Blog Roundup: Mets > NFL Replacement Refs
Don’t look now, but the Mets have won 4 in a row. How’d they do it? By beating up on teams that are even less competent than they are. They swept the hapless Marlins in a series that Mets’ radio announcer Josh Lewin described as “schadenfreude theater.” It was nice to see another team implode for a change. Then they won the first game of the series against the Pirates, a team that has echoed the Mets’ pattern of getting off to a hot start, only to collapse in the second half. Ike Davis hit 2 home runs in the game to raise his tally to 30 for the season. Who woulda thunk it (to coin a phrase)?
