The Mets might have a chance in this game since the Brewers have elected to go with two pitchers rather than use a shortstop. Of course, Jerry will likely make a tactical decision so profoundly stupid and senseless it will make the Brewers playing without a shortstop look brilliant by comparison.*

*I realize that Escobar is actually the shortsop batting in the 9 spot after the pitcher, Wolf. It wopuld appear that Macha has been around La Genius too much.

The Mets load the bases to open the game on a Reyes double and walks to Castillo and Bay. The Mets score one on a sacrifice fly from Wright.

Weeks hits a home run to lead off the bottom.

I'm concerned about the days when the knuckleball isn't knuckling.

Well, except that one.

[Guest themetfairy]

I once saw Wolf homer twice in a game when he was with Philly. So it's not as ridiculous a notion batting him 8th as it might otherwise seem.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Everyone must be enjoying the nice holiday weather.

Nutshell so far:

Dickey: Good
Luis: two-run single, good.
Pagan: Two-run homer, good!
Jeff Suppan: Bad for Brewers, which is good for us!
Ricky Weeks: Good for Brewers, which is bad for us.

I am surprised that my confidence can be so easily shaken by the removal of R.A. Dickey.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Zut alors-- the game's 4th Frenching! Et avec insurance runs!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And Jose tacks on another.

If I were Ian O'Connor and I could get in Santana's head, I'd be thinking, "Would have been nice to have had some of this run support..."

[G-Fafif]

10-4 good buddies.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Braddock, IIRC something Howie said earlier, had warmed up 4 separate times before coming into the game. Now, he's just recorded his first out, 7 batters into the inning... an inning in which Gary Matthews, Jr. batted.

Watching these two guys manage this series has been like watching brain-damaged orangs play human chess.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Frankie in to finish things out.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Frankie got two after an endless at-bbat by Jon Lucroy.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Three! In the books!

[Guest themetfairy]

Not the kind of a laugher that the final score would indicate. But yes, a win!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Stultifying and satisfying, all at once, innit?

[ashie62]

Got to watch this one outdoors with grilled goodness. Nice to see a laugher

[Fman99]

We listened on XM for about 2/3 of the game, driving from Corning back to home. Glad to hear them playing well and Frenchy knocking the ball around.

[DocTee]

has there ever been an IGT as short as this?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Was checking score by phone at another kids b-day party (they're the new weddings, doncha know). Proud that they pulled it out and pulled away, Dickey is my man.
