That was exciting

Getting into my car last night, I turned on the Mets game just in time to hear Carlos Delgado's second home run of the night, and the second home run in a row by a Mets player following Carlos Beltran's go-ahead shot. Joe Smith, Brian Stokes, and Luis Ayala kept the Nationals off the board, and the Mets held on for a come-from-ahead, come-from-behind victory. The bad news is Oliver Perez failed to hold leads of 2-0 and 5-2 against a light-hitting Nationals team. The good news is Delgado has had consecutive multi-homer games, and last night's gave him 7 for the year. That ties Delgado with Dave Kingman which gives me an opportunity to mention Kingman's nickname was (and possibly still is) Kong. How cool is that? Anyway, Delgado has been particularly unconscious the past couple of games, hitting 4 home runs that totaled about a third of a mile. Or maybe I'm unconscious. I punched myself in the head REALLY hard the other day. Whatever the cause, here's to hoping he doesn't wake up any time soon, because the Mets lead the Phillies by a mere 3 games in the loss column, and anything can happen over the last 3 weeks of the season.
