Knuckleballer Dickey Leads Mets Over Braves

I forgot to mention the excellent pitching performance by R.A. Dickey on Sunday night against the Braves.  He held them to 4 hits, a walk and one earned run in 8 innings, to improve his record to 3-6.  Here's ESPN:
Dickey's knuckleball was floating and darting and fooling the Braves. He allowed just three hits through five innings and no runner got past second until McCann homered.
His knuckleball "was dancing all over the place," McCann said. "We didn't really string anything together."
There is nothing better to watch than a ballgame where a pitcher has his knuckleball working.  Every fat guy watching TV swears he would kill the thing, but the best hitters in the game can't touch it.  Yeah, that's right, I'm talking about you, Cubs Dad.
