Walk up to Brett Myers right now and ask him how happy he was to face the Nationals tonight. After he finished throwing sunflower seeds at you like a small child he would smile and probably reply "How the f*** do you think I feel?"
Yeppers Brett...nothing like facing a team the caliber of the Nats to make you feel good about yourself again. They only managed to score one run, this thanks to a fielding error by Chase Utley that let the lone run even get on base.
Speaking of Mr. Utley, he remembered how to hit a home-run tonight. It is a good thing he did because the rest of the squad left their bats in Philly. I hope someone can get them down to DC for tomorrow's game.
The Phills should have won this game and they did. Those bats really better show up by tomorrow because they are facing Tim Redding who likes to batter the Phills the way Myers likes to batter his...well... now... that's too easy.
The Mets also won tonight, beating the Marlins 4 to 1 in Miami. You know Miami right? That's the city the doesn't even realize it HAS a baseball team. Old Man Delgado hit a two run shot and Oliver Perez remembered how to win a game after a month of forgetfulness.
So that means we are still half a game back. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Oh yeah, in other news Brett Favre faxed in his request to be reinstated today, prompting me to say...WHO THE HELL CARES??!!??
And in Other, Other news the Angels just got better by getting Mark Teixeira from Atlanta for a first baseman and a AA righty. Just what we need...thanks Alanta for making the team with the best record even better.
