You know when you are down 6-0 and still have 25 outs to get in the game, most teams would just fold and just playout the rest of the game and not worry about it. Well, not this team. After Oliver Perez was lite up like the sky over the Statue of Liberty on the 4th of July, the Mets scored 7 runs and had 2 men on with no outs in the 9th when Frenchy hit into the unassisted triple play. Can't blame Frenchy for this, he hit the crap out of the ball...it is just one of those things that seems to be happening to this team this year.
If we look at the positive, if we take away the first inning and Ollie didn't pitch, the Mets win the game 7-3...not bad, but that is not how it works.
Hopefully the Mets can salvage a series split this afternoon as Bobby Parnell takes the hill against Cliff Lee. Lee has been nothing but untouchable since coming over from the Indians, so hopefully the Mets can bring him back to earth. At least that would be nice.
In other news...Mets ownership confirmed that Omar and Jerry will both be back next season. In my mind, you can't blame either of them for this season. Who could have imagined that Beltran, Delgado, Reyes and DW5 would go down with injuries this year? I know not me...lets just hope that everyone is healthy next season.
