in the wake of stuff that moves

I have a new passport.

Thursday evening, Centavo defeated Jets 10-7.  I had a very good game in goal, winning a fair amount of one-on-ones and having some nice saves.

Last night, 2wanda and i went with most of my company to the Diamond Suite at Giants Stadium (i refuse to acknowledge the corporate moniker) to watch the Giants thump the Dodgers.  Baseball at the stadium is vastly better than baseball on TV, and baseball in a suite (with free food and booze) directly behind home plate beats baseball anywhere else in the stadium.  There were many good defensive plays and Jason Schmidt, after an iffy first inning, settled down to have a very good outing.

Tonight, Kim and i went to missionista's and dr_memory's housewarming party.  We had the fortune of being the first ones there, and thus were able to monopolize our hosts' time (and i also took the opportunity to install myself as wine tsar).  I was thoroughly amused by mangosteen's attempt to place my accent somewhere in the British Isles.  Besides him, i also met ladycalliope, and, well, probably a bunch of other LiveJournal-enabled people but whose usernames i neglected to inquire about.  A very fun time was had.

It just blows me away how flawed all the top NL teams are this year. The Mets are clearly the class of the NL, but with Pedro on the DL (again) and Glavine at the very least at risk to be out, who do the Mets roll out for a best of five series? Steve Trachsel? El Duque? Bruce Berenyi?

You can do this exercise with all of the top NL teams - I really think there might be six, maybe even seven AL teams that are better than the best NL team. I know that anything can happen in a short series, but I have to imagine that you could get some pretty long odds on any NL team winning the World Series.

It's been a weird season... for a while, so many teams were within shooting distance of the playoffs, then came August and a lot of teams fell behind.
