Mets Mount Comeback
Jose Reyes hits his second home run of the game, a three run shot in the ninth to close the score to 10-6 in favor of the Nationals. The Mets have a runner at first with one out as Washington goes to their closer.
Update: Wright singles off Cordero to put runners on first and second with one out.
Update: Beltran walks to load the bases. Alou represents the tying run at the plate.
Update: Delgado strikes out. For some reason, the pinch-runner Chavez was running, and he steals third as Zimmerman trips over third catching the ball so he can't apply the tag. Lo Duca flies out to left to end the game, and Washington survives to win 10-9.
The Mets magic number goes down to four with the Phillies loss.
Update: Unbelievable Mikey! Alou picks up his fourth hit of the game, a double to the wall in left. The outfielders were playing him to pull, so by the time they get to the ball, the bases are cleared. The Mets are down one, 10-9 with a runner on second and one out. What an amazing comeback!

It strikes me that this Mets game is sorta a microcosm of Atlanta's September: a bunch of poor play followed by an impressive flurry at the end that is ultimately futile.
Another quintessential September '07 Mets game. It says something about your pitching staff when you can't put together even a .500 record down the stretch while getting a level of offensive production that is unprecedented in team history. All the pitching staff needed to be was godawful, and they haven't even managed to achieve that level of distinction.
