How many disappointing wins have the Mets had this year? 6? 12? It feels like every time Santana has a no decision it’s a disappointing win, because Santana almost always pitches a seven-inning, two-run game and the offense is underwhelming and the bullpen blows it. Oh it happened again today? WHADDAYAKNOW.
Thank God for David Wright, coming up with the walk-off homer. Thank God Jerry didn’t sit him after yesterday’s boners (not the good kind). And thank God the Mets were able to fend off the AAA Padres. With a bunch of young kids from AA Binghamton (on Sesame Street Day at Shea, no less!) providing many of the non-Santana pre-ninth inning highlights.
Have I said enough that I’m in love with Daniel Murphy? I’m in love with him. There, I said it. Feels good.
Now Duaner and Scott, you owe Johan a steak.
Oh, there’s also this:
For some reason, American Idol winner David Cook and one of the losers Carly Smithson were in attendance. I don’t know why, but I hope neither sang the national anthem. It would’ve been way yowly.
Not only did Cook sing the anthem, but they BOTH sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the 7th inning stretch. The 7th inning stretch, brought to you by American Idol! Gross.
