You know what struck me about Saturday's game?Not the nine run 7th inning which featured four home runs ... though that was cool.
Not Oliver Perez's four hitless innings ... that was just plain mind-blowing (yet strangely typical of Oliver's inconsistency).
No, it's that the newly created shortstop battle between Alex Cora and Ruben Tejada has a sponsor. Seriously. "This battle for shortstop is sponsored by the new movie The Bounty Hunter" is what was read during the television broadcast with the accompanying graphic.
Leave it to the Mets to turn a season changing injury into a profit. It's strangely admirable.
