Living in Baltimore, I don't get the Mets games on TV. Tonight, I was staying up to see how Pedro was doing via Gameday on the computer, and watching the Daily Show on TV. Now I don't want politics to enter this blog. Jon Stewart was interviewing Terry McAuiffe, who is a huge Hilary Clinton supporter. I am sure you have all heard by now that Obama has locked up the nominee spot in a numerical sense. Even with that, Terry was extremely excited about how Clinton was going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. To this Stewart responded somewhere along these lines: I am a big Mets fan, and last year, the Mets went through a historic collapse…now use your enthusiasm to convince me the Mets won the World Series last year.
I am sure the clip will be up some time tomorrow on the Daily Show website.
Although Reyes didn't get a hit tonight, it was still a pretty good game. The main issues or criticisms I would have about tonight is that the Mets did not get anything together. Then Schowenwies, who has been effective this year, lost his ability to close out the game with a 6 run lead, and Wagner had to come in for a two pitch save.
This was a good day for Pedro. He struggled, he allowed three runs. But at the end of the day, he got a quality start and the Mets won. The Pedro offense was also a nice touch tonight.
Lets Keep it going Mets!
