Art Howe made a gutsy call last night. With 2 outs in the sixth he intentionally walked eighth place hitter Yorvit Torrealba to get to pitcher Brett Tomko betting that Giants manager Felipe Alou would not use Barry Bonds as a pinch hitter. The gamble paid off. Alou said after the game that he was not going to use Bonds "at all" last night. It was nice to see Howe taking a chance and even nicer to see it paid off.
I caught an interview with Jason Phillips after the game. I wish they would put a counter on the screen to see how many times he says "you know" and "you know what I mean" when answering questions.
Grant Roberts was designated for assignment yesterday to make way for Ricky Botallico. Roberts is out of options and must pass through waivers before the Mets can send him to Norfolk. They can also trade him. Either ways I believe his days in a Mets uniform are over. I think it'll work out for him and some time in the not too distant future we'll see him on the mound at Shea mowing down Mets hitters while wearing the visitors uniform. Another good arm that got away. Good luck, Grant.
