N.Y. Killer

John Lannan has now won three straight vs teams from New York, going into the 9th each time. Two of those games he went the distance in which he gave up 0 earned runs. Can you take a guess which games were against the Mets and which were against the Yankees?

Oliver Perez was...ugh. Instead of Bad Ollie or Good Ollie, let's just say we're seeing Typical Ollie. Six innings, six more walks. He has walked 8.84 batters per nine innings this season!

Despite getting a hit, David Wright is falling into one of those slumps again. When that happens, the Mets put up zeroes. He should have had a couple of hits today though, as Nyjer Morgan made a nice play to take away an extra base hit.

Newsflash: Bobby Parnell faced three batters and retired all of them.

Ranger players report to training camp for physicals on September 12.

If you're not a fan of bacon in every meal, avoid St. Hubert's in Montreal.

It's the Nats

I heard the score was 5-0 after a couple of innings. Livan was on his way out of the rotation. But no, it was the Mets who were ahead. And they held on for the win.

Biggest play of the game was the double play ball hit by Adam Dunn, who was the tying run in the 8th. Great play by Daniel Murphy, who as we see, can pick it at first. With him it's just a matter of instincts and a little more flexibility to stretch. Pedro Feliciano was stretching indeed, looking like a natural first baseman on the return throw by Alex Cora to complete the twin killing.

When ordering coffee from Tim Horton's here in Montreal, when they ask you if you want cream and sugar, you say yes, then they go 1 and 1, they mean 1 cream and 1 sugar. The cashier during the AM rush hour seemed quite annoyed at my lack of understanding. It's probably because I spoke English.
