I blame Milledge for not making a better case for himself to be on the roster and covering for Green in the ninth.

[Valadius]

Wagner pitched a nice sequence to Nomah ... but I'm not sold that he'll
take us to the promise land.

It's not how you get there I guess, a W is a W.

[Zvon]

Every closer is going to lose playoff games. I'll take Wagner over most of the guys out there.

[metirish]

Good post-game stuff on SNY....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mr. Met is sitting on top of my computer, partying like it's 1999.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I couldn't get to a computer for the exciting parts of the game (see: most), but god damn that was a blast.

A nervous blast, but a blast nonetheless.

Payton hit a three-run homer off of Mariano Freakin Rivera in the ninth inning of Game Three in 2000.

The trick is to build enough of a pad to ask as little of your closer as possible.

They gave him a two-run pad, and he pitched within it. Game.

Gary and Ron trying to do the post-game from Shea to chants of "Yankees suck" from the fans gathered behind them.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Turn in your tickets, punks.

[metirish]

How does Mota get the win after giving up the runs to tie the game?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Because the process by which wins are awarded to pitchers is archaic and highly flawed.

Teams win and teams lose.
