A 'Lil Sanchez On The Way

I am not sure if this is "breaking news" or not but it is good news for Duaner Sanchez regardless.
My mother works for a doctor that delivers babies and she called me up the other day...

"One of the Mets players' wives came in the other day, she is pregnant and Dr. Doctor (obviously a false name) is going to deliver the baby."

"No shit, who?
"

"Sanchez. Dw... Dw... Dwayne Sanchez"

"Um, Duaner Sanchez?"


"Oh yeah, that's it."



Ahh, Bless her soul.

Anyway, as you can see, thankfully Sanchez wasn't hurt any further in his unfortunate accident because he is expecting soon. I am not sure if he has any other kids or if this will be his first but I am sure that all Mets fans wish him a healthy recovery and many blessings for his unborn child.

I told a coworker about this and he suggested that I try to get my hands on the umbilical cord and sell it on eBay. Um, no thanks. Besides the fact that it might be illegal, I doubt the strength of the market for Sanchez's wifes umbilical cord.

Now, if it was Betran's wife...


I plan on getting him a "get well soon" card to give to my mother to pass along to his wife. Hopefully it will be thanked with some autographed stuff or some tickets.

Davey Is Killing Me

Davey, What is going on?

I know it is only been like 2 weeks that he is in this “slump” but for me, personally, it couldn’t have come at a worst time. Being the only representative from the Mets on my fantasy team, I look forward to cheering my favorite Met a little extra each night (except for the 20 or so games that they have had off in July). These past two weeks have been incredibly important as I was trying to hold on to 1st place (which I have now lost).

Our league is based on individual performance so we only use certain stats. Unfortunately RBI’s is not one of them as they rely too much on a team effort (the team needs to be on base after all to be knocked in).

Here’s hoping he will turn it around

M * A * S * H

You have to hand it to the guy in the sound booth at Turner Field.

When Carlos Delgado was hit in the knee (shin?) the other night, I started bullshitting with my roommate about the same old shit that we usually talk about, when suddenly I had to cut off the conversation and turn up the Mets game. No, it wasn't the witty banter of the SNY booth as they played the 9th replay of the ball hitting Delgado, that had the game BLARING. What I was listening for was to confirm that, yes indeed, the Braves were playing the theme song to M*A*S*H!

Haha! Great. I know it sucked that it was a Met that was in pain but I couldn't help but smile. Who doesn't appreciate a clever way to taunt an opponent?

Well done, anonymous Turner Field sound technician, well done.
