On cycles and shutouts

Before yesterday afternoon, no Mets pitcher had worked 7 full innings in a game. Before yesterday afternoon the LA Dodgers had won 10 of their last 11 games. John Maine came within 2 outs of a complete game shutout yesterday afternoon, throwing a hardy middle finger in the face of both streaks. John Maine also had sex with your sister and you loved it because it was Johnny Fucking Maine!

Also last night, Carlos Gomez hit for the cycle. That would be a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game. Actually, he hit for the reverse cycle, hitting in order a home run, a triple, a double, and a single. Gomez was an exciting, young centerfield prospect for the Mets last year who was traded in the offseason. Normally I'd be crushed when the Mets trade that kind of talent, but in this case it netted Johan Santana who also fucked your sister. Actually, it turns out she's kind of a whore. Anyway, good for Gomez who is still learning to be a Major League hitter, but looks to be an exciting piece of the outfield for the Twins for years to come.
