Normally I'd say todays game is the kind of game Johan was traded for and he needs to step up huge, but we all know it doesn't matter. Even if Johan throws a no hitter today, the Mets arent doing better than splitting this series to continue their trend of mediocrity.
Or lets put it another way, if by some shock the Mets actually win this series, they'll get everyone all hyped up figuring with SF and Col up next they'll be sitting in a good spot going into All-star weekend. Instead they would then come home and go 2-4 against those teams putting them right back where they are now.
A sweep one way or the other would be the only thing that would surprise me. |
