Game 19: Mets. vs. Rockies @ Shea Stadium

El Duque takes the hill tonight looking for his third win.

The Good: El Duque looked great tonight, matching zeroes with Aaron Cook through seven innings. The game would stay scoreless until the 10th inning when Billy Wagner allowed a Troy Tulowitzki triple that scored Willy Taveras. However, down to their last strike, Damion Easley kept the Mets alive with a magical home run to center field. The game would remain tied until the twelfth inning - After Shawn Green was balked to third base, Dave Newhan would strike out swinging for the second out of the inning. Jose Reyes was then intentionally walked and took second on fielder's indifference. Endy Chavez would step to the plate with the game-winning run 90 feet away. Personally, I have never seen a game end in such unique, dramatic fashion. Catching everyone by surprise, Endy Chavez laid down a bunt down the first base line and beat Ryan Speier's flip to the bag. Drag-off bunt. Ballgame over - The legend of Endy grows.

The Bad: Billy Wagner seems to fold under non-pressure situations.

Overall: Most exciting game of the season thus far.

Notes: They always say you'll see something you've never seen when you watch a baseball game and tonight was a perfect example of that. Joe Smith would win his first game as a big leaguer. Late in the game, a jumping catch at the fence by Steve Finley brought back memories of Todd Pratt's walkoff home run in the '99 NLDS.

Final Score: Mets 2, Rockies 1. Record: 13-6.
