The Mighty Metropolitans are no match for Big Blue

It was an epic battle. The University of Michigan Wolverines were pitted against their arch rivals, the New York Mets in a baseball contest that will forever be rememberd as "The Tie Game." The New York Mets are the favorite to win the National League this year especially after their acquisition of Johann Santana (no relation to Carlos Santana) while the storied University of Michigan Wolverines are always regarded as the best team in whatever sport is being played. On this day the Pond Scum from Shea and the Shining Baseball Team on the Hill from the Fish met in Grapefruit play and what was supposed to be an exhibition turned into a two hour and forty-four minute war. Fifteen pitchers and thirty position players were used in this battle royale and each one is counting their blessings they were able to leave the game alive...

Okay it probably wasn't that great of a game but Michigan tying an MLB team, spring training or no, is worth blogging about.

Stay tuned because tomorrow SLU takes on the glorious and heroic St. Louis Cardinals...
