Sloppy Defense

The Mets are playing poorly on the right side of the field. With Fukudome on first, Cedeno hits a ball down the right field line with two out. There's no way Pagan can catch it, but he makes believe he can. With two out, Fukudome is running anyway. Pagan ends up bobbling the ball and Kosuke scores from first. After an intentional walk, Lilly hits a ball to the second baseman who is pulled over toward first. Delgado doesn't cover the bag, and the throw to the pitcher covering is late. That loads the bases, and Reed Johnson singles in two. The Cubs take a 3-0 lead. No errors, but the defense, not the pitcher, really gave up those runs.
