Game 33 Very Happy Recap

This was a true team win, as the Mets were down big, but once again continued to fight and claw, and battled back to win 8-6, and it could've been even more if Ike Davis didn't miss a grand slam by a matter of inches.

The good:

• The bullpen was terrific, especially Takahashi, Valdes and K-Rod.
• D Wright and J Bay combined for 6 hits. Exactly what the middle of the order needed to do
• C Carter did what he does, HIT, and comes through with a double in his only at-bat.

• What's even better than that, is that he brought Hulkamania to Citi Field as his entrance song was "I'm a Real American"... AWESOME
• Rod Barajas hit another clutch double even though it was terribly misplayed by "LF" Josh Willingham
• As I alluded to above, Ike Davis CRUSHED a ball to the 2nd deck but it was inches foul, just missing a grand slam in the 8th inning.
• Ike Davis also made another web gem, diving over the dugout rail to end the game
• Hope Fernando Tatis enjoyed his "grab"
• Loved K-Rod's response (laughing and pure joy)

 The Bad

• J Niese was brutal, lasting 4 1/3 innings and allowing six runs and 10 base runners.
• He needs to fix his mechanics to stay on top of the ball and get back to throwing his signature curve-ball effectively.
