It is a good day for a sports team when they don’t play and still do well. The Mets had an off day yesterday. Certainly having a day to regroup right now is not a bad thing. Still, it was not just the day off that helped the Mets.
After a two game set with the Phillies, which was split, the Phills went on to Chicago to play the Cubs. First a quick comment on the second game where the Mets came back and beat the Phillies. It was great to see the Mets did not let Philadelphia pick up momentum. The Mets were losing heading into the eighth inning. With Santana set to take the loss and the Phills set to sweep the Mets, New York came back. Carlos Delgado had a great night and tied it up and then the Mets went on to take the lead in the eighth as well and won the game. Turn about is fair play.
Following a tough loss for the Phills (you’ll understand if I don’t feel sorry for Philadelphia), they went to face the Cubs. The Cubs are playing some great baseball right now and have the best record in the National League. A couple of years ago when Lou Pinella was not manager, he did some play-by-play for TV. I was convinced the man was done. He did not know the names of the players, he was saying incorrect things about players, he seemed not to know. I did not think he would last in Chicago. Give him credit. He has the Cubbies play strong baseball.
Honestly, as a Met fan, right now Chicago scares me. Still, we are not playing the Cubs and the Phillies are so right now, I am just going to enjoy the series.
Let’s Go Mets!
