Finally!

The Mets managed to stop the bleeding. I don’t know, however, if this is just a temporary measure or a permanent measure. The Mets gave up a lead but managed to fight to come back and tie the game. Yesterday’s game had a very different feeling than the night before. The night before you could feel the Mets trying to find a way to lose the game. Yesterday, I really got the impression they wanted to win.

Unlike the previous night, this time the Mets managed to score a ninth inning run. At the time, it ensured that the Mets would have at least a share of the wildcard lead. Milwaukee, scoring four runs in the tenth, ultimately did make sure it was a tie for the wildcard lead. The truth is, the only reason the two teams are tied right now has to do with the Mets inability to play over the past week. That is why it was so refreshing to see them win a ballgame.

The problem is trying to figure out if the Mets are just toying with their fans, trying to find a new way to break our hearts or if the Mets truly are going to play strong baseball over the last three games of the season. I am disgusted the Mets are not in first in the NL East and I am disgusted that the Mets are tied for first for the wildcard instead of being in first. Still, they have to deal with where they are right now. Last night, they finally did that in an appropriate manner.

Let’s Go Mets!
