Fun game to watch last night. The results could have been better (if only the Dodgers could hit with the bases loaded).
Anyway, so far, in watching tonight's game, I'm beginning to become fed up with Juan Pierre again. Nevermind the guy is one of the least productive hitters on the team, but this guy has no business playing center field. Marlon Anderson hit a short fly ball to left center field with one out in the first. Both Pierre and Luis Gonzalez converge on the fly ball, both calling for it. As the center fielder, it is your job to "patrol" the outfield. After both calling for the ball, Gonzo cut in front of Pierre and ducked out of his way. Pierre slowed down and cut behind Gonzo and watch the ball drop between them for a double. There's really no excuse for it. What makes it even worse is the next hitter got a hit to score the run.
Dodgers now have first and third with two outs in the bottom of the first and Gonzo up... who just struck out looking to end the inning. End of 1, Mets 1, Dodgers 0.
