At least, it felt like that didn’t it? The truth is there weren’t that many Giants fans at Citi Field, but the Mets fans had very little to cheer about. There were a lot of isolated groupings of Giants fans, and pretty much all of 302 in the Pepsi Porch was loud and cheering, as well as a group behind the visitor’s dugout. The few times the Mets fans did get some chants going when the game was still tied, the Giants fans were drowned out.
Initially we boo’d, or Lets Go Mets’d, over the Giants cheering, but by the end of the game a lot of people had left and we were cold and there just wasn’t anything to cheer for. Cowbell Man seemed awfully pitiful with very few people joining in.
The game was cold, it felt like April, or San Francisco. Even with the Giants and Tim Lincecum on the mound, it felt like a poor showing of fans. Mets Police did a little digging and found that a local bar sponsored a Giants Fan trip to Citi Field. If the Mets continue to flounder I imagine you can expect more of these types of events becoming affordable for groups.
I’m tired of Willie Harris. He hit two double play balls and failed to even get a sacrifice in a key spot. He’s quickly approaching Gary Matthews Jr levels and I hope he’s quickly off this team. I know some have soured on Jason Bay, but this game would’ve been a lot different if he’d been in the lineup. I don’t begrudge him the paternity leave, but the Mets missed him.
In all three games against the Cy Young award winners lately I felt like the Mets have done a good job, but really they failed to get the big hit when it matter. Key walks, singles and long AB to drive up pitch counts are nice and all, but if you don’t capitalize, it’s all for naught. I really miss Johan Santana. Get well soon Johan.
Still, Tim Lincecum is quite good. 
I do feel like the Mets will win the finale. I sense a seven inning Pelfrey performance in which he gives up merely two runs on a double after a walk and a hit. Izzy, K-Rod, game over. 5-2 Mets.
