Mets Squeak One Out in Extras against Lowly Nats

The Mets seem to be having a little trouble with the Nationals. A team that's won only 8 games all season is giving fits to the team that supposed to win the NL. That's a little messed up.

I suppose every great team has their achilles heel team. The Suns this season had a lot of trouble with the Hawks. The Hawks. The Suns are arguably the second best team in the NBA this season (assuming Dallas as the first - but as my best subject is not basketball, I don't think I'd defend my position very vigorously). Maybe the Nationals are going to be the Mets' Hawks.

So it took 12 long innings and a good start by Tom Glavine, but the Mets finally pulled out a win. And who do we have to thank for this win? Damion Easley for tying it up (again) and Beltran and the boys for breaking through in the 12th.

I'm a little pissed because I couldn't actual watch either the Mets of the Sox games today. (BTW the Sox lost today to some bullshit team in the Bronx. I'm trying not to think about it) Fox blocks all the games in my baseball package during their broadcast and for some reason, Fox on the West Coast thinks we're more interested in the Cubs/Cardinals games instead of the Yankees/Red Sox. Who gives a rat's ass about the Cubs/Cardinals? I'm basically been forced to watch 3 Cubs Cardinals games so far this year and they've all been very boring. Who wouldn't want to watch the greatest rivalry in all of sports? Apparently Fox thinks we do. It's bullshit.

Then Cox Cable didn't broadcast the Mets Nationals game in the Extra Innings package. It seems I can watch as much Kansas City as I want, but the Mets are blacked out a couple times a week. I only got the package 10 days ago and the Mets have already been blacked out 3 times. Sometimes I hate the TV.

So I had to "watch" both games through the game cast, little play by play flash feeder on the MLB sites. It's nice to "see" the games this way, but you have no real idea of what's going on. Modern life has made me spoiled.

Alright, I guess that's all I've got. I'll write more tomorrow.
