After falling behind 2-0, the Mets tied the game when they (finally) got a break. No, really, the Mets caught a break, I’m serious. With one out in the fifth and Nick Evans on first, Santana squared to bunt , then pulled the bat back and swung away. He broke his bat and then the ball hit the broken bat shard a second time as it dribbled towards short eluding cub SS Ronny Cedeno. After Luis Castillo walked to load ‘em up David Wright delivered a two run single to tie it. The Mets broke it open in the sixth with a 3 run triple from Jose Reyes, his 200th hit of the year. Jose become only the second Met to have 200 hits in a season. Lance Johnson had 227 hits in 1996.
As for the Phiiles and Brewers…Milwaukee beat the Pirates for the 10th straight time on a walk off by fat boy Fielder (whose very name is a misnomer because he can’t even do what his name implies). 10 in a row over the Pirates, are you serious?
Signs of the apocalypse…Mike Hampton beat Cole Hamels last night 3-2. Mike Hampton back from the dead. Uh…also..Cole Hamels? Can you spell o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d?
