May not be politically correct, but it's the truth.  Those words, "That's gangsta" were uttered by New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel as the answer to the first question pitched to him after Saturday's win against the Florida Marlins, known in some circles as October spoilers.  Perhaps the question was:  What did you think of Santana's performance?

For some ungodly reason DTV wasn't showing the METS / marlins game.  I had spent the morning and early noon time attending the D.C. book festival (bad idea).  A sea of humanity sweating in the noon day muck and mud of the Washington mall.  I said the hell with it and came home.

Tried getting on the blog but bloggers didn't seem to be feeling me.  It was definitely a veteran blog atmosphere.  So I just let it go and waited for the game to end.

I watched the highlights on MLB.com and the noise of Shea after each Santana strikeout sent chills through my body.  Johan Santana pitched a gem.  Yes, he was...Gangsta!
