[Small voice] I almost sort of like those. It's like the Pads have swapped their standard McDonald's crew gear for the server outfits at a Tijuana tequila bar. [/small voice]
David Peterson is almost becoming reliable. Huh. It helps when the team gets you a ridiculous amount of runs, but plenty of aces have the team energized because they know the stud can make a lead stand up. Doc got plenty of runs. (We will ignore the pained moans of a certain Mr. de Grom for purposes of this discussion.)
Gary tells us that, through Friday, the Phools are an NL-worst 12-20 since the All-Star break. Gee, imagine how much ground the Mets could have made up…if we had done better than treading water at 18-16 over that stretch. So yes, the Mets gained 5 games in those 5 weeks…but we're still 7.5 back. With only 32 games left.
20-12 (reasonable for a contender) and we'd be only 4.5 behind. Grrr. The Tragic Number is at 26.
