Bubba Dogs

Huge shoutout to P.J. McMenamin, a Sea Isle homeowner/Bubba Dog customer, whose Mt. Airy pub, McMenamins, appears at number five on the list of   Philadelphia Weekly’s list of Philly’s top 50 bars.  Well done as well to Chef Larry Melison who gets rave reviews for his cuisine at this great spot.

24 days until opening day!

For die-hards, the folks at Philliesnation do a great job at reporting everything Phillies. Spring training daily update, injury reports, trade rumors, etc… 

While the Phillies pitcher’s Brad Lidge and Chris Benson are progressing particularly well from their respective injuries, the Mets are clearly hurting.  They currently have 13 players that are suffering from a whole host of injuries, some more severe than others.

This from Long Island newspaper Newsday:

How desperate is the Mets’ injury situation now? It’s much easier to simply list the healthy position players on the team’s projected roster for Opening Day, which, by the way, is March 31.

So here they are: David Wright, Jose Reyes and Ramon Castro.

Could the stars be aligned any better?  The Met/Phils rivalry this year could wind up as the second best in all of baseball (Yanks/Sox #1).  What makes it so intriguing is that the two teams have rarely, if ever, been this competitive at the same time.  It’s going to be a fun season.  April 18th, Mets visit Philly for the first time.

No surprise here.  A recent study by University of Georgia researchers has found that there is a direct correlation between exhaustion and lack of exercise.  Good article in today’s New York Times.  Bottom line, if you’re feeling beat, go for a run, lift weights, swim, row, walk, etc…  Guaranteed -  you’ll feel better

Exhausted? Go exercise!
