Can We Go Home Now?

No matter what the outcome of tonight's game; this has not been a good trip for The Mets. Two lost games, and now an artificial turf related injury to Jose Reyes. These games from the start had the feel of exhibition games with the loss of intensity and purpose. Once you let your guard down you open yourself up for mishaps and injury.

Now this is not meant to be a tirade against expanding the borders of major league baseball, or am I taking a disparaging view of this series. i just think that artificial turf is detrimental to the game and when it was in fashion in the 70s and 80s it was the cause of numerous and debilitating injuries. So in that regard, this stadium looks and feels like an anachronism and reminder of the bad old days of gaudy uniforms and goofy mascots(no offense to Mr. Met).

So lets hope for a win. But more importantly, lets hope that reyes' injury is not serious and that the rest of the team can leave healthy and unscathed.
