A quote that TBS/Braves announcer Chip Caray made at the end of the 8th inning in tonight's 11-1 blowout of division rivals Atlanta Braves. The Mets continued to get stellar starting pitching, this time from Oliver Perez, and exploded for 6 runs in the 8th inning to send most of the Atlanta home crowd opener scurrying for the exits in the unusually cold Georgia night.
Yes......I am an ardent Mets fan......and yes.....only four games have been played.....but.....after the beatdown of the team that denied them a World Series spot last year, this opening game against a rival that had plans on challenging the Mets for first place was still highly gratifying to watch. The fact that the pitching was excelled while the offense has exploded is a lovely thing to witness (don't forget the defense, the Mets have done very well so far, while they also tallied three more unearned runs in this game). Thank you TBS for showing the stat that the Mets haven't trailed all year.......a jinx for Saturday's nationally televised game, though doubtless to soon be corrected.
