What Is Going On?

As I eluded to yesterday in my post Tommy’s Time To Shine, I eluded to the fact that Glavine needed to pitch like an ace in last night’s game. The only problem with this story was that I completely left the bullpen out of the picture and rested the game solely on Tom’s shoulders.

What a travesty last night. I don’t know about any of you but I would be completely all right if Guillermo Mota were to blow his arm and disappear into baseball ambiguity. This guy has cost the Mets more game than I care to think about. But you can’t blame it entirely on Mota. Feliciano and Heilman combined to blow the lead in the eighth inning, after Tommy threw SEVEN SCORELESS INNINGS up. How hard is it to get six outs? Please someone tell me because I’m not understanding something.
