There’s nothing particularly clever to say about tonight’s Mets game. They just went out there and embarrassed themselves against the playoff-bound Red Sox. They were knocked around early and often, and ended up getting swept in the season series after falling 12-5 at Fenway Park. If there is one positive to find from tonight’s defeat, it’s that there’s only ten more games left in this miserable season.
You could pretty much see how things would go tonight two batters into the ballgame, when Kyle Schwarber unloaded on a 2-2 offering from Taijuan Walker and sent it well over the center field wall to give Boston a 1-0 lead.
