Way late, but I guess he was unavailable.

I was figuring Milledge even before LoDuca got on...and was very dismayed -- even after the HR -- that he wasn't used. Unless you know something that us at the game didn't -- unavailable?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I dunno. Everyone's tender. Just speculating.

i went to the game, and not only was it exciting, but i saw prominent competitive eater "crazy-legs" conti in grand central terminal on the way home. it was a good night, a walkoff homer and a fantastic celebrity sighting.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I didn't see any competitive eaters but a great game? Holy crap, yes.

I was so worried I destroyed our Mojo by stepping on Lundy's KTE, but Lundy's KTE only provided the bigger and more dramatic win. wow.

Was he safe at home? Bang-bang play that I forgot all about until I got home, but turned out huge!

I suppose they spotted us a great play too: The catch on Reyes ' first inning drive was fantastic and prolly saved Weaver a 6-run inning, we figured.

All 5 Home runs were majestic, no-doubters. Maine looked awesome the first time thru, and like they stole the signs the next.

Guillermo Mota lit up the boards at 96, 86 on the changes, and the Cardinals didn't have much. And Bradford-- what can you say? He was lighting the gun at 66 and getting 4 of the game's biggest outs.

Really thought it was over when Reyes was retired to lead off the 9th, credit to LoDuca for a big single following him.

They flashed the Green trade news on the scorebaord in like the 6th inning, but it went down so quick I didn't even see it, and spent the rest of the night shouting and wondering from whom. I was relieved to see Milledge's jersey pop out of the dougout in the 9th, but I was later misled by a jagoff in a Cardinals hat waiting for the subway who said, "Victor Diaz and Heath Bell or Royce Ring."

Turns out it was only MacLane, a slowball specialist whom me and marathon watched at Brooklyn a few years back. Fair deal, which I guess means Cliff may not return so quick or something.

I like the Mets.

Very cool Dickshot, had to have been a blast to see two sluggers slug it out then Beltran settle it.....btw Diaz was DFA.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Them walkoff homers is fun.

Especially when they instantly turn a deficit into a win.
