Mets to Rockies: That's Not Niese!
The Recap: Mets 5, Rockies 6
Chris Ianetta's walk-off home run in the 10th inning against Jenrry Mejia spoiled the Mets 8th and 9th inning comeback (although at one point, the Mets did have a 3-1 lead).
TH
E GOOD: Did we mention the Mets once had a 3-1 lead in this game? Besides that, David Wright and Jeff Francoeur (who has hit safely in all eight games this season) both went yard in the game, and as mentioned, the Mets came back from being down by 2 runs by scoring late in the game. Okay, so the tying run resulted from a botched error play by Colorado - the Mets still scored the run, albeit not from anything closely resembling a rally. Let's just say the team provided some excitement for those die-hard Met fans actually watching the game.
THE BAD: Jon Niese got battered around pretty nicely, allowing five runs and nine hits in just five innings. He also allowed a home run to Ryan Spilborghs that I wonder if it landed yet. Jenrry Mejia took the loss (which is okay... it happens), but he sure looked "deer in the headlights" knowing a walk-off was imminent. Finally, today's loss insures the Mets will once again lose a series to an opponent, regardless of whether they win tomorrow (ha ha ha) or not.
THE UGLY: Jose Reyes was hitless in five at-bats. He’s now 4 for 18 since returning from the cozy disabled list. Alex Cora was seen in the dugout giving him batting advice. Oh well... I guess that's better than any advice Howard Johnson can impart, but either way, that's ugly!
