From Flushing to San Fran to LA to Boston

Here's another baseball adage. Just when you are sure things are going to get even worse, they turn around. Well, that may not always be true. In fact, in baseball it often isn't. For the Mets, the past 9 days have gone from disappointing in Flushing to exciting to San Fran. From then it went to miserable in San Francisco and onto the remarkable in Boston. With Santana displaying his own form of gutty magic again and with Santos and 9th inning defense in the 2nd game, the Mets seem back from the dead.

Or were they ever really dead or even dying? We can now all attest that the Mets aren't dead or even dying. They are hurting. Now add our closer tothe mix of walking wounded. Correction. In this case, non-walking wounded.

Sounds like disk problems, but I only say that because I have 2 herniated ones. When they act up, it feels like what KRod described, including sciatica paid shooting down my left leg. When it's really bad, there is a tingle all the way down to the toes accompanied by lower back spasms. In those cases, I can stand for maybe to the count of 5 before needing to lie down. I hope this is not the case for KRod. I hope it's something more easily treatable.

So now can we sweep and hope for a Yankee win against the Phillies too? A move back into 1st just before arriving home to face the Nats would be nice. Maybe Reyes, KRod, and Church will be ready then. More remarkable things have happened in the past 2 days. Just ask the Bosox.
