In the discipline of saber, a fencer can strike the body, arms, and head with any part of the sword. The legs and feet are not part of the target. The two other disciplines are foil and epée. In foil, one can only score with the tip of the foil on the body and in epée, the tip can strike any part of the body, including legs and feet, to score.

Last night, Steve Trachsel threw 6 2/3 shutout innings and Mike Stanton and John Franco finished the game, extending the Mets streak of shutout innings to 22. The Mets got started in the 3rd inning when Mike Piazza, the man the Mets can always turn to, hit a single to scoring Danny Garcia. Piazza also had a solo home run in the 6th inning. In the 7th inning, with two outs and the Mets up 3-0, Ty Wigginton dropped the ball (literally) to load the bases, extending the inning and ending the night for Trachsel. The error is the latest thing to make Flushing Local wonder if it's time for him to go. Lucky for the Mets, Stanton struck out Jimmy Rollins to end the inning.

Wigginton's home run gives the Mets another chance to get their record to .500, an elusive mark thus far. They look to sweep the 3-game series against the Rockies behind Tom Glavine who will face former Met Shawn Estes.
