And the game was not even played at Citi Field.
This one was over in the first inning. Houston was up 3-0, Livan Hernandez was being battered around and then it was the Astros who shot themselves in the foot. A boneheaded play by the third base coach sending the slow-footed Geoff Blum on a base hit short-circuited a bigger inning. Then Underpants got caught stealing second. The Mets had life and they actually took advantage. Livan went from one step out of the rotation, not making it out of the first inning, to a solid 7 inning effort for the win. Aside from that bottom of the first inning (before the last two outs), the Mets actually looked good in this game.

Texas still loves a former Met who was on our opening day roster:
Darren O'Day. He continues to impress. Amazing the club got him off waivers earlier this season. The Mets have to be regretting that.
