Remember the other day when I was live-blogging “Lost” and I kept mentioning the Mets game, which ended with them shutting out the first place Phillies?
Well, apparently they were just getting warmed up. After having taken two out of three from the Yankees, they wound up shutting out the Phillies three games in a row. Twenty-seven innings of no-run baseball. The Mets haven’t shut out a team for an entire series since 1969, when they did it against (wait for it) the Phillies. They’ve gone from being in the basement to being two games out of first.
Of course, we’ve been at this sort of tipping point for the season before. The problem is that they then go on the road and promptly get blown out. They need to prove they can be a formidable team somewhere outside of CitiField. Now they head off to Milwaukee, so we’ll see if they can get it going against the Brewers.
