What an enjoyable game. I love a good pitchers' duel much more than a slugfest.
Brandon Webb vs Pedro, awesome.

The team shows great heart constantly coming back and repeatedly winning in the last at bat and/or in extra innings.

Lastings Milledge dropped a fly ball. Luckily it didn't turn into anything so it will pay off as a learning experience.
Pedro was very gracious about it after the game. Saying he told Milledge not to worry about it, that it's a team game and he would pick him up, and Lastings would pick up Pedro at times. Which he did.
That throw to third base was awesome.
The in game interview with his parents was so awkward. They were either nervous or not paying attention because they're answers were short, rehearsed and sometimes not even related to the question.

Great play by Jose Reyes in the 10th inning. After Green stole he second, Reyes fielded an easy grounder and fired to second to get Green. Wagner ruined it by walking the next batter but it was still cool.

Wagner was good last night. And my favorite player, Duaner Sanchez was absolutely spectacular.

I got very nervous when I heard Jorge Julio was warming up in the bullpen. Then I remembered he doesn't play for us anymore.

Willie has no idea what to do with bunts. In the 11th, he had Reyes sacrifice the runner to second. But in the 13th he should have saved his last player (Castro) and had a pitcher bunt him to third. Having a guy on second with 1 out means you need one of the next two hitters to get a hit. Moving a guy to third with 1 out means you need the next hitter to hit a flyball.

After the Reyes bunt LoDuca struck out on a bad call, he did go all the way around. It was cool though because for some reason SNY picked up LoDuca arguing with the ump. He said "No way! No way! You gotta ask! You gotta ask!"



Beltran looked in a lot of pain after fouling the ball of his knee. He may be ready Friday though, or expected to miss only a couple games at most. If he does we at least have Endy Chavez to fill in



Remember this about the 1986 Mets. What made them so good was that everyone was contributing. Remember this about the 2005 Mets. Once you got past the top of the order, the bottom half was full of automatic outs. Last night the game winning run was a result of hits by Jose Valentin and Endy Chavez.
