Mets finally win a rubber game of a series 6-4


Nothing is easy. Even after a gem from Santana who seemed to lose steam in the 8th. He gave up 1 run in 7 and 2/3 innings. He kept the Yankees off balance all night. Of course it helped that Texieria is still mired in a slump. Nice to see Johan pitch that way especially when the ESPN guys seem to harp on his last start against the Phillies and last years shellacking he took from the Yankees.

Nice to see Bay not have to say" you got to be kidding me" as he trotted around the bases has he did Friday night in the 9th when his double he for sure thought was a dinger.

Bay is batting 3rd and has a 15 game hitting streak at home and as been on base every at bat since his double Friday night. 2 homers and 3 rbi's Sunday night . His first 2 homer game since April of last year. Yeah he is hot.

Mets of course had to make interesting in the 9th but even after 28 pitches last night K Rod was able to retired A Rod with the tying runs on base with a soft curveball on a 3-2 pitch to give the Mets the series and there first rubber game win in 7 tries.

Now they wait until Tuesday for the Phillies. The Mets went 7-10 over the 17 games since there last day off. Most fans thought they would do better if you look at the results of our poll. This of course was before Niese went to the DL,Ollie to the Pen and Maine to the DL.
