In the strictest sense it was the worst kind of loss for the Mets. When you not only fail to cash in on a night Oliver Perez delivers some rare brilliance, but give the game away with some horrendous relief pitching, April somehow feels like those infamous Septembers past. Yes, the 4-3 loss to the Cardinals Friday night felt ominous, to say the least, especially for a team desperately trying to stave off an early-season crisis and the manager watch that would come with it. Then again, if Perez's performance was somehow a sign of things to come, that might turn out be more significant than the late-inning heartbreak. |
