Mets Bucs 6/1

Blogging every inning is decidedly silly. So, I'll only comment on stuff that deserves to be mentioned. I will be the arbiter of what deserves to be mentioned. Like McCutheon's catch in the first. Tejada's stop and backhand toss to second followed immediately by Paulino's nailing the attempted theft of second in the fourth.

Bottom 4th: You've got to send Beltran on Paulino's grounder to second. Even if he comes up with the ball he's oriented towards the outfield. Just because we scored anyway does not vindicate the decision to hold him.

Great reaction by Capuano on the comebacker.

What a nightmare of a 7th inning the first 4 balls didn't get out of the infield.

I knew a guy who had a tape of Bette Midler doing a cabaret show, and one song (bit?) was called "Why bother?" I wonder if the author was inspired by the Mets.
