What a Day: Part 3

11:03 PM

Mets win! An absolute gem by Santana and another HUGE night by Carlos Delgado. 7 and 1/3 innings for Santana and a huge 2 RBI single by Delgado in the first, followed later on by two monsterous home runs. Mets lead goes back to two games and Santana proves again that he may be the difference between the '07 and '08 Mets. The bullpen got the job done tonight too. Some clutch outs in the 8th from Feliciano (against Ryan Howard) and Stokes (against Burrell). I'll tell ya, this win did a lot to redeem for me what had been a pretty stinky sports day so far. Thanks Mets.

Across Roosevelt Avenue, the tennis match is tight. Serena won the first set 6-4 and Jankovic was a break up and had a chance to serve for the second set, but she couldn't close it out and we are currently at 5-5. Jankovic was down 0-40, battled back and lost after the 5th deuce. This has been quite a match. Lots of long, entertaining rallies.

The latest on Brady: Reports are swirling that Tom Brady has a torn left ACL and will be out for the year. But, he is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow, so how the sources know is a little bit of a mystery and I won't believe it until I hear more tomorrow. Of course, ESPN is all over the story.

More later. (or tomorrow. :)
