Back at the Aerie

Got back to the Aerie this afternoon after driving through a monsoon between Ithaca and Elmira on Route 13. It let up just as I pulled into the driveway but that didn't last long. A half hour latter it was raining again but much more gently.

A groundhog has shown up again. So has a black bear. The first was browsing on the clover in the yard this afternoon. The bear was at the bird feeders again. I guess I'll be pulling them in for the summer.

Sitting here watching the Mets on ESPN and I have to say I am very disappointed in Mike Pelfrey's performance. He's gone 8 innings and allowed 6 hits: no runs, but six hits. Smith came in and gave up another hit: no runs but a hit. The Rockies managed to get 7 hits tonight. That's as many as the Mets have given up in the last three games.

Oh yeah, the Mets won 7-0 for their 9th consecutive game.

Unfortunately, the Phillies won today too so the Mets are still 1/2 game out of first. Also unfortunate is that the All Star break has begun and the Mets do not play again until Thursday.


Right now I'm ....
