Baseball is such a marathon that it provides different types of losses, some you experience on a weekly basis.
There are the gut wrenching ones.
The inexplicable ones.
The concerning ones.
And then you have the ones that you have tonight, the annoying ones. The Phillies came into Citi Field facing a team that was red hot. The Mets had so much more to play for with their playoff lives at stake almost each night. The Phillies just needed to win one game. They did that, the bare minimum. Tonight provided an opportunity for the team to win the division and celebrate on enemy turf, yet an annoying evening prevented that.
