I thought Hollywood was out of original ideas. The New York Mets have topped the film capital of the world this week by losing five straight due to the bullpen blowing leads. Beginning with the Sunday finale against the Chicago Cubs, the Mets visited the Philadelphia Phillies where they lost all four games in the same fashion.
Thursday’s loss was a new low. After getting one-hit all afternoon long, Todd Frazier managed to smack a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give them the 2-1 lead. Amed Rosario helped add another on a groundout.
