Before we get on to baseball notes we like to take the time to give a big thanks to Lisa’s Cousins Vinny and Phyllis. They made a temporary home for the TBB while we were traveling and fed us till our hearts were content as well as chauffeuring us to any destination we asked even if it was something asinine like a winery in Tennessee. We had a blast with them and are truly sorry we ate and drank you out of house and hold.
Baseball notes:
Hmmmmmm is there any news worthy notes today? Well incase you live under a rock we are proud to inform you that our little Johan Santana pitched the Mets first no- hitter on Friday night against the Cardinals. It took the Mets 51 seasons for this to happen. Left fielder Mike Baxter made a great catch in the seventh when he chased down a fly ball hit by Yadier Molina. Baxter crashed into the wall and was taken out of the game with a left shoulder contusion. It saved Santana’s no hit attempt and it was nice to see players taking one for the team and everyone coming together to help Santana achieve the no-hitter. The final out recorded was a strike out to last year’s World Series MVP David Freese. Santana went on to throw 134 pitches that night with 5 walks and 8 strikeouts. Lisa and Papa L watched the final out together. Papa L was happy for once and prompted him to once again start talking about Tom Seaver and how he came so close to a no-hitter during Papa L’s time. As if Johan Santana’s no hitter was not enough for everyone to celebrate we are happy to announce that for obvious reasons Santana is our TBB Super Hero of the week. We know he is tearing up right now as he reads about this great honor we just gave him.
