July 22, 200422 yr He was AMAZING today, coming into the game with the bases loaded inheriting a 3-1 count with 1 out from Billy "I can't throw a strike" Koch and then striking out Jason Michaels, then he was solid for the 9th except for OMG's careless drop. He deserved 2 saves for his performance today and this was his biggest save of the year, he's a big game player and I can't wait to see closing out games in the post-season. Did he have any bigger saves in his career as a Met? I just looked up "Benitez" in the dictionary and it said "See: Clutch".

I believe this is the turning point in our season.
July 22, 200422 yr :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy By far the most clutch performance I've seen in a long time. If these past four games (two clutch saves, two great comebacks against the Mets, and today) aren't games that turn us around, I don't know what will.
July 22, 200422 yr Well, its obvious now. Benitez folds under pressure. 470742[/snapback] Wheres Hojo to eat his crow. Its waiting in the refridgerator. :mischief
July 22, 200422 yr where are all those people that said benitez chokes, he saved the biggest game of the year. if the marlins lose this game it not only kills momentum it also kills our OWNAGE of the phillies by showing the phillies they can beat us. WHERE ARE THE DOUBTERS NOW??? *COUGHHOJOCOUGH*
July 22, 200422 yr Nice to see the Fish get a series split from the Phillies and now its time to move on to the Expos. Hopefully pick up 1 or 2 games on the leaders. I think that we are back in this thing guys! :thumbup
July 22, 200422 yr In the boxscore it should say: Howard, Bump, c**k get losses, benitez gets two saves.
July 22, 200422 yr Author If the Dodgers offered us a straight up trade Gagne for Benitez, I wouldn't take it.
July 22, 200422 yr If the Dodgers offered us a straight up trade Gagne for Benitez, I wouldn't take it. 470783[/snapback] WTF Please tell me your joking. Let's not get carried away :plain
July 22, 200422 yr It's actually kinda amazing that our pen only gave up 2 runs (both Howard) considering how horrible they were.
July 22, 200422 yr In the boxscore it should say: Howard, Bump, c**k get losses, benitez gets two saves. 470765[/snapback] uhhh....correct me if I am wrong but wasn't it Pavano who allowed 6 runs to score? The bullpen alllowed a combined 2 runs thanks to Benitez... Koch was a mess out there.....

I believe this is the turning point in our season. 470717[/snapback] it probably is...i'd be more convinced if our BP wasnt giving up runs like bitches...and BTW good s*** benitez
July 22, 200422 yr What an incredible pick-up he was in this offseason. I don't even wanna think of where we would be without him. huge props to big poppa, the silver lining in our BP
July 22, 200422 yr Armando is awesome. I wish I saw this on TV. When I met him, I told him to keep up the good work and with pimp look on his face, he simply said, "I will." There you go guys. He is keeping his word.
July 22, 200422 yr If the Dodgers offered us a straight up trade Gagne for Benitez, I wouldn't take it. Lets not get stupid :shifty
