So last night the Mets jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, then flipped the switch to neutral and coasted to an 8-7 lost in extra innings. Hey, remember last year when you guys had a 7 game lead with 17 to play, flipped the switch to neutral and coasted to a second place finish? No? Cause we fucking do! The Mets are something of an enigma as the highest scoring team in ALL of baseball in innings 1-6, and the lowest scoring team in the National League in innings 7 on. See most teams like to grind it out against their opponents starter (theoretically one of the 5 best pitchers on the staff) and then beat up on the weak middle relief. Not the Mets. They like to stomp on the starter early, knock him out of the game, and the go back to the clubhouse to shower for a night ou...oh shit the game's still going on! Ah fuck it, they won't catch us, right? RIGHT? Damn.
In other news, after some deep soul searching Michael Strahan has decided to stay retired and not take over for the injured Osi Umenyiora. I was going to do a post about how a desparate Giants team lowballed their best option into staying retired, but it turns out they offered him a mint and he just really doesn't want to play anymore. Too bad, that was going to be some funny shit. The Giants will instead turn to plan B, moving linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka back to defensive end, where he started his career. Originally moved to linebacker last season because he was blocked by Strahan and Umenyiora, this seems like a good time to see what the former first round pick can do.
