(First of all, the home computer virus is gone, and due to a lack of sleep the previous night, I fell asleep during the rain delay last night. But it was a good feeling waking up on the couch at 2am to see Mets 8, Giants 2!)
Are you back on the bandwagon yet? Three in a row!! And it's not just that they're winning consecutive games, it's the way the Mets are winning them. I read up on last night's eighth inning - all with two outs!! And clutch homers. Spencer and Cameron. Matsui again putting some icing on the cake.
And Mike Piazza finally putting that damn record behind him. Now he'll be pressure-free. I smell four in a row...
A couple of thoughts about the early part of the game. Man, San Francisco is an ugly team. For a team that was so good the past few years, they continue to make horrible plays. Second inning - the pitcher, Williams, throws away the Jae Seo bunt (which was an outstanding bunt, by the way), and allows the Mets to score a run. Just bad defense, like Tuesday night.
And on the other side of the coin, Kaz Matsui made his best play as a Met on defense last night. In the third inning, he went to his right, backhanded a grounder, then immediately threw to first to get the out. It took a great stretch and scoop by Jason Phillips on the other end, but that was a great play, showing the most range Matsui has shown yet in a Mets uniform.
OK, I have to run some wedding errands. Al Leiter goes tonight. This is getting good.
