A Cheese-Break

The Mets and Cardinals were washed out tonight.

And because of such, Mike Pelfrey has been washed out for Friday's doubleheader. And that's a relief. Because there was a part of me that was scared that Pelfrey would pitch the day game instead of John Maine. Now, at least if Maine is pushed to Friday night, Orlando Hernandez, who was supposed to go tonight, will go in the afternoon and not Pelfrey (and if you believe what you read here, it will indeed be Orlando Hernandez in Friday's afternoon game).

Why do I care so much about who goes in the afternoon?

Well let's just say that your friendly neighborhood blogger will be off on another adventure. A repeat trip to try to duplicate the success of last year's jaunt. Some would say that sequels are never as good as the original. But I'm willing to take that chance...and hope that the karma of a 3-0 lifetime road record (along with the karma of "The Metmaster") will trump the karma of Chase Utley and bad sequels.

No, I don't expect to see Carlos Delgado and Keith Hernandez on the Amtrak again. In fact, I know that's not possible. But besides a victory, there's one sequel I'm looking forward to:

I'm bringing a bag full back to New York and will enjoy one of them on my couch for the nightcap. Can I bring one for anybody else?
