shawn green to the mets' rescue

hurrah! shawn green to the rescue (3 singles in last night's 4-3 victory over the atlanta braves)!

from this morning's new york times:

The Mets had taken a lead and blown it by the time Shawn Green stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning last night at Shea Stadium. But with one smooth swing, Green had the momentum pinballing back to the Mets. And this time it stuck.

Green’s run-scoring single gave the Mets a 4-3 victory and put them in an even better position to seize consecutive National League East titles for the first time.


ever more my (freethinking) hero, shawn had this to say:
After the game, Green, who is Jewish, said the victory was not extra special because it came on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. “It’s not even a factor,” he said.

and, lastings milledge had a brief, productive appearance in last night's game:

The Mets took a 3-1 lead in the seventh when Lastings Milledge, pinch-hitting for Maine, tripled and scored on a single by Reyes.
