Note: Duaner was Unavailable Last Night
The Mets were up 7 to 5 in the eighth inning last night against the Cardinals, when Jerry Manuel chose to bring in Pedro Feliciano after Aaron Heilman hit the inning’s lead-off hitter.
Feliciano then let up a pinch-hit home run to Chris Duncan, which tied up the game.
In the ninth, Manuel replaced Feliciano with Carlos Muniz, who, after getting Albert Pujols and 
Rick Ankiel to pop out, let up a game-winning, two-out, walk-off home run to Troy Glaus.
Following the game, Manuel told reporters that Duaner Sanchez was not available to pitch.
…personally, knowing duaner could not pitch, i would have left feliciano in the game…that said, muniz did get pujols and ankiel out, who were technically the bigger threats in that inning, even though glaus had already hit a home run earlier in the night…also, muniz threw him a nice inside fastball, which glaus turned on…he didn’t leave it hanging over the plate…so, i have to give credit to glaus, who clobbered that pitch on the inside part of his bat…
…at any rate, from what i understand, duaner feels fine and could have pitched, but the team wanted to give him a night off to further recover from being hit with a ground ball on his knee the night before…he’ll be armed and ready tonight, though…
