Let's everyone take a long deep breath...
You good?
With 1st and 3rd and no outs, in last night's ballgame, up 5-3, Willie turned to Jorge Sosa. Over the last two weeks, it seems like everything has gone wrong in these sort of situations. To get out of such an inning giving up only a run would be positive. These were the type of innings where games were blown.
Which is why we owe a lot to Jorge Sosa. A strike out and a phantom double play and the Mets newest collapse was no longer. I don't want to say that Jorge Sosa saved our season, but he certainly saved this game. A very big game in that.
Yadier took care of us. He owed us one. His RBI single in the bottom of the 10 put the Mets up 3 in the loss column over the Fightins with 11 to go. Not too bad.
I may be the only person in this community that has actually enjoyed these last two weeks. My friends say its cause I'm not a good Mets fan. That may be the case. But for me, this is the first time I have sweat in the regular season in 7 years. I found myself glued to the scoreboard hoping that the Cards would take their game against the Phils. I'm talking glued. I can't remember the last time that happened.
These losses are good for both the Mets and their and their fanbase, a fanbase that has changed in only 18 months from lovable losers to people who expect nothing but a win. Think back to 2006. When we lost game 7 to the Cards no one knew how to take it. No one expected it and no one thought it was possible.
You get too loose when things are just handed to you and we are Mets fans. That's not us. I'm loving this sweat. I'm loving knowing that we're fighting for a postseason birth. And I am really loving baseball right now.
And I'm even hoping the Yankees pass the Sox. Both teams are going to make the playoffs anyway and for me the comedy value of the Red Sox choking is just too great. Boston fans were even quicker to change their ways than Mets fans. They went from being "America's Losers" to "America's Winners" which of course they are not. I still will always root for the over the Yanks but in this case, I'm willing to let that go.
That's my piece.
Vaya,
