The sports world was watching last Sunday night. All eyes on ESPN. R.A. Dickey took the mound after two straight one-hit shutouts. He was going up against the Mets in town brother, the Yankees. Everyone had jumped on the knuckleballer's bandwagon. He came back to reality. Gave up five runs in six innings while walking and striking out three.
R.A. didn't get the loss, so his record remains a league best 11-1. And he's on the mound again tonight in Los Angeles looking for his 12th win. Maybe getting away from the NY media will help keep him focused on tonight's game (even though LA's media isn't too far behind in infamous as NY's). Getting back on the road and keeping the distractions at bay.
The ace takes the hill tonight as the Mets look to push their win streak up to three.
