Mets Beat Reds 2-1. Santana Great. Murphy Homers. Putz & K-Rod Close It Out.

Well this went according to plan!

Santana was great for 99 pitches.  Smart managing by Jerry to get him out on a cold cold day (see Gooden and Leary).  I was hoping the Reds would get a hit (it took a while) so there would be no temptation to leave him in there.

Dan Murphy homers!   Church makes one of the greatest defensive plays you’ll see all year (MLB is cheap with embedded clips…watch Sportscenter)!   Tell Sheffield to enjoy the pine.

Putz & K-Rod.

Mets Win!

Everything we all wanted happened today.  A good day.  May there be many more.   Switiching over to YES now (don’t be a hater).

Guide To Obstructed View Seats At Yankee Stadium

If I didn’t have a real job I’d do one for Citi.

I also think the description of “rapey areas” at New Yankee while scary and an interesting choice of words is accurate.   There’s a lot of lonely areas on ramps with nothing around but cinderblocks.   I don’t know how many people get mugged in the middle of baseball games, but some of these ramps are lonesome.
