Only One Game

Last night's game, a 7-1 whooping over the Phillies, was just one game.  Just one game out of the 162 game schedule and just one game out of the 18 that the Mets play against their division opponent.  From tonight through the end of September, anything can happen.  There is a bunch of time for all the negative energy that has plagued this team recently to come back and show its ugly head.  Last night was just one game, one small sample of the good this team could do.

But it was one hell of a game.  Chris Young looked great, limiting the Phillies to only one run while striking out seven in his first start with his new team.  David Wright is on fire!  Four more hits last night.  Jose Reyes and Angel Pagan got on base and ran the bases with a purpose, and made the opposing defense look silly in the process.  The bullpen was lights out again.  That all pushed the Mets to a great victory over their division rivals.

Just one game, but one hell of a game at that.

3-1
