Seven Red

So so day for the Metropolitans. They dropped one they really should have won after a tough performance from Johann. It’s just another signal that the bats will have to stay lively to support the relief crew, but I think we already knew that. The second game went much better, with solid contributions from the likely suspects. I like that beltran seems to feel better this September. The bullpen also stepped up in Game 2. Barring a bad eighth inning in the first game, the Mets essentially shut out the Braves for 17 innings, which is not bad.

The contuing slide of the Brewers is a mixed bag. It’s good because the Cubbies are more or less assured their playoff spot this year, and this town is going to be fun and crazy with the Cubs in the hunt. It’s bad because the Brew Crew should be beating up on the Phillies and giving us more breathing room. Then again, the breathing room is coming from the other direction, since the collapse of the Brewers mean that the NL East is increasingly looking like it will field the Wild Card team, whether that ends up being the Phils or the Mets. Still, I’d like to see Milwaukee take at least one from Philadelphia, if only to slow their roll a bit.
