The Mets laid an egg for a second straight game and fell into a virtual tie for a playoff spot. Plus, how New York needs to flush their performance and bounce back immediately.
The thrill was the remarkable turnaround from 11 under .500 to 16 over today. But, as B.B. King observed, the thrill is gone.
There just isn't many good signs that this is a playoff team with the ability to go long in the postseason - so the inevitable pain inherent with Mets fandom is near.
On the positive side, isn't Torrens a better choice than Alvy in at least trying to slow down the Brewers track team?
And why is JD Martinez in the lineup while Luisangel sits?
Manager of the Year? Yeah, that guy in the Brewer dugout.
I'm looking at this being the most important game to the season. Regardless of what the Braves do, a win tonight with a DBacks loss would provide some breathing room.
The two games were separated by two off days making it sorta irregular.
I grant that I was quite upset at the performance. OTOH, the magic number is still three.
It would help if the slipping Diamondbacks lost another game. Either way, the Mets have every ability to make it in. Let's hope we have better umpiring. I know the rule about excuses but pitchers who have bad days can gut it out. It is harder if they have a monkey on their backs.
