DENVER — Either it’s better to be lucky than good, or Mickey Callaway is playing intergalactic chess while the rest of us are stranded in Candy Land.
Been away this entire roller coaster of a Mets season? You could’ve just watched Wednesday’s game and grasped their primary theme: Don’t count them out, even when you suspect them of self-sabotage.
The Mets outlasted the Rockies, 7-4 at Coors Field, in a seesaw contest that featured one of the most confounding in-game decisions among Callaway’s list of grating-est hits. And just when it seemed like that act of omission would send the Mets reeling into Cincinnati, one huge step closer to their graves, it actually paid off.
