Squawker Lisa, what happened to your jinx when we went to Friday night’s Subway Series game? Did you “misremember” it, to use a word associated with last night’s losing pitcher?
And after your criticism of Ike Davis for hoping the Mets could just get a victory, Ike had as much to do with anyone as to why the Mets got the win, with his three-run homer.
As much as I enjoyed last night’s game, I did not enjoy the ninth inning. Frank Francisco is at best a serviceable closer who has no business shooting off his mouth. When he put two Yankees on in the ninth with the heart of the order coming up, I was dreading the game headline “FRANCISCO LAYS AN EGG.”
Instead, everything went the Mets’ way for a change. Davis’ ball barely made it over the wall, Jon Niese gave up two homers but still got the win and Francisco got out of the jam he got himself in.
Lisa, you like to say that when the Mets win, I do the Snoopy Dance. But last night, it was the chicken dance!
