Despite all the other blown early leads this season, this obviously takes the "worst game of the season" tag thus far.
Heck it could've been worse earlier. Oliver Perez walked the leadoff man on four pitches. He regrouped after that, but then it all fell apart in the 5th inning in typical fashion. Three chances to get one more out and qualify for the victory and our $36 million man could not get it done.
The Mets had an easy 5-4 lead in the 8th. Carlos Beltran, however, chose not to get dirty. Instead he steps on Yadier Molina's (I'm sick of this guy) foot instead of home plate and gets tagged out.
How much longer do you go with Daniel Murphy in left field? You think the kid has any pressure on him to keep up that .300+ batting average? He turns a line out to left field into a triple. JJ Putz finally gets knocked around and gives up two runs and that's your ballgame.
