Last year's Mets game in the 9th?

let’s hope it’s not that! He’s been so good this year.

Defense

This is mostly due to bad D in the outfield.

by okiecubbie on Apr 20, 2008 2:54 PM CDT   0 recs

Outfielders don't walk in runs.

I see your point, but Demp has been brutal, that is until D-Lee told him to throw strikes!

Probably told him

it was the 9th inning of the World Series and a nuclear bomb would destroy the earth if he didnt get this guy out.

Or he bet him $50 he couldnt do it.

he would buy him a case of old style if he struck him out….
