Cubs 6, Mets 2

Suckiest suck that ever sucked: John Maine - 2.2 ip, 4h, 6r, 6er, 3bb, 1so, 1 hbp

Bleh. Would've been a close game if not for Maine's implosion in the third.

blaming the umpire who
may have missed a very close call for the loss is ridiculous. I've seen mets win on bad umpire calls and nobody credits the umpire for the win. How do you know Maine wouldn't have fallen apart in the next inning and how about blaming Maine for losing it.I can't see how you can call yourself a smart baeball fan and blame the umpire for the loss. Absurd

game of inches
i get it.  it just sucks when you dont get the call.   maine didnt have to fall apart but the ump still blew it.

you don't get it
it was a very close play-a bang-bang play. The Mets blew it, not the umpire. It's not like Mets lost by a run or the play came in 9th inning. Sometimes you lose games because the other team pitches and hits better. It happens in a 162 game schedule. So stop whining

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
