IGT 8/12/06 - The Mets vs. The Nationals, Take 2

[metirish]

Dr. Z is annoying...Heilman is not.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Way 2B.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Whatever Kerri said was effective - Heilman gets out of the 8th unscathed.

[metirish]

Wagner....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Five tools coming to the plate.

[metirish]

I love the Mets...win # 70 I think.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wagner gets the job done, and the Mets win!

[Guest Edgy DC]

An' zat's it.

Wagner, according to the Nats radio crew, hit 100.

NY Times wrote: Johnson came up with two outs in the fourth and drove a 3-2 fastball into the loge level at R.F.K. Stadium, ending the longest scoreless streak by a Mets rookie starter and marking the team�s longest since Al Leiter�s in 1998. Maine turned and watched Johnson�s home run sail out, but he did not seem perturbed that three weeks� worth of hard work had vanished so abruptly.

Absolutely atrocious wording. In no way did the three weeks' work vanish.

While I understand the flaws in radar guns, I am pleased to have Billy Wagner as the Met closer going into the 2006 playoffs.
