IGT 5-14-06 Sunday Against The Brewers Coming Down

[DocTee]

This sucks-- heading into a tough part of the schedule too.

I have a feeling this will be the 2006 equivalent of that deflating loss vs. Pittsburgh last year. You have to beat the also-rans if you are a serious contender-- the Yankees made a cottage industry out of drubbing Kansas City and Tampa Bay for years; we need to clean house against Washington, Florida and win series from the Milwaukees of the world. This blows.

I think that Bret has a valid point. You may not like his posting style, but I agree with him that Willie over managed with regards to his bullpen management in the ninth inning.

You mean not used in the game?

I would have considered this game one I wanted to win and that was the top of the lineup there, so maybe, yea.

If it went for much longer we still had Julio,Oliver,Bell............

This game hurt. Now I'm going to be in a pissy mood until Tuesday night.

Yes. I was between rooms when Feliciano made his appearance--I assumed that Wags had been put in and taken out while I was futzing around between radios.

The Mets are 15-13 since their 8-1 start.

Umm, unless there's a joke I'm missing here, Billy Wagner wasn't pitching. It was Pedro Feliciano.

I was a a Mothers Day party at my sister's place, I bring my 6 month year old nephew over to the TV to watch a little ball. JUST at the moment Hall cracks the game winner!

A moment later I hear a cry from my little guy, and I say "Well, must be a Met fan!"

Save him while you can. Buy him a Braves hat or something.

No joke, went down the hall, heard there was a double switch and made the wrong assumption. Still lack of hitting with men on and bad play in the field were biggest contributors to this loss.
