Thankfully I Fell Asleep On This One

The game was 4-4 when I fell asleep but the Mets ended losing to the Rockies 6-5 in 13. I’m glad I fell asleep. There were mistakes by Jose Reyes and Willie Randolph and another elderly Mets player (Marlon Anderson) got hurt, so it was a typical day in Metsland.
