Imagine how it must s-uck traveling all the way to Pittsburgh, get spanked for one afternoon, and then fly right out. Couldn't we just forfeit???

PS. Would LOVE to see the METS GET TOTALLY NUTS and take it out on somebody...alas...do not think they care enough to get p-i-s-s-ed..apathy is not good personality characteristic for a baseball team..

We are done with the Pirates this season. We actually won the series 4-3.

Not a great accomplishment, considering they started up 3-0, against a sub-.500 team (to put it kindly.)

Ha! I guess I spoke too soon. That said, how sad that the season has deteriorated to the point where beating Pittsburgh is viewed as a major victory?

It was the 2nd road extra-inning win this season, the other coming on June 5 against the Nationals.

It was the Mets 20th extra-inning road win in Pittsburgh. It was their first extra-inning road win in Pittsburgh since an 8-7 win on September 18, 2004.

The Mets have had four walk-off losses on July 2, so they were walking a rather dangerous line late this afternoon.

The only other Mets road extra-inning win to take place on a July 2 took place in 1969. The Mets beat the Cardinals in St. Louis, 6-4, in 14 innings.

The only other Met to be plunked twice in a game by a Pirate: Major fistbumps if you knew the answer was Carlos Mendoza, 1997. Mendoza's Mets career lasted 12 at-bats.

Tatis also had 3 hits. That's the most hits by a Met, who was also hit by 2 pitches in the same game.

As if going to Pittsburgh for a one game rainout makeup isn't exciting enough, the Mets were also able to catch the phenomenon known as Anthrocon 2009, a convention where people can dress like animals. Boy, it was the club's lucky day ... let alone Kevin Burkhardt's lucky day.

This has to be the reason that Tim Redding has such an awful start today ... apparently, Redding's goatee was a keynote speaker at the event. Who knew?
