And The Hits Just Keep On (Not) Coming

Mets, actually; Schoenweis, waste back-to-back-to-back homers from Delgado, Wright, and LoDucca throwing the game away (again) in extra's (again) to lose to the Phils (again!) 6-3. Good news is the Mets actually scored more than 2 runs. Bad news is, as of 10:17 pm Oklahoma time, Armando Heilman and Scott Shoen-Wuss are still Mets. Hard to blame Wagner for this, even after giving up the tying home run in the 9th. He's been rock solid all year, so it's tough to see him let down like he did tonight. Unlike Heilman and Shoen-Wuss, Wagner usually bounces back the next night.

Not a lot to add, the best thing about this series is that it's over. Good series by the Phils, and if you take anything away from this series as a Mets fan, remember this: It took 2 extra inning games, 3/4's of our rotation in the outfield being hurt, AND Armando Heilman and cousin Scott Benitez giving away games for this sweep to take place. Still feel real good about this team and the direction they are headed. Seem to have a few housekeeping issues to resolve and some way to get the bats heated up, but this team will be fine.

Gotta wipe away the Phils series and go get 2 of 3 from the Tigers starting tomorrow.
