So things seem to be coming back to normal for the Metropolitans. Sloppy play and untimely hitting for an extended period of time.
Happened again this afternoon, blowing a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth and wasting an awesome effort from Mike Pelfrey. Big Pelf was pulled after eight innings and 102 pitches, only giving up one run. But the bullpen and a combination of Ruben Tejada and Kirk Nieuwenhuis let that three run lead slip away and forced the Mets to come up at the bottom of the inning.
Luckily they did a better job than last night. Although it was a sloppy play which led to the winning run, the Mets were able to walk off as winners while snapping their three game losing streak.
If they continue to play with fire, over the long haul of the season, they will get burned more often that not. The sloppiness and ugliness needs to get eliminated. Quickly.
