Spring Training So Far

Why do the Mets play such horrible defense behind Oliver Perez? He has had 2 starts this spring and has already given up 5 unearned runs. Is it because they never expect anyone to hit the ball so they fall asleep?

Last year he had a great ERA, but people pointed to his tendancy to give up unearned runs, and for him to lose his cool after a miscue. The mets have a solid defense - but I gotta blame them not Ollie. Someone should figure out why they can't catch a ball when he pitches the find a way to mentally fix it. Look back to his 2006 stint with the Mets - even in his first outing in a game against the Phillies the Mets gloves let him down leading to a Ryan Howard Grand Slam when he should have been out of the inning without allowing a baserunner. If I remember correctly they did not give any errors in that inning - but go back and watch the sloppy defense. It very easily could have been 4 more unearned runs.

Spitzer Swallows

Ahh love potion number 9 ... oops I mean Prostitution Client #9.
Here's to you!
I don't make a habit of writing about politics, I will probably have a few posts about my personal presidential write in campaign, but I could not get past writing about this. Spitzer has become the latest politician to disgrace his constituency by doing the very thing he fought against - breaking the law. He won the NYS election by a landslide yet even before this report he had a lower approval rating than George Bush.
All I can say is - please please please someone show me a picture of the girl that cost him roughly $5,000 an hour. It must be pretty nice for the type of scratch!
