The Mets deployed their "score at will early, shut down and hang on like hell" strategy, but they pulled this one out in the end, thanks to some outfield assisting--nice throws by Endy and Beltran--and some timely belting by Beltran (no thanks to Ed f**g Rapuano). And Daniel Murphy, of course. The Jon Niese gamble did not work out, as the best you can say about him was that Niese was eminently hittable. A sweep would be amazing, but seems entirely possible, since I don't expect that the Mets will have to solve P Manny Parra at the plate Wednesday night. ...
