Mixed Bag
Gray, rainy day with mixed results.
Woke up this morning and realized we’d be adjusting our schedule. We had hoped to get some yard work in before the heavens opened up but the rain came early. After managing one load of leaves getting to the dump, we split in different directions to accomplish our errands.
Accomplishing errands = good.
Checked the usual daily web sites and saw that the Psi Phi Awards were up and was beaten by my pal Keith in winning the award for Best Scene with his fall of Betazed. Congrats to Keith.
Losing the vote = bad.
While running around, I started to listen to the Mets-Nationals game and got home in time to watch the amazing fifth inning, when they managed to score 6 runs before the first out. During this prodigious effort, the phone rang and it was Peter David, a fellow die-hard fan, making sure I was watching. We discussed the game and the hitters, noting how sad it is that they walked Carlos Beltran to pitch to Mike Piazza who rewarded them with a flyout earlier in the game. And sure enough, by the time the inning ended, everyone in the line had a hit except Piazza. Heck, Jae Seo had a single and two RBI during the inning.
The Mets offense = very good.
Then, Seo came out and the bullpen proved mediocre, echoing my concerns of previous posts. They surrendered a handful of runs before closing out the game, Mets 10 Nationals 5.
The Mets bullpen = bad.
