The Bright Side of a Bad Series

Now, don't get me wrong, like most Mets fans I was cursing pretty heavily when Santana walked Moyer, andI had a feeling the grand slam was going to follow. Also, do not mistake me for someone who thinks that the Citizen Bank Park is not a joke of a bandbox (though Santana cannot blame his performance on that fact alone).

At the same time, it is still early in the season and I cannot give up on the Mets even now, especially not after that streak they put together last week. I also am interested to see how they rebound in Cincinnati and how they play the Giants next weekend.

Additionally, it is hard for me to forget this man's performance on Friday night:


Similarly, this man's at bats are so encouraging that I am impressed even when he does not get a hit.



Lastly, though this man had a bad game, he did not pitch nearly as bad as his stat line from Saturday looked.
