And the sky hasn't even fallen...

...Not yet, anyway. Carlos Delgado just hit two home runs and drove in nine in this afternoon's double dip opener, the Mets first ever win in any game played as part of an intra-city, two stadium double header.

The second home run stoked the fears of sky-loving citizens everywhere, but it seems like everything's holding up alright.

Game 2 starts in about ten minutes. It's Pedro vs. Sidney Ponson, who I'm told won't be allowed to pitch with his customary jagged bottleneck.

Sidney Ponson everyone!

15 runs sounds good to me. Can it be duplicated? It's high time we fix the broken record.
