9/9/09...MLB's never sounded so new age-y. I'll be at the Yankees-Rays game trying to get one or two Snoopy dolls.* Maybe they'll have math-magic embedded in their fluffy hearts!
An aside: I was born on the 9th (not of September). Today, I have to be at work at 9am. I'll be 29 next year. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING?
*Also, possibly seeing Jeter break Lou Gehrig's all-time Yankees hits record. MVP! MVP! MVP!

Feral Cat Crashes Mets Home Opener
On Monday, I got so distracted by Nick Swisher's pinch pitching that I forgot about that other New York baseball team's freak field occurrence! As you can see below, the Mets were cursed blessed surprised [something-ed] by the appearance of a mangy feral cat during their home opener at Citi Field. (Big props to Kei for reminding me of this.)
THAT CAT WANTS BLOOD! Apparently, the Mets have a long history of feline invasions, most notably when a black cat took the field during a 1969 game against the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs' Ron Santo Cursed by Black Magic Mets Cat, 1969
That cat did well by the Mets. According to this website:
Ever since the early years of Shea, kittens and cats have been roaming around the field. Some will remember the Chicago Cubs-New York Mets game in 1969, when a black cat scurried across the visiting dugout. The Mets, of course, went on to win the NLDS and World Series that year.
Are the Mets using demon animals to cast evil enchantments on visiting teams?
Evidence against the above statement: they lost Monday's game.
Evidence in support of the above statement: they signed Gary Sheffield.
(Here's a funny, short New York Magazine article about GS. Worth reading if you have a moment.)
Of course, we all know that black magic mastery takes time and, in the interim, mistakes get made. NEW YORK METS, I AM WATCHING YOU AND IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CURSE DEREK JETER OR IN ANY OTHER WAY HARM THE NEW YORK YANKEES, I WILL BE FORCED TO WEILD MY FORMIDABLE SPELLCASTING POWERS AGAINST YOU.*
*Although my shabby internet skills have prevented me from finding the post on the now defunct Ponytail Junction blog, in which I revealed that I had become possessed by our backyard witch neighbor, it really happened and, as a result, I know magic. Just ask Rachel.
