As Eric Gagne trotted in from the Brewers bullpen, I tried not to get too excited. On the one hand, at this point in his major league career I'm pretty sure Gagne could not get me out. On the other hand, I still have memories of an early April series between these two teams that saw Gagne earn two of his 10 saves this season. Things were different back then, right? There's no way Gagne could actually miss the bats of three consecutive hitters, could he? Daniel Murphy read the scouting reports, closed his eyes and laced a double to left-center field. David Wright outthought himself, tried to follow the path of the ball with his eyes and struck out. Carlos Delgado tried the same approach for two pitches before visibly saying to himself, "Fuck it, I'm going to close my eyes and swing." I mean, he presumably said it in Spanish, and I didn't actually see his lips move, but on the next pitch he crushed a go-ahead home run into the rightfield seats. The Mets would tack on another run and hold on for yet another come-from-behind victory.
In other news, hey Ed Rapuano...GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY! Now Beltran has a bruised knee that will probably be bothering him for the next few weeks of critical games. Thanks a lot. Dick.
