Don't Get Greedy!
The Mets lost a brutal matchup against the Phillies last night 5-4. Pedro pitched well (10 k's) but still gave up three runs. The Mets did come back to tie the game in the 8th. However, opting not to close with Wagner, Randolph let Heilman close. Heilman loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth and gave up the winning run on a fielding error.

It's a shame. Getting your butt kicked is one thing and tends to bring the team down to earth. Losing this type of game, well, it hurts more when you have victory in your grasp. Fear not though, Mets fans. We are still the best team in the National League and No. 2 in all of baseball. Although Philly is hot, they are still three games back. Don't get over confident! Don't commit the sin of hubris!

Doubly disapointing is that the Yankees got beat, too, losing 14-3. As every Met fan knows, there is nothing more gratifying than a Mets win coupled with the Yankees getting spanked by the 'Sox.
