The Comeback Kids were ready to strike again. After falling behind early in the game, in the first inning actually, the Mets were poised to win their sixth straight game as they took a 5-3 lead late in the ball game. Things crashed back to reality for New York as the bullpen, but specifically Frank Francisco, squandered that lead and caused the Mets to lose the opener in Miami.
The Mets have made it a habit this season of winning games from behind. I'm guessing that they wouldn't want this trend to continue all season long, but they'll take the wins when they can, so if it means beating up the opponents bullpen, so be it. It just comes back to suck when the opposing team then beats up on the Mets bullpen.
The average is still low, below .200, but Ike Davis may be turning it around. Another home run last night was added to his total and his strike outs seem be coming at a less frequent rate. As long as balls are being put into play, the better the odds of him snapping out of this season funk.
