For some reason, the Dodgers haven't been getting the needed hits to win extra inning games. Monday Night was a good example of that. Bases loaded in extra innings with no outs. What happens? Furcal pops out to a too shallow left field. Then O Dog hits a groundball right to some scab fill-in at 1st base. That should of ended the inning. That would of been a double play if Delgado was in the game. Instead, Reed (or whoever) throws the ball to the Dodgers on-deck circle(instead of the catcher.) I think the Mets would of won that if that play had been made. Then, last night, this scab called R Martinez goes 0 for 5, and leaves 4 on base. He got doubled up in a crucial point of the game. Why is that guy playing? We got rid of him. I'm guessing it's an injury. Our pitching in the 7th n' 8th is going to be a big question mark the whole season. So, if you've got that guy up (a Buffalo Minor team player) with men on base in the 7th n 8th, it's a really big problem for the Mets.
