Susan & I went camping in Big Sur for Thanksgiving and two days later I went to the Emergency room in Santa Barbara, covered in poison Oak. I thought it was poison Ivy I was really allergic too, turns out Oak spreads like wildfire on my sensitive pasty white skin. Several Aveeno oatmeal baths a day, Benadryl anti-itch spray, and a prescription to a corticosteroid called Prednisone, and the itching & swelling has subsided enough for me to be somewhat comfortable again.
My fingers are no longer too fat to type, so I navigated my way over to this set of three, free & new Ricky Gervais podcasts.

From a Met fan point of view anyway, Yankee fans? Not so good, But hey, there’s a new team in town.
Mets won game three last night in LA to complete their sweep of the National League Division Series against the Wild Card winning Dodgers. I honestly thought the crowd would contain more Met fans than it actually did, considering the amount of transplants in Tinseltown. We were engulfed in an intense current of electricity in a sea of blue, which went off when LA took their first & only lead in the bottom of the fifth. Too little too late as the Mets countered with a three run sixth and never lost the lead again.
Oct 8, NY Post cover & Sunday Sports cover. I love the ad for a free Spider Man comic, you need something to draw in the literary readership.
There’s a lemon party behind the mound!

Mets continued to work out runs against LA in last night’s game two. It was no easy task but NY was the best offensive team in the Nationa League. They managed four runs on 7 hits in last night’s contest Vs. LA’s solo long ball. Glavine returned to his old form last night, performing brilliantly against Hung Kuo.
Unfortunately I live near LA, but, as good fortune would have it, I will be joining likely half of all “Dodger fans” in rooting for the visiting team this Saturday. If LA is going to take a game in this series, this is the one, with Maddux on the mound and their entire postseason on the line.

Mets took game one last night at Shea in nail biting fashion. Clearly LA can play and clearly the Mets can win. Early in the game there was quite a base running blunder by the Dodgers that will surely be a clip played on news stations & highlight reels for years to come. “They’ll forever be haunted by the memory of this wacky double play.”
Loduca said that after tagging out the first runner, he looked at the ump to make sure he made the tag and the ump gave him a weird look, a look he had never seen before, only to turn around and see J.D Drew barelling towards him and place the tag on him for the second run saving out on the play.
LA still hasn’t announced the start times for this weekends game(s) at Dodgers stadium. Seems a bit odd to have not yet decided on the schedule for a game one day away.

The Dodgers won in San Francisco and the Padres won in Arizona, so those became two clinching celebrations on the road. Now the only question is whether they advance as division champs or as a Wild Card. If one team wins on Sunday and the other loses, then the winner takes the NL West. If both teams win, or both teams lose, however, the Padres would win the West by virtue of a 13-5 head-to-head record. I didn’t write that, mlb.com did.
I have tickets to LA in the National League Division Series in hopes that the Dodgers take the wild card and face the Mets. If LA wins the National League West instead of the wild card, then I’m screwed & will have to make last minute attempts to get tickets to see them in San Diego. Based on the rules above, the odds are in my favor that NY will come to LA and not San Diego but it all comes down to one day of games. Let’s go padres!!
Update: It came down to the last minute, but Padres & LA both won, so it’s a Dodger Met matchup out west. Next step – Padres defeat St.Louis, and Mets take LA for a NLCS on the west coast.

“After 149 games, 91 victories and a summer of dominance, the time has come for them to be the team on top. In the second season of the Minaya-Willie Randolph regime, the Mets have taken the first step toward a possible return to the World Series and maybe even a rematch with the Yankees.” – Mets.com
I didn’t know a rematch with the Yankees was part of their ten year plan. I doubt anyone other than the media would throw that nugget in there; Sure it’d be fun, but let’s wait till next year for a subway series rematch. Luckily for me, we have both the Padres and Dodgers battling for the West & Wild Card, it’s only a matter of time before NY heads out here.

I used to rock the Daewon shoe back in the day, but I’ve never worn a beanie in southern California. Actually I have. But why talk about clothing when there’s photos of Daewon Song, Richard Mulder and Danny Garcia?
