are you ready for the birds and bees, the apple trees and a whole lotta' foolin' around?

was tipped off to this by alex j. who's in?

sonya does it again!

congratulations to my hero, sonya thomas, for setting a new american hot dog eating record. she ate 37 (beating her own record she set last year!) and was second only to the great one, takeru kobayashi, who ate 49.

it was the smallest margin of victory for the reigning champ, who two days prior showed off his new hairdo at shea stadium where he threw out the first pitch.

listmaker and i attended sunday's game where the mets stunk it up, so we missed out. we did however get to see the D-Train pitch and received stars and stripes mets caps.
