ok...lets take a minute to recap.

Double Header today- John Maine to pitch game 1, Mike Pelfrey (pictured right) to pitch game 2.
Henry Owens made his major league debut in the opener against florida. he pitched a perfect 9th inning, and got a standing ovation as he left the mound.
this is very exciting. all our young pitchers....ohhh

Jose Reyes will miss the rest of the series against Florida, and possibly the All Star game, after he was spiked on the hand during a head first slide into 1st base. I still don't get the head first slide, it seems to me that if you keep running, youll get there sooner...right? leaving your feet a couple steps early, and flinging yourself through the air doesnt seem like the fastest way to get from point A to point B.

Lima Time has expired. He was designated for assignment...finally. His Mets numbers:: 0-4 9.78 ERA. woah.

ok...thats most of what happened. lets go maine and pelfrey. lets go Mets.
oh yeah. i hope the games go well...considering i cant watch them...gosh, i hope i dont miss anything special.
