Who Possibly CAN'T Like Video Review?

If I've said it once, I'll say it 1000 times: Nothing is better for sports than video review. If I had my way, EVERY controversial call in all sports would be subject to review. We have the technology, let's use it - it only makes the game better!

So once again, the Mets came up on the winning side of another reviewed play. This time, it was Gary Sheffield's 3 run homerun (maybe) at the center of the controversy. Sheffield's 6th-inning drive to leftfield was originally called a homerun, but the play went to review because some idiot fan touched the ball on the ball's descent. (hopefully the fan - who had a glove - doesn't play little league... a coordinated fan makes that catch!).

Six minutes later, crew chief Larry Vanover signaled an official home run, and the injury-plagued New York Mets went on to beat the Nats 5-2, making a winner out of John Maine who pitched pretty well for his fourth victory.

Sheffield, Luis Castillo, and Carlos Beltran each had 2 hits in the game with KRod putting the hammer down for the non-quality save (we don't like giving out saves with 3 run leads). Also, since going seven straight games without a homerun, the Mets have now homered in four straight. That's pretty good for teams NOT playing in Yankee Stadium, which is now officially a joke as more and more major news and media outlets are picking up on the ridiculous ease balls are leaving that stadium.

And according to the team notes, the last rubble of Shea Stadium was removed during the 10-game trip, giving the Mets a full parking lot surrounding Citi Field. Also known as the Grand Central parkway...
