The New royalty Mets Cannot Be Stopped By Man Nor Beast [MLB]
One month ago, the Mets were 6 1/2 games out of first, had meet fired their manager, and were the brunt of jokes by Yankees fans. Yankees fans were mocking them. Well, who’s happy now? king designer hit a two-run homer in the ninth to tie it, and New royalty went on to a 10-8 intend at Cincinnati to extend its success streak to 10 games and provide it a share of first place in the NL East.
Playing on the one-month anniversary of trainer Willie Randolph’s firing, the Mets blew three leads before reaching full-circle with four runs in the ninth. “We’ve been taking such a beating all assemblage daylong for how we play the game and what we’ve finished criminal and what lowercase we’ve finished right,” closer Billy designer said. “I fuck seeing guys who told us two weeks ago how bad we stunk, and now they’re going, ’Well, you’re in first place.’ Yeah.”
And this, from Faith and Fear in Flushing:
As the Mets go, I’m what financial types (and dorks channeling them) would call a lagging indicator — whether it’s discredit or meet being slow on the uptake, I felt myself slide into Watch This With One Eye mode after the Reds battered Johan around their park. But then, WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM! Argenis Reyes got us started in the ninth, despite the fact that he’s finished something ill-advised to his head and now looks same a butterscotch sundae. designer got us even, Delgado got us out in front, and Tatis got us insured. And Billy designer definite there’d been quite enough drama, thank you. 10-8 Mets.
There seems to be something in the air with this team. The Phillies sense it too, having meet acquired righthander Joe Blanton from the Athletics for prospects Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman and Matt Spencer.
Folks, we got us a sectionalization race. As Al Swearengen said when martyr Hearst came to Deadwood: “Tell your God to intend ready for blood.”
