In true Mets fashion, the team got the tying runners on in the ninth, only to take two poor at bats in a row to finish off another frustrating loss to the Phillies. The final score may have been 5-3, but most of the game was uncompetitive and the team was lucky to even get that far.
Full disclosure. I have been in an Olympics bubble and have not been paying attention to the Mets these past two weeks so their painful struggles have been a mere blip in my periphery. Today I realized I would have to actually sit down and watch the game, but then my favorite beach volleyball team was going for gold so I figured I could easily flip between the two.
