"The Mets suffered their most spectacular meltdown in recent memory on Saturday, and one day later, they found themselves trailing and in danger of losing a Subway Series that at one point looked headed toward a Met sweep."
At what point did the Subway Series look headed towards a Met sweep?
The high point for the Mets was heading into the ninth inning of Saturday's game with a 4-0 lead. They already won game one and were about to win game two.
At that point, how on Earth did Michael Obernauer, or anybody else, know the Mets were going to win Sunday's game? At that point, the odds of a Mets sweep are 50%-50%. Maybe a little better since Glavine is better than Small.
Then, after game two, the odds of a Mets sweep shrunk to 0%.
"That's when Carlos Delgado delivered what may well go down as the most important swing of the Mets' season."
For the Mets' sake, I really hope that is not the most important swing of the season. I'm sure they've got some important at-bats coming up in the pennant stretch against divisional opponents.
I know that Saturday's loss had the first-place Mets and their $100 million payroll on a downturn that most teams would have never been able to recover from. Once the Yankees took a 2-0 lead on Sunday, I figured the Mets were beginning their descent to last place.
Then, Carlos Delgado hit a homerun.
