Mets 6 Brewers 5, 11 innings
Sunday Afternoon
Shea Stadium
With Sujan and Dave N.
The Mets weren’t playing so well and they were about to get swept by the Brewers led by the hot-hitting Lyle Overbay. And when they gave up 3 runs in the top of the 8th to go down 5-3, it seemed like they were headed to an ignominious sweep. But Ty Wigginton’s 2 run pinch hit single tied it (pinchrunner Jae Seo’s brilliantly eluded the tag at the plate to tie it) and the slumping Kaz Matsui’s game winning pinch hit single in the bottom of the 11th won it. He was mobbed like he was Robin Ventura or Todd Pratt or some shit like that.
Conversation highlight- Could we possibly list all of the teams in order that David Segui has played for? The answer-almost.
Heckling highlight- The woman behind us kept calling David Weathers, Shrek Weathers. Yeah, it was a mellow day.
You be the judge. If you're confused, Shrek is the top photo and Weathers is the bottom one.

Posted by: jamie at November 4, 2004 03:12 PMI'd like to lodge a complaint about this year's format - In order to read the games in chronological order I have to scroll down to the bottem of the page, then scroll up (past the story I just read) to read the next and so on....I know you are adding games all the time, but how about appending them to the end of each month so I can read them in order? Just my .02. Otherwise, very entertaining as usual...
Posted by: Rob stein at November 10, 2004 11:28 AMrob, good point. but the point is to check back everyday! if i organized it the other way, the people who checked everyday would have to scroll to the end everytime. at the end, i'm going to change it so it runs from april-october.
