Bleh. K and an intentional BB. Now it's up to some guy. Go Omir!

[Theoldmole]

[Fman99]

Wow. Omir moved em up and it's on Luis. Two down...

I was hoping he was like Cip Ambres. But instead he was Mike Bishop.

Shame on the fans in attendance for giving that shithead Sheffield a curtain
call. Sickening.

[MFS62]

Waitaminit!
The game isn't over. Its 10:48 Eastern time, and Yahoo is still showing it a 4-4 game in the seventh inning.

I was at work, and it was like being in a time warp.

I got into my car in time to hear Sheffield's homer.

Thank you Luis.

On SportsNite, while the highlights were shown, the scroll said it was Brewers 4 Mets 4. They must be watching on Yahoo!

It was a terrific turn at bat. I was out running. Wayne Hagin who I like only sometimes really handled the call well, particularly the build-up. I could see Sheff adjusting his timing right and there was enough edge to Hagin that I felt he might just do it.

Hey, hell. Congrats to Gary. He's been an excellent pickup -- the kind of real bench threat this team hasn't had since... uh... Tony Clark?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tony Clark.

I'm just getting back from the symphony. How does 13 hits and seven walks = only five runs?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bunting!

That and a bad night for Beltran.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, six lobbies is suckaphonic. I'm playing around with a plan to move him to second and Murphy to sixth before he becomes the forgotten man, but it's not playing out.

I was def more jazzed over the fact that it tied the game than I was about any 500th stuff.

Plus I think there was barely a ground-swell for a curtain-call. More like Sheffield (who was obviously enjoying the moment) reacted to the still-buzzing crowd and took one anyway. I'm sure there were some fans who wanted one (hell, they've been conditioned to expect one for almost every HR) but it's not like the crowd was going to grow restless - a la Beltran 4 years ago - if he didn't take one.

Man, I wish we'd had this guy on the team early last year...oh, wait.

[Guest gerrard00]

BTW, I think I made a new Mets fan. 22F friend of mine came over on the way to a party and caught the 9th inning. Lots of happy yelling and jumping around my apartment ensued.

Her: "Is it always like this?"
Me: "Yes. Yes, it is."

[Guest Swan Swan H]

The timing of the homer, pulling the team back from what had all the makings of another score early, try to run out the clock and lose late loss, had something to do with the fans response as well. Any of the other 24 guys would have gotten called back out there, I'd think.

Others said it earlier, but I concur - it's nice to see a guy who can actually hit step out of the dugout when the Mets really need a hit. Enough with the Ice Williams, Ramon Martinez and Chip Ambres.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did somebody just disrespect Chp Ambres?

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I think actually being remembered at this stage is about as much respect as he's gonna get.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wasn't his one hit as a Met a game-winner?
