Aaron is the Man

Who was saying that he had no confidence in Heilman? I have no idea what you're talking about. Those were two huge K's he got after he should have had an out on a soft fly to left that Pagan misplayed into a single (and almost something far worse).

That was decent job by Perez, but he really needs to go more than 5 2/3 innings there. Willie ended up using a lot of pitchers, but I don't have any complaint with any of the moves he made. I was afraid he might overuse Sanchez too quickly, but he Sanchez only went 1/3 of an inning after getting a big out to bail out Perez.

Why can't the Mets hit Jamie Moyer? If nobody was getting to him that would be one thing, but I've seen him on occasions look like batting practice, but the Mets never get to him. I was sure the Mets were going to put up a big number in the 1st inning, but the offense just petered out.

How does Fox not yet realize that Tim McCarver is about 15 years past his sell-by date?

And, thanks to a bizarre decision by NASN (our American sports channel in Europe) I didn't get to see the 9th inning. Had to get the PC going fast to listen to Howie & Wayne for the end of the game. NASN decided to switch to the Montreal vs Boston playoff game rather than wait for the end of the Mets game.
