Noah Syndergaard was brilliant for the Mets on Wednesday, pitching seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball. He did all he could to help the Mets win, but it didn’t matter.
Conor Gillaspie hit a three-run homer in the ninth off of closer Jeurys Familia and now the Mets’ season is over. Syndergaard was understandably dejected after the loss, but he managed to put things in perspective in less than 140 characters.
Baseball has a way of ripping your u2764ufe0f out, stabbing it, putting it back in your chest, then healing itself just in time for Spring Training.
