The Mets lost a heartbreaker last night after leading 5-2 entering the 9th inning. Mets closer Billy Wager was unavaliable to pitch last night due to shoulder tightness. If Billy was avaliable to pitch, maybe I would be writting about a Mets win and not a loss.
Johan Santana pitched 8 innings of 2 runs. Johan allowed 8 hits, did not walk anyone and struck out 4.
Endy Chavez was was thrown out twice at the plate. The first was after Chavez could have had a tripple easily and stopped at second. Chavez later tried ot score from second and was thrown out. He was thorwn out once again by a mile later in the game.
Carlos Delgado hit a 2-run bomb off Joe Blanton to give the Mets a 3-1 lead.
Ramon Castro supplied another 2-run home run also off Joe Blanton to give the Mets a 5-1 lead.
Since closer Billy Wagner was unavaliable, Jerry Manuel brought in Duaner Sanchez to pin the Phils down in the 9th. Well, Duaner allowed 3 hits to load the bases and Joe Smith was put in. Joe allowed a run to score and than Pedro Feliciano surrendered the big 2-run double to So Taguchi. Jimmy Rollins than doubled home 2 runs.
The Mets scored 1 in the 9th off Brad Lidge but failed to score any more.
"After seeing that, you can't help feeling that you want ot be out there. A lot of different things could might have happened if I was out there. I'd rather be the guy standing here taking the blame instead of lettign my teammatessuck on this one." - Billy Wagner
