Wagner Houdini

I have to admit that I got 'that sinking feeling' in the top of the ninth last night. And that game was a roller coaster.
Mets get a lead. Braves take the lead on a crazy two out rally. Mets tie the game on a broken bat single. Mets take the lead on a solo homer with two strikes on Moises Alou. Already enough drama and excitement.
When Billy came out and let the first two guys on I thought, "Uh oh." Then the walk. So the Braves have the bases loaded with no one out.
At this point I was thinking, "Why now to blow a save?"
Then a ground ball to David Wright. Nice play setting himself and throwing to the plate. LoDuca takes the safe route and doesn't throw to first.
Then Andruw Jones hits a hard shot to Castillo at second. I believe it was the definition of 'tailor made' when speaking of a double play.
So Billy got it done after all. I'll be watching the game today with hopes that we can't put the Braves just a little bit farther away from first place in the National League East.
