I'm pretty sure that's a dozen audible sighs for Keith now.

[Gwreck]

Fuck

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Revolting.

[Zvon]

Can't believe we let this one get away.

WOW, went to bed thinking this was was in the books....damn

[Benjamin Grimm]

Me too.

[Frayed Knot]

Not me. As that game got into the eighth I had the suddenly depressing thought that we still needed to get six more outs and I simply saw too many ways for that NOT to happen.
Not that I foresaw two infield errors sandwiched around a cheesy single and inexplicably allowed uncontested stolen base as the culprit, but by no means did I consider this one to be in the bag.

[metirish]

Hoe bad is the bullpen?

[Frayed Knot]

Obviously not good, but there were so many plays last night that should have been made but weren't. The four Rox' runs that tied up the game were totally preventable; I mean just because Baxter took Duda's place in LF didn't mean he had to take a Duda route to Torrealba's double, and the two runs in the Colorado 8th came after two were out and nobody on and a little squib went off Lyon's glove. He snags that and we don't even get to Tejada's dagger.

Obviously the weather had a lot to do with it. Every routine grounder seemed like an adventure and it's not like the Rockies fielders (esp the catcher) didn't hand the Mets several of their runs. What made the whole thing a kick in the gut is that we got all our gifts early but then handed them back late.

Game temperature in F was less than C here, but more importantly than that how cool is the driver display in my car?
