Poorly called for, and poorly executed, bunts in this game helped put us in this situation.

Disagree on Valentin's failure to bunt. Both Delgado and Wright scored anyway.

I agree it was a bad idea to bunt there, but it ultimately had no effect.

-----------

Agree 100% on Lo Duca's bunt pop-out.

[Guest GYC]

David Wright is my God.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

[Zvon]

WRIGHT TIES IT!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I said it before and I'll say it again -

[Elster88]

Curtain call for David. If I believed in clutch, he would be Mr. Clutch.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

="Zvon"]WRIGHT TIES IT!

Excellent. His pee-fest in the top of the inning made me miss Duaner's misbehavior.

LMAO.

[Elster88]

Someone got tossed in the Giant dugout. I love reading lips on TV. The home plate umpire said "Yeah you."

And Milledge said "That's what I'm talking about" after his double.

[Elster88]

As Matsui's biggest supporter, I have to say that Valentin desrves to start at second.

[Zvon]

Valentine riiiiiiiiips a double to left.
If Bonds was out there it wouldna been a triple.

i guess you cant yell anything from the dugout anymore.
Blue tosses a SF coach for hurting his feelings with afew choice words.

[Elster88]

This must have been a great day to be at Shea. Nice weather, huge hits by Milledge and Wright, two homers by right, a close game, and a Giant got tossed. Just gotta finish it off.

___________

Apologies to JD, but I agree with the bunt here.

[Elster88]

WOW

No one covering third and the left fielder sneaks in behind Valentin at third. Almost got him.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That was a good bunt, and the Giants smart play eludes the cameramen & director.

I hate Steve Kline btw, so I hope we can get this one in.

[Elster88]

It's Milledge time.

Z---- we need a bottle of Miller with Milledge photoshopped in the label. Maybe one of the High Life ones.

that woulda been horrible.

throw beat him but he gets back in.

Be BIG Millidge!

[Elster88]

Infield in, Lastings grounds out to short. Runner can't score.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Well, we can still live to regret giving away an out there

[Guest Edgy DC]

Valentin should've tried.

[Zvon]

I will but he will have to work for it. Lastings grounds out to a drawn in infield.

he did have the SS's back to him on the play.

If he had a decent lead he probly should have.

[Gwreck]

Crap, Old Man River strikes out.

Oh well, guess we'll just have to have another walk-off win. SC = not very high!

[Zvon]

Senior Franco cant get it done.

Tie game.

Lets hold em and wack em in the 9th.
I dont think I can go thru ANOTHER extra inning game.

He may have earned it with that catch. Thats worth a brewskie.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milledge should have caught that ball on the run and then swan-dived into the stands. People love that.

[Elster88]

I think I know why they didn't drive in Valentin from third in the eighth.

The Mets prefer to win walkoff-style.

[Zvon]

Lmao.
Oh, the drama of it all.

He'll have to wait for one with his face-i wanna watch the game.

[MFS62]

Why is the closer in there in a tie game?
If he was going to go with formula pitching in the eighth, why throw out the "book" in the ninth?

In a tie-game in the top of the ninth or later at home, you bring the closer in because you win it in the bottom of that inning.
