extra innings are our friends

Game 22: Mets 6, Nationals 2 (12 innings)
14-8 for the season

this one started out being all about the first base umpire, which is never a good thing.

sometimes I wonder, in a game like this-- if you're Willie Randolph, are you just happy with the team for pulling it out in the face of the clearly bullshit calls (all you had to do was watch Willie's lips to see that-- again, no real facility with lipreading necessary), or are you annoyed with them for having crap at-bats and letting it go to the 9th and then the 12th without hitting?

More to come.
