All that matters was the result :)

[weatherdood]

Fatty walks, bases juiced for the Crew

Maybe starting a rookie left hander against the Brewers in a playoff race wasn't a good idea.

[hotshot13422]

hahahaha, corey hart

[Rob]

Brewers tie the game.

[weatherdood]

Corey Hart ties it with a single

[Andy]

Good play by the Mets to get Hardy at the plate and keep it tied.

[BigSlick]

Ah, yes. THe typical "Well i hit a homer so every at bat from here on out will be terrible" situation from Fonzie

[E.J.]

Aren't the Mets in a pretty tight playoff race? Why did they throw a rookie out there tonight for the start?

I didnt think it was a swing, but maybe Im in the minority.

Found this insight on the New York Times.... mainly having to do with Maine being on the DL

everyone else is hurt or bad. and going to 4 pitchers is a bad idea when one of them is pedro.

I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a better option than a left handed rookie with a 1.30 WHIP at AA against a team that mashes LHP

Zambrano is still not right
