The Mets went full Ric Flair on the San Francisco Giants tonight, walloping them 13-3<\/a> on Buck Showalter’s birthday. If you missed the game, and judging by how many of you whine about west coast start times on Twitter many of you did, here’s a quick recap:<\/p>\n

Brandon Crawford smacked a two run HR off David Peterson in the bottom of the second, but Peterson was stellar beyond that, only giving up those two runs on three hits and a walk in six innings. The Mets responded immediately in the third. With two outs and a runner on first, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte reached on infield singles before Francisco Lindor popped one up to short left field towards the line. An actual left fielder probably makes that play. A first baseman posing as a left fielder flails at the ball and falls into the netting in left field whild coming close to maiming a fan in the first row of the stands. That’s what Darin Ruf did, as Lindor tied the game. Then came Pete Alonso, who promptly took a curve ball and smacked it into the stands for a three run HR to make it 5-2, and that was pretty much all she wrote.<\/p>\n

The Mets good play this season is, so far, shutting a lot of the LOLMets people up. As the Mets extended their lead on Monday night, they did so quite literally.<\/p>\n
