Walk It Off: Mets 4, Braves 3

After Monday night's suckfest, that the Mets somehow made it out of this game with a win really puts a shine on what could've been a very regrettable first two games of the Braves series. Really, there were so many weird/head-scratching/horrifying plays in this game that the Mets should really consider themselves lucky that Wednesday's game will be a rubber match.

Here's a quick recap of the madness.

• Garret Anderson bloop in between Reyes and Beltran with one out and Chipper on first in the fourth
• Anderson's trap on Murphy's fliner that resulted in a fielder's choice putout of Alex Cora at second
• Casey Kotchman's fliner that Beltran trapped two batters later
• Wright thrown out at home on a would-be sacrifice fly by Tatis to end the seventh
• Jose Reyes thrown out stretching a double into a triple in the eighth (Bob Ojeda "likes the aggression")
• Carlos Beltran almost (actually maybe) caught stealing in the ninth.
• Fernando Tatis caught stealing second in the ninth
• Beltran almost striking out looking in the tenth

On top of all of this, the Mets featured one of their weakest lineups of the season, making the come-from-behind victory even more surprising.

Wednesday's game is a matinée, so get here early before all of the good seats are taken.
