Thanks, Geoff. Your well wishes really mean alot. I know they're sincere, and not some cheap shot at jinxing me. You're too much of a stand up guy for that.  :p Oh, did I mention the 3 players I have who've batted so far have totaled a big fat 0.  Godfather 3 is on. I think I'll watch it so I can feel thoroughly disgusted.

Wll, DB, as we head into the last week with you trailing by 101 points, I thought I'd brighten up your Monday by trying to figure out what the chances were of you catching me. The best way I could think of to figure it was to look at how may times since we began playing last year did one of us beat the other head-to-head by more than 100 points. I threw out the first 10 weeks of last season, because at that point you already trailed me by more than 400, and I think you were still kind of feeling your way around. But since that point, I think the difference between us has been less than 100 points, with me ahead. That's over a period of 36 weeks. Anyway, the results were interesting. Out of the 36 weeks I looked at, you beat me head-to-head in 23 of them, but 18 of those 23 times it was by less than 40 points. Seven times it was by less than ten points. Here are the complete results: # Times # Times

1-10 7

31-40 3 4
41-50 2 1
51-60 1
61-70 1
71-80 2 1
81-90 2
91-100 1
101-110
111-120
121-130
131-140
141-150 1 (Note: I only included "seven day weeks", eliminating the two long weeks following the all-star breaks both years, and this season's long first week). It has been remarkably close between us, with 24 of the 36 weeks decided by less than 40 points. But most significant, IMO, is the fact that in more than a season and a half, there's only been one occasion when either one of us beat the other by more than 100. I think I'll go put the champagne on ice.

Put away the popcorn, guys. I could say how I really don't see anyone on Atlanta playing two games today (true), and how I see only Wright playing both games for the Mets (also true), but it would be kinda tough for me to explain away not taking Atlanta's PS What happened was this (If you don't care, you can stop reading here): I'm in the city yesterday (Manhattan, NYC to you out-of-towners) about 3:00 PM and my car doesn't start. Clearly, the problem was the battery (no lights, power windows, etc.). So I call AAA, the guy comes and gives me a boost, tells me there is nothing wrong with the battery, just some gunk and corrosion on the terminals, and that I should pour some cocoa-cola on them to dissolve the crap. So I do, and of course that doesn't work and the car doesn't start again, so I call AAA and a different guy comes back. He tells me to drive around for 15 minutes or so to charge the battery, and everything will be fine. So I do, and it wasn't. The car doesn't start again, and I call AAA for a third time. So a third guy comes and gives me a boost. By now it's dark though, and the second I turn my lights on, the battery dies. "Ah" this genius says. "An electrical problem. Just drive home without any lights on, and you'll be fine." So I start heading for the Lincoln Tunnel (connects NY & NJ), and just outside the tunnel the car dies again. Someone comes from the tunnel emergency repair squad or whatever they call it, and pushes me through the tunnel and into a gas station on the Jersey side. A gas station that doesn't do repairs, though. So I call AAA yet again, this time for a tow truck to get me and my car home. Well, with all the waiting for AAA four times, I finally get home at around 9:00 PM, not having had dinner yet, but just in time for Monday Night Football. Now, I had a lot riding on last night's Monday nighter. A 16 point lead on the Ragging Bullshitter, but he has Eddie George and Keyshawn going, so of course I'm interested in the game. I put the game on, fix something to eat, open a bottle of wine and make myself comfortable on the couch to start watching and eating. Trouble is, at 10:00 PM, after a few glasses of wine and an aggrevating day, it wasn't long before I was stretched out on the couch and in dreamland, not to awaken until well after 3:00. So that's my tale of woe. Let's Go Mets.
