HIT THE SHOWERS JOSE
I can’t write enough about the Mets. They are an absolute train wreck. You couldn’t script these games any better. Where do you even start? Two nights ago, a man on third with no outs, bottom of the 9th in a tie game, and you can’t score? How about man on third with no outs in the 7th AND 8th innings as well, and all you can muster is a bases loaded walk. Pathetic! Just a guess here, but something tells me the usual team gangbang in the Mets shower wasn’t quite as lively after that one. There’s no way Jose Reyes did his usual post-coital La Bamba pee-pee dance with his other Latin teammates. He was too upset. Seriously. And who cares if they won last night. The best part was that when they pulled Pedro with two men on, the first pitch the reliever threw was a three run homer. Magical.
The Phils have dodged some massive bullets recently. They’ve looked pathetic in the process too. But not as bad as the Mets. And if I’m a Mets fan, I don’t like the following quote from Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez about their season ending series in New York this weekend, “I fully intend to play my starters this weekend for the integrity of the game”. Also from the Miami Herald, “Last season, the Marlins knocked the Mets out of the playoff picture on the final weekend of the regular season, and there already is talk among players that they would love nothing more than to spoil the Mets’ season again. There even is an outside chance that pitcher Josh Johnson, who started and won Wednesday for the Marlins, could be used in late-inning relief Sunday if that game carries playoff significance.” Ouch.
But like everything we do here on City of Pain, we must call it like we see it. We want the Mets to make the playoffs, without question. Not just for the possible, yet unlikely, scenario in which we could meet them in the NLCS, but simply because the Phillies want zero part of CC Sabathia TWICE in a best of five game series. Go Mets?
