Unfortunately, no. The only thing I could find was an article where Harper talks about it:
In Dickey's first meeting with Bryce Harper, he threw the young phenom seven straight knuckleballs that varied in speed from 75 mph to 81 mph. He then struck out Harper on the eighth pitch, a 63 mph, drop-off-the-table curveball.
Just filthy stuff.
"He is very good," Harper said. "He throws it hard, he throws it soft. Sometimes it starts at your face and goes down into the strike zone. He is a pretty unbelievable pitcher. It was pretty fun to face him, but going 0-for-4 is not fun."
In the Yahoo inforoo fantasy league my top 5 are: Price, Bumgarner, Cain, Dickey, Tommy Hanson.
Was expecting big things from Daniel Hudson, but he's been hurt all year. So if you drafted him, I apologize, but he's the "Flanzo snake-bitten player" for 2012.
And yea Juggs, I was able to pick up Dickey because the rest of my league passed him by for some reason.
Yeah. I play in an NL-only keeper, and I grabbed him pretty late. He's part of my Death Row pitching staff along with Bumgarner, Lynn, Gonzalez and Wainwright. My worst pitcher is Cliff Lee.
Pardon me, funky, but are you really going to get in the way of this RA Dickey locomotive of love?
Yes because the real team of NY is the hottest team in baseball right now and everything is coming together. You should be thanking us for beating all the NL East teams these past 10 games. And we're gonna keep winning when Dickey faces the yanks.

In case anyone was confused about why everyone hates Yankee fans, the prosecution presents Exhibit A.
Seriously dude, Dickey is impossible not to root for, and no one cares that the Yankees are on a winning streak except Yankee fans. In case you were on a week-long bender, the Mets also swept the team you're going to have to outrace to win the division (Tampa) and just one-hit the team that you just leapfrogged to get into first.
The Yankees are extremely flawed, so pump the brakes there, chief. Don't be salty because the best pitcher in NYC plays in Queens and doesn't look like he ate 47 Big Macs before sauntering out to the mound.
Nope - NL only, keeper league, 8 teams. I rolled Bumgarner and Wainwright over from last year (both were steals - Bumgarner I kept for like a 15th rounder, Wainwright for a 17th), took Cliff Lee with my 2nd round draft pick, grabbed Gonzalez in like the 8th round, Dickey late, Lynn as a FA after his first start.
And this is why we should do keeper leagues if we have all members that are board regulars. This sounds so much more fun.

Baseball is the hardest of all fantasy sports to have a keeper league in. It's almost impossible to find enough dedicated managers that will pay attention all year. But I'm in a keeper league going on 6 years now, and it is indeed awesome.

A flawed team that wins 10 in a row? Please elaborate on that because we are doing everything correct. Don't get me wrong I am very impressed with the mets (except for jason bat) and hope they do well. Dickey is in complete control of his knuckleball and that has proven to be deadly.
Everyone hates Yankee fans because we are the best sports franchise to ever grace the earth and we acquire the best and expect to be the best every year.

I'm in one that I took over from another guy, and I'm still rebuilding in year two. I'm rooting for Dickey though because I would get to keep him as a $1 keeper

The Oakland A's won over 20 games in 2002, they did not win a World Series. Are you seriously trying to take a 10-game winning streak to say your team is flawless?
The fact you think the Yankees, whose most celebrated owner was a convicted felon who tried to ruin one of his players' lives, is the "greatest sports franchise on Earth" tells me you're either in your young 20s, an idiot, or both. There have been soccer teams on this planet for decades longer than the Yankees, with more storied histories. There are the Celtics, who have won more championships per season than the Yankees.
And people dislike Yankee fans for posts like the ones you're making right now. Your team didn't invent baseball, they won multiple titles before the color barrier was broken, and when there were 12 teams in the entire league, and so on. They won titles because their players stayed home during world wars while other teams' guys went to fight (Ted Williams?).
It's sad that a lowly Met fan knows more about your team history than you do, but that's fine. I've come to expect that from Yankee fans, who walk around with an arrogance that makes it seem as though these fans believe the game was created in the Bronx.
Few days old now but holy wow. It's times like this I really miss Fire Joe Morgan, although some guy from Esquire pretty much did the same thing. Just not nearly as well as Ken Tremendous and co.

Yankee fans suck.
Stay classy Yankee fans.
Yeah cause we all want to piss on people when we're drunk. And Flanzo I re-read that post from before and you made a lot of interesting comments about Yankee history, when clearly we aren't the only team that has been involved in some sort of corruption. But non of them were about the Yankees being in first place and the Mets holding on to the Wild Card.
I don't care about the previous World Series (we won at least one in each of the last 13 out of the last 14 decades). The game was obviously not invented in the Bronx but it was perfected because regardless of how we got our talent we still win. And winning is all that matters, ask the greatest Yankee of all time, Derek Jeter.
All that matters is this season and what's happening now. I would love to see the Mets in the world series, I don't hate the Mets, I've actually interned there after applying and I learned a lot of cool people behind the scenes work for the organization.
But I don't think they are comparable to the Yankees in a lot of ways.
BoSox trade Youk to the ChiSox?! Smells reminiscent of the Fisk mistake.
They're obviously pretty high on Middlebrooks even though his numbers seem awfully unsustainable. His minor league numbers don't exactly jump out at you so I don't know if it's too reactionary or not. Then again he's only 23 so who knows really.
And winning is all that matters, ask the greatest Yankee of all time, Derek Jeter.
Really? Pretty sure DiMaggio, Ruth, Gerhig and Mantle are still ahead of him on the greatest Yankees ever list.
And as for this season, the Yankees are like 4 games better than the Mets so let's not act like the two teams are a world apart.
Dickey getting out of that bases loaded jam was huge, but he isn't controlling his knuckle ball right now. Not good.
I can agree with everything you said in some point, Jeter is like all 4 of them combined. Run like Joe D, beloved like the Babe, captain like Gehrig, and resilient like Mantle, the guy just wants to win and play ball.
True, but they also play in the National League where the hitting isn't as intense but the NL East is a tough division.
Hoping this game lives up to the hype, doesn't feel like a regular season game, even though the Yanks clinched the season series yesterday.
