my dubious streak continues

Game 17: Braves 9, Mets 6
12-5 for the season

the best I can say about this game is that the Mets continue to lose when I don't watch the game. I was teaching through tonight's game, and so was only upset in retrospect by the blowing of the 3-run lead that the bullpen pulled off in this game.

one always needs to look on the bright side: aside from the extraordinary hitting that ARod is doing for the Yanks right now, they were just swept by the Red Sox and continue to struggle so mightily from pitching trouble that even ARod finally hitting like he's always been able to hit isn't saving them.
