Dear Diary,
Well it's off to Detroit for me and my Mets friends. While it's fun playing in that small ballpark in Texas I tell you I almost melted in the heat. Ouch.
We did good against the Rangers what with winning two out of three games and on Saturday we scored like a bazillion runs. I only had one dinky single on Saturday but had three hits in the Sunday game including a double I kind of blooped down the left field line.
Then after my last hit their pitcher (Lowe was it?) tried to pick me off at first. To tell you the truth I think he had me but the umps were blowing calls left and right that day and most of them went our way. So I was feeling frisky on first and tried to swipe second. Those sons of guns threw me out by a mile. At this point I'm surprised that Terry hasn't nailed my feet to first base. How come the bases seem like just 70 feet apart for Josie and Angel and for me I feel like stopping for gas halfway there?
So anyway we're hoping for the best in the Motor City (haha, bet you didn't know that people call it that). On Thursday we have to face that dude Verlander. I don't know how much fun that's going to be. He's pitching like Tom Seaver or Dwight Gooden reincarnated. But we've done pretty well against some of the better starters we've faced this year. Maybe we'll get to him. I guess that's the fun of it.
They tell me that David might be back at third in a few weeks. That's probably good news but what with Duda having 4 hits on Saturday I gotta wonder how the infield will shake out when he gets back. I better keep hitting (and trying NOT to get thrown out on the bases so much) if I want to keep playing regularly.
That's all for now Dear Diary. I'll get back to you when I can.
