Becoming the Comeback Kids

So, I was able to make it to my first Mets game of the season this past Sunday on a trip back to New York. I was especially excited by two things: the new Mets Hall of Fame and Tim Lincecum pitching against the Mets.


The Mets Hall of Fame did not disappoint. Here are a couple pictures I took of it.



Timmy was good, but he did not dominate. The Mets were able to drive up his pitch count and get two runs off him after ceding him a 4-0 lead. To be fair to Lincecum the Giants fielders tried their hardest to give the game away to the Mets, so by the time Lincecum left it was 4-2 Giants.


Yet, Mr. Met was not done with his rally cry and the Mets were actually able to take the lead off the Giants bullpen.


However, an Aaron Rowand HR that several commentators have said "hit a jetstream" on an incredibly windy day in, addition to Brain Wilson, sealed the deal for the Giants.


I was, nonetheless, impressed that the Mets came back even if they did not win. They also took 2 of 3 from one of the better teams in the NL. Then, yesterday they actually completed a comeback against the less imposing Nationals. It is good to see the Mets have some heart again.

PS: It was Mothers Day, and, yes, I did bring my Mom to the game.
