14 Games to Go Part II

Disaster strikes the Mets again. A clearly compromised Pedro Martinez, kept the Mets in the game through the 5th, but cracked a little in the 6th. Mets were down 4-1 after Anderson Hernandez off all people got a huge two out single off Pedro. Then in the bottom of the seventh, Duaner Sanchez came in with two outs and gave up three runs before he recorded an out. Mets threatened to make it close in the 8th but a badly timed double play by David Wright pretty much snuffed out any chance they had.

Another really tough night for Mets fans, as the nightmare we lived through in September 2007, continues to seemingly play out again, in almost the exact same fashion. Again it started with the bullpen and seems to be spreading through the team. Pelfrey tonight can stop the bleeding with a big start tonight. Mets absolutely need a win tonight. Brandon Knight pitches tomorrow.

There you have it.
