7 hours of ball

The Mets won an epic 20 inning game yesterday, that went scoreless through 18 innings. Each team scored in the 19th, and a Jose Reyes sac fly in the 20th was the difference. The Cardinals used two position players to pitch the final three innings, stranded 23 base runners, and sent a pitcher to the plate with the bases loaded twice in extra innings. Definitely one of the most memorable games I've ever seen. I bet each team is glad they are the ESPN game tonight. I'm throwing out a guarantee. I guarantee the game doesn't go 20 innings, and if it does, every follower of The Litmus Configuration will get a personalized apology letter from me, a Mets key chain, and you can all split my Best Buy rewards zone gift certificate (it's about $20.....not to shabby).

The Brewers have are 4-7, and try to avoid a sweep in D.C. this afternoon. They have dropped three straight series after taking 2 of 3 games from Colorado to start the season. I had a dream last night that Prince Fielder was traded to Boston for Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Buchholz and prospects. Pull the trigger! He's not coming back....

(none)

I can't think of a clever title for the blog entry tonight....

I paid off my mini-van today. Never wanted it in the first place, haven't driven it in 3 years (it's Heather's), and I am relieved that I don't have to think about paying for or insuring the goddamn thing anymore. Good riddance, Nissan Sienna. Get out of my life!

Was watching the 30 for 30 for documentary on the University of Miami football program tonight. I was disturbed to see that Bernie Kosar was clearly intoxicated while filming his interview for the program. It's not negotiable that he was drunk. Pretty sad, as he is my all time favorite NFL player.

Quick list of CD's I'd like to pick up this year...

new Hold Steady
new Stone Temple Pilots
new National
new Broken Social Scene
new She & Him
Pinkerton deluxe re-issue
some old Macca
some good jazz

This weekend, I'll be getting familiar with Sufjan Stevens and Broken Bells. Good friends have good things to say about both of these...

I get to put my daddy hat back on this weekend. Gracie has been with her "Grammy" since Easter. I'm very excited to see her.

Still would like to do a podcast, but may not happen for a while. I gotta sell some books, and get ready for divorce court.

Gallardo is locked up for 5 more years. This is very good. Now if we could only do the same to King Prince...
