Why Don't We Win One On The Road?

Why don't we win one on the road?
Okay so I changed the lyrics a bit, but weren't the Beatles insightful regarding Wednesday's Met game on the road against Arizona, when they finally won a road game by a 6-4 final with just about no fans really caring?
Coming off his best start of the season, Oliver Perez looked to pick up his first road win in 11 months. The Mets and Diamondbacks were in a pitcher's duel until the sixth when Fernando Tatis scored Gary Sheffield with a single (of course Tatis then got caught in a rundown for an easy out, but at least Jeff Francoeur scored also while Tatis was tagged out), making the score 3-1 at the time.
Then Sean Green came into the game and struck out 3 hitters!!! Oh, but did I mention he also gave up the game-tying runs in the inning as well? Well, he did have help from Pedro Feliciano in a "blown-hold" appearance where he actually got credit for vulturing the win when the Mets scored 2 in the eighth inning and once in the ninth for insurance.
And insurance was greatly needed as KRod had another clunker performance, although he did hang on enough to record the "save" - and we use that term lightly. Can you imagine: entering a game with a 6-3 lead, almost blowing it, and still getting a save? Once again we ask: is there a more ridiculous stat in baseball other than the "save" (and the "hold" for that matter is also equally as meaningless.).
Cory Sullivan - batting leadoff - tripled twice, made a nice play in centerfield, and is "grateful for playing for the Mets". Sheffield had 2 hits and wants to stay with the team next season. David Wright went 3 for 5 and wants to remain a Met for his entire career. Tatis went 3 for 4 and has never enjoyed baseball more. Wow... this Met team must be a great team to play for!
The Mets finally won one on the road - in a game nobody watched.
