Around SBN: Purdue wins Paradise Jam Tournament 73-72

Catch The Damn Ball

The game was won. Who cares about the blown save. Who cares about all the good things that the Mets did to win the game.This game was over,a simple play and all Luis Castillo had to do was CATCH THE DAMN BALL!!. Of course we all saw what happened he dropped the ball.K-Rod had A-Rod looking stupid and he popped up. Two on two outs and one more out to go. A simple play and Luis didn't make it. He acted like Roberto Duran (hands of stone) and dropped the ball. Two runs crossed the plate and the Mets lose to the Yankees 9-7. Tough loss? Yes it was. Can the Mets bounce back? Sure. The Mets had this game. They scored on Mo Rivera and then Luis gave the game to the Yankees. If the Mets do not make the playoffs when the season is over this loss will be remembered by all the Mets fans because all Luis had to do was CATCH THE DAMN BALL.
