a .270 batting average.

It was nice just to be able to watch a Mets game. Winning just made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Reyes extends his hitting streak to 18 games, longest ever by a Mets SS, watched the game on WGN, not terrible either, Bob Brenly in the Seaver role, not all that bad.

There must have been quite a few of us watching on WGN. A welcome change of commercials, too.

Yes Cooby, the local commercials are a treat, the Cub guys are far better than the White Sox guys, those two are brutal.

First post-game call I hear: 'Why didn't Willie have Glavine pitch the 9th?'

Also got damn reliable over the last few seasons.

Tonight excepted, of course, heh, heh.

Two observations:

Kerry Wood looked good; good to see him back.
I didn't know Scott Williamson nad two TJ surgeries. Good to see him back also.
