Nationals 6 Mets 4
Johan Santana makes Mets history.
Mets save up all their offense for the final game. Why didn’t they put that Harvey kid in the lineup in the first two games?
Braceletgate, and Bruce is The Boss of the Mets, who suddenly have a hungry heart in the badlands by the river in Cincinnati. The offense was blinded by the light of Mike Leake‘s fastball, and their at-bats resembled someone dancing in the dark.
Mets avoid sweep, beat Braves — though, it took three pitchers to get the final out of the game.
What happened to the offense? What happened to the “never say die” attitude?
Fifty games left and the Mets are 14.5 games behind the NL East-leading Washington Nationals, and 9.5 games behind the two Wild Card leaders. Is there enough time to make a run? Can R.A. Dickey pitch at least three times every five days?
