Last night was messy, there is no denying that. From costly errors to questionable managerial decisions, it’s time for Mets fans to point the finger.
I asked my Twitter followers who is to blame for the loss. Here are their responses…
ByronBrewer said: Jerry Manuel for poor management in the 7th
mostlymets said: Jerry Manuel. When Delgado couldn't start he should have used Church in right instead of Reed.
darknova306 said: Manuel. Feliciano vs Diaz was the worst matchup I've seen in ages. And you ALWAYS give Johan the chance to decide his fate!
saffir_99 said: Reyes. That play has to be made. It would have made Manuel's odd bullpen management a moot point.
jessicabrooke5 said: I blame Reyes.
metsjetsgirl said: Reyes. The Braves capitalied on his error - which should have ended the inning with the 1-1 tie in place
dances_w_vowels said: Jose Reyes. He had a mental lapse which lead to four runs scoring.
runningstorm said: has to be the defense or lack there of.

BergersBookRev said: Jerry Manuel is to blame. He never should have lifted Santana when he did. Ugh!
gwong said: Who else? Jose Reyes booting that grounder in the 7th did them in.
The jokesters…
metschick said: clearly, it's Johan's fault. Who does he think he is allowing 2 (unearned) R? And then he doesn't even hit a HR?!
kevin_tor said: Myself, for thinking the Mets were going to win before the game started. It's always better to doubt and be surprised.
helfejoh said: george bush
CT_RichEnglish said: Omar, for letting Boras talk him into Perez over Lowe!
Seems Jerry Manuel is the most “popular” choice. The Pedro Feliciano vs. Matt Diaz move just doesn’t make sense to me.
