Hell, one game down. When I saw that Nomar was up with a chance to tie it or take the lead, I ran to my car to catch Vin's call, only to be disappointed.
The good news is, they hung in there. Take out one bizarre baserunning error (I gotta see the replays and see if the 3rd base coach sent Kent in. Is it still Hoffman?) and you've got a whole different ballgame. Plus, the Dodgers didn't need to go as deep into their bullpen as the Mets, that bodes well for the series going forward.
They just need to cut out a few of those K's (13 strikeouts, ouch!), keep wearing their pitchers down, and keep manufacturing runs. A frustrating loss, but there are worse ways to lose, especially game 1 on the road.
