Alex Cora Is A True Clubhouse Leader

Grission doesn't take days off:

Inspired by Jason Bay's arrival, the U.S.-Canada hockey rivalry is in full force in the Mets clubhouse. Players are gathering this afternoon at a nearby establishment to watch. If Canada wins, Jeff Francoeur foots the bill. If the U.S. wins, Bay pays. And, if it's a tie after regulation, it's Alex Cora on the hook. There's only one other Canadian in the clubhouse, Shawn Bowman, and he's not in position to share responsibility for a Team Canada loss. "I'd have to call mom for a loan," Bowman said.

1st: 12:50 CAN: G-Jonathan Toews (Assist: Mike Richards)

Cora: wut

2nd: 7:13 CAN: G-Corey Perry (Assist: Ryan Getzlaf, Duncan Keith)

Bay: Nasty rebound, eh?

Bowman: eh

Francoeur: AWWWWWW CHICKEN NUGGETS! COME ON AMERICA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE??? 

Cora: huh

2nd: 12:44 USA: G-Ryan Kesler (Assist: Patrick Kane)

Francoeur: YEEEEEE HAW!! BACK IN BUSINESS! THESE COLORS DON'T RUN. 

Bay: eh

Bowman: eh

Cora: hmm

3rd: 19:35 USA: G-Zach Parise - with extra attacker (Assist: Jamie Langenbrunner, Patrick Kane)

Francoeur: WOOOOOOOOO!!! WOOO!! THE BRAVES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!! 

Bay: eh?

Bowman: eh

Cora: #$%&!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? HOCKEY IS THE WORST SPORT EVER. PUERTO RICO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A RINK. 

OT: 7:40 CAN: G-Sidney Crosby (Assist: Jarome Iginla)

Bay: eh!

Francoeur: Meh. Who cares about hockey anyway?

Cora: ...

Outstanding.

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

If the US had won they really needed to dress those two up like the gus from strange brew.
