Mets @ Phillies, 8/27-30

Okay, I was all set to excoriate Heilman for giving up the tying run (as I figured he would), but that just isn't fair.

 

I'm inconsolible

 

And Heilman continues to have ridiculously bad luck.

Edit: and Gary was right - Reyes misplayed that.

 

"the ball stayed fair and it felt very foul for the mets"

what a terrific play on words by the great one, gary cohen.

 

lead down to 4... 3 games cut off in 3 days...

 

the mets will not win this game.

 

Atlanta scored two in the 8th to tie the game against the Marlins. It's now in the top of the 10th. (If this was announced during the game, sorry - I missed it.)

Should be one more batter and then pretty much be all over.

 

baseball is such a bullshit game.

 

wow what horrible luck for Heilman

 

Heilman gets out of it. Bad fielding and bad luck for a bad result.

 

I disagree.

 

if we win, Cakes will be here to tell us that he knew it all along

 

Well, maybe the good thing that could come out of this would be the Mets destroying the king of all assholes, Brett Myers.

 

I hope Philly gets the WC.

 

why is mota warming

 

surely not with this part of the lineup.

 

That would be good because the Mets could beat on the Cubbies or Brewers in the NLDS. Them beatin' on the Cubs would be a great joy for me.

 

Mota in to lose the game in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Losing this one would really, really suck. You knew that, but it's worth repeating.

 

Maybe 'cause the Mets just want to end the game and drink some beer. They figure even if the Phillies win 3 games in this series, they won't catch the Mets anyway.
