What a great game!

Way to rinse the bad taste of the roadtrip out of the mouth.

Let us not overlook SIXTEEN straight MFYs retired by the bullpen from the 4th through the 9th.

Retired the last 16 in a row.

Against the Yankees.

Didn't even use Duaner Sanchez.

[Guest cooby]

That was wonderful! Thank God the Yankees are kind enough to still broadcast on Channel 9 on Friday night for us non paying "locals" to watch!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Off to Grand Central with my oil paints.

Must capture the looks on the faces of the MFY fans as they get off the 7.

[Frayed Knot]

BEER FOR EVERYONE!

[Guest cooby]

Bullpen summary:
.
The last MFY baserunner was Bernie's infield single (the one Reyes smothered in the hole saving the base loaded) w/2 outs **IN THE 4th**

Even once you throw out the first inning (other than that Mrs. Lincoln how was the play?) the Yanx totalled just 5 singles (two infield) and a double w/10 Ks.


Those (lack of) arms came back to haunt the MFYs. Damon was *REAL* shallow - almost like an OFer would be if there were LESS THAN 2 outs and a ball over your head wins the game even if it's caught. Nice shot by Wright but that had some hangtime to it and is prolly caught 8 times out of 10 under most circumstances.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Hoo-hah!

Great fucking game.

And an IGT that pretty much exactly mirrored my thoughts throughout.

Nice work, people.

Rico Brogna, Good Fit for SNY.

Yallof: "Tell us Rico, from your experiences, how does winning a game like this feel."

Rico: "Um, I played for the mid-90's Mets. We never won any games so I wouldn't know."

I paraphrase.

My boy pissed his new Met jammies tonight.

Tuned in during the 6th inning so I got to see this pitching duel as Gary & Ron were talking about the messy slugfest that preceded it. Beautiful ending. My first son is to be named David Wright Ortiz Point.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Just caught the last three innings on DVD--a slugfest turned into a relievers' duel, botjh games exciting and amazin'.

You got to be happy for David Wright there. What a wonderful young player he is, focussed, smart, supremely skilled, and --if such a thing exists---clutch as hell. Don't understand why WWSB didn't pinch-run for LoDuca there--you were facing extra innings, you've got a day game tomorrow, and on some hits to the OF ( a two out single to Bernie's glove side, for example) Endy scores and LoDuca doesn't. But Wright's hit makes such quibbles moot. Fantastic player, thrilling game. Couldn't script a better one.
