Re: ****Official 2007 NY Mets NL East Champs Thread****
That home plate ump was quite bad. You guys covered most of the ones against the Mets, but El Duque got a called strike on somebody - maybe Juan "runnin the bases" Pierre - that was at his forehead.
Also, what about the double play that Shawn Green hit into? I was sitting about 20ft from the play and it looked like he beat the throw, but it was really close. They didn't show the replay on the scoreboard, which was somewhat suspicious, as they will generally replay every pro-dodgers play regardless of how uninteresting or routine. That they failed in this one instance makes me think it would have shown Green beat the throw. Any help from the TV audience on that one?
Speaking of Greenie, I'm assuming that you guys were with me in spirit cheering for Wags to strikeout the side. I really felt like any groundball was going to be a disaster for the Mets with him at first.
Anyway, I'm bummed that Beltran didn't make it 4 for 4, but the game was definitely an awesome series finale.
