Amazing, Milton left gopherballs hanging out in front of Piazza, Wright and Woodward... and one of them (the least likely) finally converts. Be thankful for the wind and Piazza's baserunning gaffe, or it would be worse.

You wonder if as soon as Woodward saw his name on the lineup card against Milton if it dawned on him that he'd get his first homer of the season today?
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
That is the 15th home run Milton has allowed this year.
It was Floyd with the broken bat single, and you are right that Griff did a nice job of selling the deke to Piazza.
The amazing part is how bad judy hitters are as likely to take Milton deep as anyone.
I'm sure there were some POed Mets when they found out they weren't starting today. Has Glavine HRed this year? I wouldn't bet against him going deep. Hell, Randolph probably wants to grab a bat too.
FYI here are Jimenez's lifetime numbers vs a LH
.261/.333/.322/.654 and Kearns .268/.405/.378/.783
Milton is on 41 pitches after 2... 27% of them against the opposing teams pitcher.
And people say the numbers don't say alot.
As you implied moments earlier, it was a matter of time. Frankly, the exact same pitch was served up on a platter to Piazza and Wright, who both missed putting the swing on it. Woodward just happened to be the first guy to put the wood on it just right. You know Woodward had to be happy to see his name on the lineup card... let's hope Felipe takes Glavine yard today, to once again emphasize his supermacy in the battle of the once heir apparents to the Blue Jays SS position.
2-0 Mets, after Glavine's fly out to Dunn is caught up in the swirling wind... headed to the 3rd inning.
