…you know, it was nice to finally see this team flip the script and actually win one of these late-game nail-biters, as opposed to be blowing them as has been the case most of the time this season…
…that said, thank you Conor Jackson, who made a throwing error in the ninth inning, which allowed Carlos Beltran to score the go-ahead run…Marlon Anderson then stepped on to extend the lead with an RBI single…
…outstanding throw from Ryan Church, to peg Chris Burke at third base…church is just so good, on all sides of the ball…
…David Wright hit a solo home run, but could have had another earlier in the game as the ball died right at the base of the wall in dead-center…Carlos Delgado also hot a bomb that died on the wall, as well…
…again, Billy Wagner looked totally dominant and cool on the mound…he’s totally in control…
…Micah Owings had a pinch-hit single in the ninth…he’s amazing…i mean, they should just start him in the outfield every now and then, on days when he isn’t pitching…i mean, if the guy can let, let him hit…
…Johan Santana and Dan Haren put on a nice show through the first six innings…it must be weird for these American Leaguers to come to the National League and be forced to leave earlier than expected, because they get pinch hit for, which is something they never had to experience before…haren did not look happy, and even looked confused…
The Mets will face the Dodgers tomorrow in Los Angeles.
