Another great crowd |
|
The cameraman looked lonely |
|
Albers warming up in left field |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe Albers shouldn't have thrown so much pregame on such a hot day |
|
Bruntlett does the fan interaction thing |
|
Gene Coleman Brad Ausmus and Mark Bailey |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke can do the fan interaction thing, too |
|
Wiggy and Luke pregame |
|
Same guys |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wiggy makes like an ape |
|
Ausmus pregame |
|
Another view |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wallace started playing this bottle flip game |
|
I wanted to catch the bottle in the air |
|
But it took me three shots |
|
|
|
|
Stretch Suba Matt Albers and Dave Wallace |
|
Suba and Wallace |
|
|
|
|
|
Berkman pregame |
|
Albers moved to the pen and threw some more |
|
Yup, Matt Albers |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty good close up of Matt |
|
Albers set |
|
Ausmus and Albers depart the bullpen and head for the dugout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Burke leads off |
|
Hermida throws it in after making the catch in right for the first out |
|
Loretta would single though |
|
|
|
|
|
|
First he took a pitch |
|
Then Berkman singled, too |
|
And Lee doubled |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lee pulls into second |
|
Lee and Cabrera socialized several times during the series |
|
Wigginton drove in Berkman but could have done more damage |
|
|
|
|
Wigginton, closer |
|
Even closer |
|
|
|
|
|
Although he struck out to lead off, Ramirez homered again; he slugged .929 in the series |
|
Bruntlett throws it back in after Linden's single in the second |
|
Carlos. During his 8th inning AB, before he homered, I started screaming "Caballo!" and some other fans joined in. After he hit it out, the Mets fan sitting next to me started chanting "Caballo!" too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lidge warmed up Friday night, but that was the extent of it for him this series |
|
Yes, he was chilling |
|
Borks and Randolph figured they'd see action |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was fucking hot; here Randolph aims to keep himself hydrated |
|
Albers threw too many pitches in the brutal heat |
|
These numbers are through 4 innings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brad and Matt confer |
|
Later there was a powwow |
|
Randolph was warming to start the fifth |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Randolph again |
|
Miller didn't pitch--but he's got this involved stretching regimen |
|
I record it here for posterity's sake |
|
|
|
|
Wonder if he knew he wasn't even gonna pitch? |
|
Qualls stretched some too, but it was nowhere near as involved as with Trever |
