What a Way to Lose
At least when the Mets lose, they manage to do so in spectacular fashion. Last night is no exception. Pedro Martinez pitches eight innings of no-hitter. There's one away and Antonio Perez hits a 1-1 pitch driving the ball to the wall. Gerald Williams--subbing for injured Carlos Beltran--could not make an admittedly difficult play at the wall. One pitch later a homer scores two runs. The no-hitter, the game, the series and perhaps the rest of the season is decided. Bottom line: Mets take only two games in their road trip. Post season hopes keep fading. Click here for the recap of the game.
