We're going to end up getting 7+ tonight from a guy that looked like he wouldn't make it out of the first inning
I cannot imagine why Gary and Ron think we care even slightly about a long ball Bonds hit in batting practice. I will be very happy when he is gone - with any luck, we'll never see him in Shea Stadium ever again.
Pretty shocked to see El Duque coming out of the game here. He's obviously on a big time roll and he's still under 100 pitches.
I hope he asked out because of fatigue (not injury, of course) - if Willie pulled him just because it's the 8th inning I would not be happy.
Looks like Benitez is going back to Florida, where he had the best season of his career. (And completely owned our asses in '04: 13.1 IP, 0.68 ERA, 12 K/0 BB, 11 saves)
Fitting that Aurillia would be the last out. He sucked badly tonight. And the Mets win the series. Time to derail the DBacks.
