Pluto no longer a planet..

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and.....?

Pluto has been demoted to 'dwarf planet' status, along with the recent discoveries of UB313, "Xena" and Ceres...

Amazin



My wife got some tickets to last night's Mets game through her workplace. Little did we know it would be the BEST. GAME. EV3R!

Bett and I were late, so we JUST missed the delgado HR in the bottom of the 2nd.

1-0

Then we saw pujols hit a 3 run shot in the 3rd (doh!)

1-3

Next inning, pujols with the bases loaded? some more ouch time...

1-7

Same inning, Mets are up, Beltran with the bases loaded? weak ground out to third...
Delgado steps to the plate, works the count to 3-1... I said to Betty, Gary and Lisa: "this is the pitch we're waiting for!!"

5-7

In the ensuing innings, the Mets eek out a run, and the next time Pujols threatens with runners on 1st and 2nd, they get him to hit into a 6-4-3 double play. beautiful. The Cards have this center fielder named Encarnacion. That got betty and I singing... "Encarnacioooonnnn Encarnacioo oo oo ooo on! I'd break my vows no no no no no no way jose... unless you want to then we'd break our vows together..."

6-7

Bottom of the ninth, top of the order, Reyes grounds out to 2nd... Lo Duca singles to center. Carlos Beltran, 0-4 for the night, comes up to the plate.... wham. walk off home run. Awesome.

8-7

Game Highlights:

-Pujols. he was the cardinal's entire offense.
-the Mets threw Belliard out at home. (same inning as the Pujols grand slam)
-the Delgado grand slam (400th career HR)
-the Pujols 6-4-3 double play
-Beltran's (Mr. 1-5 on the night) walk off home run.
-Watching a baseball game with my wife and friends. It was a great time!
