ANYONE WHO WATCHED LAST NIGHT'S DEBACLE SHOULD REALIZE THAT IT WAS NOT ONLY
RANDOLPH, CASTRO, HEILLMAN, LOOPER, CAIRO, FLOYD, AND OFFERMAN WHO MADE ERRORS.
METS ANNOUNCER GARY COHEN, THE OFFICIAL SCORER, RICHARD NEER, THE STAR LEDGER,
AND OTHERS ALSO MADE ERRORS BY CALLING DUBACH'S DRIVE OF THE WALL A DOUBLE. WITH
2 RUNNERS ON, ONE CAN'T BE CREDITED WITH A DOUBLE IF NOBODY SCORES. IT MUST BE
SCORED AS A SINGLE, WITH THE BATTER ADVANCING TO SECOND ON THE THROW HOME.

lucky for me, i only got to watch this on my replay tv after i had known the
results, since i was not home. i have found the following method to be the least
aggravating way of watching the mets: record the game on replay tv. every 10
minutes or so, watch the game in fast forward. if anything good happens, review
it at regular speed. this sure saves me a lot of grief.

BTW: HOW ABOUT THAT BELTRAN :-(
