Before reverting to Eeyore mode, I'll give the Mets some well-deserved praise for hanging tough through 18 innings to defeat what many consider to be the best team in baseball. The Mets are trying, at least. And now, back to Eoyore mode.
Trying? Trying my patience, and that of everyone else watching this team (except, apparently, the front office). 25 men left on base, tying a franchise record. 1-for-26 with runners in scoring position. Dead last in the National League in runs, ahead of only the White Sox in MLB. Dead last in MLB in batting average. But 17th in walks, so I guess Sandy Alderson's moneyball approach must be working.
