Just when you thought you have seen it all with the 2009 Mets. For all the pain this season was, if you were watching that meaningless ninth inning and saw Eric Bruntlett boot one ball after another, you knew the Mets were coming back in this game. No fightin' Phillies here- it was role reversal. You got excited for that split second the ball rocketed off Jeff Francoeur's bat- then it landed right in Bruntlett's glove. Playing up the middle to cover second because the runners were on the move, the unassisted triple play he turned lasted a couple of seconds. Stunned.
You would think at this point nothing can hurt anymore. You actually laugh at the performance Oliver Perez put in and actually don't mind a decent outing from Pedro Martinez in his return. But that one stung. I don't know what the Mets or Mets fans did to deserve this, but it was something pretty bad.
