Mets Win on the Road!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game.
Just when you think it’s safe to turn your attention away from the Mets they go ahead and actually win a game on the road. Yesterday they beat the Cardinals by producing some runs to back a solid outing by Pedro Martinez.
Does this mean they’re still in the wild card race? At 5 1/2 games back with 19 games to go they certainly have not been mathematically eliminated but it would take a minor miracle for them to get the wild card after a horrible 2-9 road trip. The team begins a 9 game homestand tomorrow that has them playing 3 games each against the Nationals, Braves and Marlins. After that they hit the road for 3 games each in Washington and Philadelphia before closing the season against Colorado. Playing so many games against so many teams that are ahead of them in the race may give them an opportunity to move up but more likely it will only allow them to play spoiler to one or two of those teams but only if they can pick themselves up. Otherwise these could be the longest 19 games of the year.
