Interesting stat from Gary indicating that Delgado's problems are not just one of those things - 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position for the first time in his career. And he just broke it with a single. 1-0 Mets.
Here's a thought: How about having Wright hit behind Delgado? Like, Reyes, Lo Duca, Beltran, Delgado, Wright, Green? Delgado might get some better pitches to hit, and Wright could steal more freely I would think. Thoughts/
Wright HAS been hitting behind Delgado, and he still hasn't done shit. Lo Duca with a nice GIDP there.
Figures. Cohen talks about how Betemit hasn't been hitting all year, BAM, there's a home run. Cool. Matt Kemp. Back to Back.
And there goes the tie. # 7 & 8 hitters go yard on back-to-back pitches, and once again the Mets blow a lead.
And that's three HRs on three pitches, with the pitcher being third. Anyone want to argue that the Mets aren't cursed?
