Philosophy 101

The Mets continued struggles with men in scoring position (2 for 18 tonight against Washingtn and 13 men left on base) got me thinking:

If you're in scoring position, and you're a Met, are you really in a position to score? Or are you just in a position to eventually make me mad?

RIPTEMMM, if you're scoring at home.

Because the way I see it these days, if you're a Met and you're in a true position to score, you're already standing on the plate. In which case, every RISP scored tonight.

And if you are a Met, you probably want to thank Johan Santana (again) for another hide saving outing. The best way to do this is to not make every game he pitches a must win.
