Nine minutes until first pitch. Nervous time for Mets fans. Another brutal loss yesterday in a fashion all too familiar to Mets fans. They carrry a lead into the late innings, fail to build on it, and blow it real late in the game. Yesterday it was a 4-2 Mets lead to start the 9th ended up as a 7-4 loss.
Pedro gets the ball tonight. He needs to find the magic and figure out how to go 6 innings or so and keep the Mets in the game (or preferably in the lead). A huge game for Pedro and the Mets. A win, and the lead is at 1.5 games with 13 to go. A loss and a slim 1 game lead get sliced in half.
On the wild card front, in an interesting move, the Brewers, who have everything invested in winning this year, fired their manager Ned Yost. Panic move? Maybe. But I think its pretty smart, considering how much ground they have hemmoraged in the past couple of weeks. They currently sit in a flat-footed tie with the Phillies after leading almost the entire season so far.
Will post after game tonight.
