Things I Learned About Baseball This Weekend.

1) There's indian rubbing in the majors, which means Chuck Knoblauch was correct in the 1998 playoffs after all.

2) "Enigmatic" is Spanish for "sucky."

3) The Mets are contenders, according to the Star-Ledger, as they comment on the enigmatic Jose Contreras:

"But in 10 starts against contending teams -- the White Sox, Red Sox, A's, Rangers, Dodgers and Mets -- he's 2-4 with a 7.61 ERA"

4) The Mets are not contenders, according to the New York Post.

5) After a great win against Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning on Saturday, the Red Sox apparently "awoke."  Which means their $130 million payroll hasn't been trying too hard for about 100 games.  Should they be proud of this or embarrassed? Didn't anybody remember to supply the "Cowboy Up" tee shirts this season?
