It stinks to watch a guy throw junk like Misch does and is able to make it work so well that he keep the young Astros off balanced and then throws a lollypop and boom game over.
The Mets powerhouse offense mustered 3 hits and 2 runs while Misch pitched well until the 7th inning. Up until the 7th he had only give up 1 hit, a double to Pence, before the flood gates opened. With 2 on in the 7th Carlos Lee, who was hitting over .300 when he plays the Mets, clocked the first pitched he saw from Misch over the left field fence for a 3 run shot. Of course since the Mets are not hitting that was the game.
The Mets even scored a run with a hit earlier with a couple of walk and shotty fielding by the Astros. Nothing like the Mets fire power offense. Manager Jerry called there outing pathetic. Does he still think this lump of a team has a shot at the playoffs? The Mets now split a 4 game series, have not won a road series and limp on in to Pittsburgh where the Mets always have trouble to play a team that is worse then the Astros.
In a little where are they now bump, the Pirates pitching coach, Ray Searage started his career with the Mets in 1981. He was placed in the position when the Pirates dumped Joe Kerrigan early this month.
