Quote: Milledge Couldn’t Brake

In the first inning, Lastings Milledge motored from first on a double by David Wright.

Mets third-base coach Sandy Alomar initially waved Milledge in, but then put up the ‘stop sign’with Milledge just a few steps from third.  Milledge rounded third, tried to stop, but was running too hard and was tagged out mid-way up the base line.

Milledge, as quoted by the New York Post

“I saw him wave and then I saw him stop me at the last minute.  I couldn’t brake.  I was running too hard to stop. I saw the stop sign at the last minute. It was a miscommunication.  I was rounding third, he stopped me at the last minute.  I couldn’t brake and get back.”
