Just not at 9:48 p.m. on the first of June, at the end of the 8,020th game in the history of the New York Mets.Now, Johan Santana is peering in at a St. Louis Cardinals hitter named David Freese — and all Freese has on his résumé is a World Series MVP — and the count is 3-and-2, and there are 27,069 people inside Citi Field who are on their feet and millions of invisible fans scattered elsewhere holding their breath. The score is 8-0, but that became irrelevant a long time ago.
