Greetings from downtown Montreal, where the only sign of sports is advertisements of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Everyone on their hockey team played with someone else last season, so how can you expect pictures of them anywhere?
Word comes from back home that the Mets won yesterday. The score was 5-1 and the gist of it was 1. Santana was pitching and 2. the Mets did not hit any homeruns.
I only got internet access today after a mix-up with the wireless here. What they call wireless is not exactly that- you use a cable they provide. Anyway, after seeing some highlights of the game, you realize the Mets could have easily blown this one, and it would have been bad. Our lefties in the pen could not get an out, yet Sean Green and Brian Stokes someone managed to get just enough to preserve the 8th for Francisco Rodriguez in the 9th. And what a 9th that was. A nice clean 10-pitch-two-strikeout performance. Of course, by that time the score was already 5-1, thanks to some more smallball by the Mets which included a suicide squeeze.
Just looking at the highlights on mlb.com made me glad I did not have to endure the Fox telecast. Use your mute buttons when watching the ESPN feed tonight. I'll check in with the Gameday audio feed.
