Staff Writer Paul Lo Duca Paul Anthony Lo Duca (born April 12, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York) is a catcher in Major League Baseball who plays for the New York Mets. Previously, Lo Duca played for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1998-2004) and Florida Marlins (2004-2005). finally found "Finally Found" was the debut single from the Honeyz.

That brought Lo Duca, who didn't start because he has been nursing a broken finger, off the bench as a pinch hitter for Alex Gonzalez. The crowd, which cheered Lo Duca wildly throughout the series, was mixed, and some even cheered when Lo Duca took a high fastball and walked to load the bases. ``Sitting at home, I knew I wasn't going to start, but I had a feeling I was going to end up pinch hitting in a tough situation,'' Lo Duca said. ``He got the 3-2 pitch up, and fortunately I was able to lay off. ... He's got nasty stuff, but he got a couple pitches up and we took advantage of it.'' Harris came up and doubled into the gap in right-center off Gagne (4-2) to score all three runners. The last runner, Lo Duca, barely slid in ahead of the tag of catcher Brent Mayne, then got up, pumped his fists and dashed to the dugout, high-fiving teammates all the way in celebration. ``I love those guys (former teammates) and they know it, but when you're in a game like that you're going to get excited,'' Lo Duca said. ``It's only happened twice in 2 1/2 years.'' Gagne brushed past reporters on his way out of the clubhouse and declined to talk, and the Dodgers' friendship with Lo Duca seems only to go so far. ``He was a great teammate, but he's not here anymore,'' Milton Bradley said. ``He said he wanted to kick our butts. I wish (Harris) would have hit the ball to me so I could have made a play on it.'' Lo Duca's walk set up Harris, an 18-year veteran who played for the Dodgers from 1989 to '93 and, in 2001, broke former Dodger Manny Manny may refer to: In nobility:
``That's what I'm there for,'' Harris said. ``I think what motivated me is that when I was in the on-deck circle, somebody screamed at me and said I should have retired already. I said, 'I'm not done yet.' '' To make things worse for the Dodgers, the win went to Guillermo Mota (9-5), who went to the Marlins along with Lo Duca and Juan Encarnacion on July 30 for Brad Penny and Hee-Seop Choi. Mota pitched a scoreless eighth inning, getting out of a bases-loaded jam by getting Mayne to fly out. ``You have to push runs across; there's no excuse for that,'' said Bradley, who started the eighth with a single. ``They're the world champions and apparently we forgot about that. A game like that propels teams to the playoffs, and we can't let that happen on our home field.''
