Jose's Back - But So Is the Rest of the Team
The Recap: Mets 3, Washington 4
The Mets lacked timely hitting and couldn't overcome Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Perez' usual unpredictable outing. Heard from the 3rd base box seats: "It's a good thing Johan's pitching tomorrow... these Nationals are THAT good!"
THE GOOD: No one can spell or pronounce any of their names, but you have to like the Mets bullpen so far. They've all been outstanding. It was also nice seeing Jose Reyes out there, who tried to start a ninth-inning rally with his first hit of the season, but also made a error in the field as well. Doesn't matter... Jose, it's nice to have you back - just STAY back!
THE BAD: Like most Mets fans, we at MetsFanClub.com really want to see Oliver Perez do well. But 5.2 innings of work with 4 earned runs and 4 walks is pretty bad - especially considering the competition. (although I bet Washington's John Lannan and the whole Nat team for that matter is probably saying the same thing about the Mets).
THE UGLY: The Mets loaded the bases in the third inning, only to see Jeff Francoeur nubbing a pitch into the dirt in front of the plate, where catcher Ivan Rodriguez stepped on the plate and fired to first for a rarely (if ever) seen double play. And of course Gary Matthews grounded out to end the "rally". Based-loaded, no one out, no one scores... how many times have we seen that with this team just this year alone?!? Only the Mets...
