Well, that was ugly

I hope I never have to watch a baseball game like that again.

In a game the Mets should have easily won, Christian Guzman the Washington Nationals came roaring back and could have won it if it wasn't for some timely hitting.

Looks like the stellar pitching went into the tank, and fast.

A win is a win, and the Mets are now 3.5 games up with 17 to play. I feel much better about this season than last, especially because the Mets have seemed to find out how to beat the Nationals in September.

Last season, the Mets couldn't seem to figure out Washington, and it cost them the postseason. This year, though the Nats bats seem to know every pitch the Mets are going to throw, the Mets have been just a tad bit better, and that's all that matters.

Keep winning, and all the problems will be solved.

Another day off today, which is a little odd, but it's giving them a break for the home stretch.
