Oh Happy Days!
England out of the World Cup, the Mets beat the Yankees, the sun is shining, and we’re heading off to Las Vegas on Monday for the start of The Great Road Trip.

From Newark to Newark
Another great day in Delaware today. Lots of training, catching up with old friends and meeting new people.
We started the day in Newark, Delaware (pronounced newARK) and ended up close to Newark, New Jersey (pronounced NEWerk). How a non-local is supposed to know these things I have no idea!

It was a perfect example of how exciting a 0-0 game can be.
