Yesterday’s victory against the Braves felt SOOO GOOOD for so many reasons. First off, considering what the Braves have done to us over the past number of years, it was nice to show them some late inning Met magic. Upon hearing Met announcer say that the Braves had lost 16 straight one run road games this year with no victories, and 21 straight going back to last year, I was thinking with the score 3-2 Atlanta, “Well, that’s about to change”. Fortunately it did not.
I liked the game because not only did we show late inning heroics but, considering the Mets problems getting runs in the late innings and their inability to get a hit with the bases loaded, the came through. Again, with one out and the bases loaded, as Carlos Delgado came to the plate, I was thinking that with a slow runner coming up, we would see a double play. It felt good to be wrong.
It was enjoyable to see someone else’s bullpen implode and relieving to see that the Mets Bullpen did the job. I was also pleasantly surprised with the job Ayala did in relief and impressed to see Oliver Perez, with clearly less than his best stuff, go into the seventh inning and only give up three runs.
Great win yesterday!
Let’s Go Mets!
