SM had a bad day but (I know it's an excuse, but it also is reasonably true) probably could have gutted it out without horrible umpiring. The Mets were down 2-0 until Reid "don't trust him at all now" Garrett and company finished them. And the Mets did get some runs in Game One.
That's the positive. Anyway, my stance has been that if they got in that the playoffs were gravy. I'll dream but it won't be crushing if they lost.
I knew most of the options would be tough to beat. The best would be the Diamondbacks. So, losing in the first round - at least if they gave a fight - would be acceptable.
They still have to get there & these games are depressing. It also shows why -- even if it seems greedy -- they had to win at least a couple more games. We can point out some examples.
I guess this happens to every team but it seems like the bats just disappear for games at a time with this Mets team. Thank god for OMG. Guys need to step up.
