"Watched" the game on Lameday while listening on WFAN and keeping score on one of my fancy, new, double-sided, Miss Blue Sky's Scorecard! scorecards, and enjoying a lovely tray of wine and fancy snacks. Wowee, what a GREAT game! It :sigh: sounded like El Duque really looked great, with 7 solid innings and 7 strikeouts, and the offense sure tried real hard, with Shawn Green going 4 for 4, but that Smoltz is one tough character and that was one close game, all the way to the last out. :suspense!: Castillo got his first two RBI as a Met (yay!), and that was one timely homer for Moises Alou (phew!), although I wouldn't mind if Billy Wagner could stop adding all of the extra suspense there in the 9th (tho truth-told, the Hated Braves have brilliant offense, and I think it :sigh: sounded like he did a great job, as usual, and than to get that game-ending double-play, man, I almost fell over with relief! Woohoo, hoooray, let's go Mets!! :waves Giant Foam Finger around with glee:
The score-keeping is going really well, I think, and is making the games even more fun, in spite of all of the extra work involved. And now I can add Game Scoring Dork to my list of achievements, good stuff!
And now it's John Main against Tim Hudson and the Hated Braves in a day game to end the series, so I can watch it on Lameday at work with no WFAN. Hrmph. Well, I'll just have to be there in spirit, I guess. Go get 'em, team!!
