Go Lance, Go Mets!

Lance Armstrong had an excellent ride today.  He won the stage and came to within 22 seconds of taking the yellow jersey.  Ullrich is closing but is still many minutes behind Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton withdrew from the Tour after aggravating a back injury he sustained in a crash in stage 6.  While this is good news for Armstrong, Hamilton's injury must have been exruciating.  Cycling fans will remember Hamilton raced most of the tour and came in third last year with a broken collarbone.  He is a true tough guy.
 
While there's good news in France, news was not so good at Shea.  The Mets lost 5-1 to the Phillies in an awful showing.  Base10 is waiting for the start of the game as he blogs.  Glavine is starting today.  The Mets plan on bringing up a new pitcher, Scott Erikson to pitch on Monday.  Base10 wonders what happened to Ginter.
