Pedroad Trip!

Well, I won't be writing on here for a week or so as I'm making a trip to New York to see the Mets play three games against the Phillies. This isn't going to be the pennant race extravganza I had in mind when booking the tickets in February but it will be memorable for at least one reason - I finally get to see Pedro Martinez pitch! Only it's for the Phillies!
Oh well, it'll still be good to see one of the best pitchers who's ever lived take to the mound (against Oliver Perez, what a contrast).

See you next week, hopefully with photographs and tales of Citi Field's eateries.

In the meantime check out:
-wezen-ball opines that this could actually be one of the greatest baseball seasons ever.

-John Smoltz's next start and whether he can be better than Beyond the Boxscore's pessimistic prediction.

-The Wright Stache enjoys some burgers at Citi Field. Queueing for two innings though, is it really worth it? The answere is probably yes, with the current lineup.

-Cardboard Gods is still pretty much my favourite baseball blog.
