And by "we" I of course mean the Mets. Except for not showing up to the three remaining games for which I possess tickets, there is very little I can do for the team. As of right now, with September looming, the Mets are in first place, which is a pretty good place to be. The bullpen is still in disarray, the offense is inconsistent at best (except in the first inning), and at some point someone is going to realize 36 year old former sluggers don't often enjoy midseason resurgences. Seriously, will someon make Delgado pee in a cup? The man slugged another two home runs last night, including the tying shot with two outs in the 8th before the wheels came off for the Phillies bullpen. Sucks, doesn't it? Before the carnage was over, Daniel Murphy had a go-ahead RBI double and Brian Schneider hit a bloop single to drive in two more runs for the final margin, proving once and for all that white guys on the Mets wearing numbers in the 20s are always clutch. All in all it was nice to see the Mets put Tuesday night's tough loss behind them and come from behind late in a game.
In pathetic attempts to justify my stalkerish obsession news...read this little blurb on ESPN.com this morning: "Despite the gut-wrenching loss Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, Mets All-Star 3B David Wright stopped to sign autographs at 1:35 a.m. for a group of fans who were waiting outside the ballpark." Seriously, how can you not want to chain him up in a cage in your basement?
