Last night's game against the Atlanta Braves was part of my 20-game package. I was planning to go, but at 5 PM, light rain started. We watched SNY, which reported at 6:30 that the game had been delayed due to weather. Just after 7 PM, it started to pour. At that point, I decided not to go since I didn't want to sit in a wet ballpark during a rain delay. Finally, the game began at 8:45. I watched the game until 10 PM as the Mets were ahead 6-0. I watched the news and went to sleep. When I woke up I found out that the Mets lost 11-6. David Peterson, the Mets' most reliable pitcher, gave up 6 runs while the bullpen gave up the remaining 5.
The game ended at about midnight. I wouldn't have arrived home until 1 AM, so it was just as well that I didn't go to the game. On TV, the stands were pretty full, so I guess people came and waited out the rain delay. Now the Mets have lost 12 out of their last 14 games and are continuing to sink. I blame David Stearns, President of Baseball Operations, for poor free agent signings and umpteen unnecessary roster moves.
The worst Met game I ever attended was a 21-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves in 2023.
