I suppose it’s a stretch to think that Angel Pagan left Wednesday’s game to ice his midsection because he was laughing so hard at Jerry Seinfeld in the booth tonight when he came up with that “Roscoe the Bed Bug Dog” line?
It was the only downer to a big night at Citi Field as R.A. Dickey’s knuckler was floating again, Seinfeld had us rolling in the booth, Jose Reyes hit one to the Mo Zone, and the Mets kept rolling in June with a 5-0 win over the Tigers which took about half the time of Tuesday’s miniseries, and less than a third of the time that it took to play that tennis match that still hasn’t ended (and all these baseball organizations are worried about pitch counts … Bah! Nicolas Mahut probably served about 4,000 times Wednesday.) Jerry had a show about nothing, R.A. had a game where he gave up nothing. (Kinda hoping that Dickey, now at 6-0, gets to 11-0. I’ll reveal why when the time is right.) And thankfully, Pagan should be fine with a day of rest.
As big as the night was, the day started out dicey with a report about some Johan Santana allegations on a Fort Myers golf course. Very strange because it comes out now even though the event happened in 2009. But that’s the point, it happened in 2009. Remember 2009? That year, as we know, sucked for everyone. Why it comes out now is a mystery, but I’m with Keith Hernandez on this … I hope that is the end of that. And for a case that was open and shut six months ago where no charges, I’m not sure what we were supposed to learn, or how this makes anyone a better person, that it comes out now.
What the Mets did tonight, this month, and this year, should prove that last year’s bed bugs have been sniffed out once and for all.
