I went to bed at 7 pm last night due to an ailing stomach from eating bad Campbell's soup I bought at Wal-Mart (I hope Google gets all of that). Needless to say, I didn't watch MTV reality star Blake DeWitt's lumber around the bases while Ryan Church sat stunned on the warning track. I also missed Moises Alou stealing home. What, did he go in with his hands waving and Russell Martin didn't want to get urine all over himself? I'll have to check that one on video later. The Mets smacked around Hiroki Kuroda but couldn't touch Hong Chi-Kuoh or Takaishi Saito (the Dodgers will soon be known as the Los Angeles Toyota Four-Runner Dodgers). The final score was 5-4 thanks to DeWitt's inside-the-park job. If MTV had filmed that play, it would have been less exciting than most scenes in "The Hills", it took so long. Nelson Figueroa's ERA is settling out at replacement level, just as I suspected it would.
The Phillies lost, keeping the margin at 1-1/2 games, but the Mets record is now 16-15, and we are in fourth place, tied with Atlanta. We do have seven games with the Reds and Nats, though, and we need to get healthy in that stretch. Interleague starts after that with the Yankees at the Stadium, followed by Atlanta and Colorado on the road, then Florida and the Dodgers at home, and then another West Coast trip. The Mets have to make three separate California trips before the All-Star break because of the Angels being on the schedule. I'm only making two this year, and I don't have to exert myself, other than to eat vendor dinners. Hey, it's not easy downing a dessert after beer, appetizers, and a complete entree, you know! That has nothing to do with my stomach ache, yesterday, of course. That was all Campbell's and Wal-Mart (one more shot, Google, don't let me down).

Campbell Soup does not make anyone sick - it heals and comforts. Also (and I hope Google picks this up) that it is a medical fact that the last item a person eats is 100% of the time never the cause of their illness. Call you Doctor and ask him/her.
Riddle me this, Anon-o-mouse: If the Campbell's soup wasn't bad, why were there mold formations on the potatoes that were lurking at the bottom of the microwaveable container? If that isn't "bad", I'm not sure what is.
Also, that was my second microwaveable bowl of Campbell's soup from the same Wal-Mart in two days. I didn't see any mold on the first one, but I ate it kind of fast and wasn't really paying attention. Likely the first one was the culprit for my illness the second day, while the moldy one was just a lagniappe.
Hmmm, you're writing from Philly, and Campbell's world headquarters are just over the river in Camden. Biased, much?
