Saw a funny thing in the sky today out here. Big orange thing, bright, warm. After a few minutes, it finally began to occur to me. "Oh yeah, the sun" After a soggy weekend at Shea, and what seems like interminable grayness in New York, I have to admit it was nice to experience weather that actually felt like June.
As for Dodger Stadium, it's truly a gem. Hard to believe this ballpark, which opened in 1962, is actually older than Shea. Maybe it's the climate. The grounds crew also does an incredible job with the field. A few hours before tonight's game, there was a guy vacuuming the oufield grass. No lie.
As for the Mets, Lastings Milledge was the hot topic this afternoon, with manager Willie Randolph downplaying Sunday's high-fiving controversy and Milledge himself expressing no regrets. Jose Valentin made his seventh start at second base in eight games, and Alay Soler's job could be on the line tonight against the Dodgers.
And Cliff Floyd picks the Heat to win in 6 games. Or 5. He hasn't made up his mind yet. Definitely going with Miami though.

I have a feeling that tonight (6-5-06) will start a nice 10 and 2 run or 17 and 4 run. I think the guys are about to go on a tear!
What did you think of Reyes dancing off third durning Delgado's AB on Sunday? And do you think in that situatuin with Feliz playing so far our of position, that the Mets should have taken the gift run by having delgado bunt for the sure single?
My comments from 10 days ago are starting to look as if I'm psychic or something. I should have played Super Lotto that week, darn it! :) GO METS!
