Mets Rally to Beat Cubs; Set to Pulverize Yankees this weekend

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day in New York City and the Mets had a day game. As a Mets season ticket holder who had only been to one other game so far this season, I decided to take the time and go see the Mets play the Cubs at Shea Stadium. I took the LIRR for a change since there is limited parking at Shea these days with the new Mets ballpark currently under construction. When I got to Shea and sat in my seat, I was taken back by the Mets starting lineup. I knew their pitcher was someone who had just been called up to pitch the game, but for the exception of a couple of players, it seemed like we were watching what could have been a spring training line up playing at Shea on May 17th.

What I didn't realize was that the Mets manager was giving almost everyone a days rest since the game from the day before ended only about 12 hrs before the game I was at started. And with the Yankees coming to Shea for a three game set, even more reason for the Mets players to be given a chance to rest and recover. And I only had a short window of time to be at Shea, since I had a need to be someplace else later in the afternoon. So, with all of this in mind, when the Mets fell behind the Cubs 5-1 in the 6th inning, I called it a day and took the LIRR back to my home.

It turns out that while I was in transit, the Mets staged their biggest ninth inning rally since 1999 and came back and beat the Cubs 6-5. One again, it is proof that in baseball, almost anything can happen…and when there is hope and a will, games can and will turn around. Nothing is Impossible!

And what a great way to transfer the positive momentum of a Mets win into the weekend series against a troubled 2007 Yankees team.

Let's Go Mets!

A guy is walking past a big wooden fence at the insane asylum and he hears all the residents inside chanting, Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!
　　Quite curious about this, he finds a hole in the fence, and looks in. Someone inside pokes him in the eye.
　　Then everyone inside the asylum starts chanting, Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!

The moment we start using the [url=http://www.fivefingerexpress.com/vibram-fivefingers-men-vibram-fivefingers-kso-c-1_22.html]Vibram FiveFingers Kso[/url] to move bare feet, we experience a sudden resurge of a lot of abilities that we had lost due to years of forcing our body into unnatural movement. Gradually, we start to get back our original way of walking, the pain that we used to feel in our calf [url=http://www.fivefingerexpress.com/vibram-fivefingers-men-vibram-fivefingers-speed-c-1_23.html]Vibram FiveFingers SPEED[/url] muscles or around our waist suddenly vanish, and most importantly we start feeling free and happy.
