Note: I’m Pumped for this Game
…i will be going to tonight’s game, and i am beyond pumped up…i love watching Pedro Martinez pitch, and this is the game he was brought here to pitch in, it’s just amazing to me that he’s getting the chance nearly three years later…but hey, better late than never…and he’s exactly the guy i want on the mound…
i’m expecting a vintage-pedro performance, not just in results, but in his overall presence…not too mention, the Mets, on the verge of disaster, will be forced to look at the Cardinals, the team who ended their season roughly one year ago…
…frankly, unless pedro’s arm falls off, which is always a possibility, he has to pitch for as long as he can…it should not be up for debate…seriously, this is it, man…whatever it takes…if he’s pitching well, but has thrown 100 pitches, who cares, leave him out there…like my buddy johnny g says, ‘one time me,’ petey…let’s do this…
…also, this is going to be a sloppy night…there is sporadic rain the forecast, and no time to make this game up between now and the end of the season…so, if it starts to rain, grab a book, folks, because nobody is going any place…
…by the way, i have been sent several e-mails demanding that i wear my lucky, polyester, old-school, racing-stripe1986 jersey…however, that jersey is for must wins…this is not yet a must win, which is a win-or-go-home scenario, not when up a game in the standings with four yet to play…
…i will say this, though, i have taken golden boy out of the closet, and have it spread out on the dresser, you know, just in case it is needed this weekend…
…anyway, if you spot me at tonight’s game, sitting a section or two off the field between first and right, please say hello…
