Where's Kelly Leak When we Need Him?
Coach Morris Buttermaker's New York Mets gave the Dodgers and their fans an entertaining 3-2 victory on Monday night to open a three-game set at Dodger Stadium. The Mets made five (count em... Five!) errors in the field, including a errant throw from Jeremy Reed to catcher Ramon Castro in the 11th inning that allowed Mark Loretta to score the winning run from third. Oh, and then there was that boneheaded baserunning error by Ryan Church where he missed third base completely on what would have been the go-ahead run on Angel Pagan's triple in the top of the 11th. Thank you very much Mark Loretta for spotting that, although it appeared that half the team was on top of it as well. Obviously it was not the most well played baseball game you will see, but the Dodgers will definitely take it regardless of how ugly it was. Randy Wolf pitched another good game, going 7 2/3 and allowing only 2 runs (one of which was a runner that was inherited by Cory Wade). Yet, Wolfie got another no-decision (that's five now in only nine starts). But the Dodgers win and that's all that matters. I would love to say more, but I have a paper to write for one of my classes. Exciting!

As Steiner said, "if it was a fish, they'd throw it back. But it's a win, so the Dodgers will keep it."
ReplyDeleteHaha that's a great line I must say. Ya it was ugly, but we'll take them any way they come. I'll be there tonight and I'm hoping Bills is dealing again
ReplyDeleteCool...have fun. It seemed like every time I was at a game last year, Bills was throwing. I had to give up my tix for Weds as I'm back up in Oakland this week.
