Wright and Nady left two men on in the first, Reyes stranded two in the second. Theb in the 3rd inning with the bases loaded and none out, one run already in, Floyd pops out, Franco strikes out and Woodward grounds out.
Gary Cohen gave some ridiculous stats about walk-off home runs. The first two in franchise history were hit on the same day in early 1962. Overall the Mets hit 6 walk-off homers in 1962 and 6 more in 1963 and that total is still the most in franchise history, even those were the two worst teams the Mets ever had.
Glavine pitched another great game, I've never seen him strike out batters like this.
Gary Cohen won't shut up about a perfect game or no-hitter. Other teams have homer announcers who don't jinx their own pitchers, not the Mets.
I really thought Glavine was going to give up runs in the 6th when Wright made an error, then Woodward booted an easy ground ball that should have ended the inning. Thankfully, he kept his cool and got the third out.
David Wright looks to be out of his slump finally.
Jose Valentin even broke through with an RBI single.
Xavier Nady has been the best and most consistent hitter on the team this year other than Carlos Delgado. Big three run homer by him to give the bullpen some breathing room. And Tom Glavine too, he wants to get to 300 and he's pitched well enough to have a couple more wins this season, so he was definitely thankful for the extra offense.
Duaner Sanchez is my favorite player on the team. I don't even know what else to say.
I really like the way Willie is using Jorge Julio. He walked the first batter but struck out the side. I just hope he isn't teasing us, and he won't revert back to the Julio of old in a pressure situation.
Does anyone know why there were dogs on the field before the game?
So they accomplished taking 3 out of 4 against Washington and Pittsburgh, if they can take 2 out of 3 from Atlanta this will be a very successful homestand.
