What do we chalk Hill's abnormally low run support to? Coincidence, anomaly -? Players get bored watching him pitch so they can't hit? It's really much lower than anyone else.
Lou gets a kick out of lying to the fans. He wants 8 midgets that walk all the time. FALSE Murton is the team's starting LF. FALSE Wood will pitch today. FALSE Lou is a liar and a bad manager. Dud he's not a liar and a bad manager. I've been known for some feats of hyperbole but that one takes the cake.
Which is foolish. Kerry Wood is a much better pitcher than anyone we have in our pen. If you don't trust him, he doesn't need to be in Chicago. Wood's stuff still makes a guy like Howry look like a bush-leaguer. Between him & Marmol, there's nothing else in that bullpen on the same planet.
Yeah I don't get it. That 8th inning would have been the perfect spot for Wood, IMO. You're not going to get much of a "softer landing" than a 4-run lead with 2 out & 1 on.
Apparently he didn't listen to me. Yeah, I don't understand it. Hasn't Marmol's arm been abused enough? 4 run lead, 2 outs in the 8th. Perfect time for Wood, isn't it? WTF they better pitch Wood today. Nope. Now Howry is up. No Wood.

From 2nd? No way. He was pretty far up the line when Sele caught it since Wright was nowhere near the base. I can't really blame Jacque for not taking the chance considering we're up 4 and Soriano is on deck, but he would've made it. I dunno, I mean the pitcher looked him back and Reyes can easily make a throw home from 2nd. He was moving back towards 3rd... Maybe he would have made it.
Wow we really could have used even 1 run there. I know it's only been Alou and nothing else, but I dunno I think these Mets are capable of the comeback.
