russ: here's an interesting point. i don't know if you remember it because it was back on april 13th, this is the triple that granderson hit last night, the winning run. on april 13th, if you recall, the mets beat the marlins 2 to 1 following a four-game losing streak. myself and the guys in the sports office were saying what's everybody complaining about? the post-game show, the papers, everybody, talk radio the next day, because terry collins said after the game he viewed it as a must win because he wanted to -- ernie: sure. russ: everybody was killing him for panicking. why are you panicking? here's the story. since he did that, including that victory, the team is 10 and 2. ernie: got a message out there. russ: lit a fire under everybody and they've been rolling. ernie: keep it going. what's this with the sacramento kings?
