Base10 just took his last exam. Hey, a 'C' is good, right? Anyway, it's over so now is time for other things.

If you caught the Mets game last night you got quite a surprise. Jose Reyes hit for the cycle for the third time in the history of Shea. (Interestingly, the announcers said last night that while the number of no-hitters and the number of cycle-hitters is about the same, the Mets have had eight players hit for the the cycle in their history but no no-hitters. (Someday I'll get around calculating the odds off the Mets not having had a no-hitter). Alas, the Reyes effort was lot as Billy Wagner blew a save and allowed the go-ahead run in the ninth. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Well, Base10 made it to a cool spot to watch today's get-away game, the final game against Cincinnati. The Mets can even up the series today. The boys actually have a tough road trip ahead in inter-league play. The face an offensively powerful Toronto club, then go to play the Sox at Fenway (you know how fond the Fenway faithful have been of us since 86, right?) finishing the road trip against some baseball team up in the Bronx--their name eludes me at the moment.
