The Mets have done two things very well this year. 1) They never count themselves out, even in games when they are facing a daunting deficit, which has resulted in some impressive comebacks. And 2) they win series. Nine straight series, to be exact—with one split in there. These two factors have been the main things that have made the start to this season so promising.
Today, they demonstrated the first quality fairly effectively. Despite falling behind, the team showed the kind of fight that has been uncommon to see from them in recent years. Alas, they didn’t have quite enough to make for yet another dramatic victory.
