Don't Blame Aaron


Before we start hearing how Heilman blew it, just remember a few things:


  1. Heilman was in his third inning of relief

  2. The Mets left 16 men on base

  3. The Mets on seven occasions left runners in scoring position with two outs.

Some quick notes:


Good job by Fernando Tatis hitting a HR in the bottom of the ninth to tie the score;


Brandon Knight, after giving up four runs in the first inning settled down nicely, to pitch five innings. Even thought it wasn't a "quality start", he rebounded nicely.


Jose Reyes was a triple away from the cycle. He had two doubles, a single, and a HR.


Carlos Delgado continues his hot hitting with two HR's.


Oliver Perez was warming up in the bullpen in the 14th inning.

The big thing is the Mets need to rebound from last night's tough loss. They have shown this ability since Manuel has taken over.
