Almost wanted him to fail badly for playoff roster reasons.

Howry's actually been okay most of September

He hasn’t given up a run since the 4-run, no-out debacle on the 9/4.

Theriot got lucky there

with a good throw he’d be out by a mile

That throw wasn’t great.

True.

Yet another reason to dislike them.

I’m really enjoying the long faces on the Mets fans. Serves ’em right.

That said, I want them to win this weekend while we beat the Brewers so we can play them again next week.
