What better way to honor our servicemen on Memorial Day than with a comeback Mets victory in the bottom of the 9th? This team just refuses to lose the opening game of a home series. That's now 13 in a row dating back to last year and 10 so far this year. Floyd bombs one in the sixth giving the Mets a 5-4 lead, then some added insurance by jose Valentin, also another bomb shot into the lodge section. But Heilman can't hold it and gives up a 3 run homer to Chad Tracy. Who is Chad Tracy? More like Dick Tracy! But Endy Chavez starts it off in the 9th with a leadoff double, Reyes gets him home with a single to left center, Lo Duca single drives Reyes to third and the Diamondbacks have nothing left to do but walk Beltran to load them up for Delgado who promptly strikes out but David Wright nearly slams it home, with a 405-foot single to center. Team is starting to get their legs and are right around the corner from running away with this division!

Deja vu? Trachsel did not pitch a very good game, but the Mets tied it in the ninth, and guess who ended it: David Wright, with another flyball to deep center. MVP! MVP! MVP!
Please note:
We're looking for your comments about this specific
game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the
current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team.
Such comments, unless in the context of
this particular game,

Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!
