Mets vs. Teams Not Playing For Much Update

Yes, the Dodgers haven't quite sewn up best record yet but if they really needed the game would they take out their leading Cy Young candidate after 90 pitches for a pinch hitter with one out in the 8th? Lugo (as usual) easily dealt with the PH and it took them three relievers (who they do need to get ready) to blow it in the 8th (rather pathetically -- two hit batters and a walk let a Mets PH clear the bases, helped by a dubious non-strike call). Mets three back from the Cubs, still longshots. One more vs. Dodgers, ten vs. scrubs and three vs. the "let's rest for the playoffs" Braves. I'm sorta done. Mets "ending strong" not my thing.

Update: Karma. Via a balk/wild pitch (8th) and simply Lugo giving up a run (9th), Mets lose on Sunday. Four back. Bills beat the Giants, again looking bad. Just play the damn kid QB.
