Sweet top of the ninth (Dodgers - Mets 5:2)

I just finished stat watching at mlb.com (my mlb.tv season package will get activated later on in March).

What a great game it must have been: no score through five and a half, than very close (2-1 Mets) until the top of the ninth when the Dodgers exploded for four unanswered runs.

Larry Bigbie has certainly been making a case for himself this spring so far: two more RBI (seven in three games) with no strike-outs. My favourite young Dodger, Andy LaRoche was not far behind him as he went 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored! As sound defensively as he is touted to be I was surprised he has not shaken off pre-season rust yet with two fielding errors (which did not lead to runs scored).

Very solid outing from our pitching, despite the number of walks they issued (8 in the game), they managed to get most (all?) of them back by stranding 12 Met runners on base. Mets were sporting their above average lineup with Reyes, Delgado, Green, LoDuca, Beltran and Wright.

The Dodgers are 2-1 on the pre-season and Andy LaRoche is batting .429. Life could not be sweeter in cloudy and rainy Poland :).
