Over the last two games, the Mets emulated what they've done throughout the past month: look good and look bad. Friday night's game was great. John Maine pitched well, the offense came alive and Jose Reyes hit like he did a year ago. Yesterday, Pelfrey pitched badly, the bullpen copied him, and the offense was not enough to offset that. Tough break.
It's a good thing that the Mets have their ace going tomorrow. A good performance can have the Mets take 2 of 3 from these pesky D-Backs. That's pretty good, against the best team in baseball.
Just as a sidepoint, I don't know who exactly designs a team's uniforms, but whoever does it for the Diamondbacks should be shot. Twice. Take a look at this. Maybe it never got to those Arizona officials, but a nickname is supposed to be a NICKNAME!! What are they doing putting it on their uniforms?? It's meant to be shortened for the benefit of fans who say the name often, and sportswriters who write it frequently! Nobody's going to get tired of seeing the word "Diamondbacks" on the uniform once. And if they do, they have other problems.
At least when they come to New York, we won't have to see this embarrassment. They actually spell out the whole "Arizona" on their away jerseys.
