Top of the fifth, tie game. Two men on, no outs, Carlos Delgado comes to the plate for the Mets. I say out loud to no one in particular (because no one else is in the room with me as I watch the Mets-Cardinals playoff game and read for my Development of Language class), "You know what we need right now? A three-run homer. That would be good."

Commercial break, and when the game comes back, Delgado smashes a three-run homer and the Mets take the lead! I claim at least .001% of the credit.

Also my boyfriend David Wright (he is 23, a terrific third baseman and so cute, we are totally getting married) hit his first post-season home run tonight. Awww, they grow up so fast.
