Dropping 4 out of 8 to the Pirates and Marlins on the heels of the disaster against the AL East will certaintly start the drum banging for Willis AND Zito becoming Mets. Hell callers might be dumb enough to bring the Reyes for Soriano proposition back to life!

I'll call the FAN after the game.

Da da da da dum...

Say your prayers little one
Dont forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they arent of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, dont say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Its just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Were off to never never land

Survived a somewhat sloppy game going into the break

- what'd we give them - 4 infield hits? Not that they were all errors but better plays turn at least some of those into outs; and Valentin's non-play resulted directly in 2 runs. Not an easy play but I was screaming 'Look to Home' several seconds before he finally did.

- the baserunning plays were mentioned.
No reason for LoDuca NOT to be about 2 steps behind Valentin there. If it's caught then he's out and there's no danger of anyone passing another on the bases, and if it's dropped (it was) he strolls into 2nd. Then his pinch-runner brain-locks too - you freeze (or even break back) on liners not immediately head to the next base. Wright's HR bailed both their asses out.

- also the fumble by Nady (who otherwise had a good day) and a real bad relay from Valentin on the same play

- turns out we needed every run too as Wags coughed up a 9th inning HR (tough weekend for closers)


In all, we got a bit lucky ... but I'll take it.
