Wow, a win!: Mets 5, Dodgers 4

So that’s what a win looks like…not that it was easy.  Oiy.  But they all count the same and the Mets need every single one of those.

Ollie Perez was erratic in his first start in two months, but he got the win.  He walked seven guys in five innings.  SEVEN!  Yet he only gave up two runs against a potent offense.  And he was throwing 93 pretty consistently.  So he might not have been very good, but it was a positive step for Ollie.

Daniel Murphy’s play at first was awesome.  I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.  Murphy was also awesome at the plate tonight too.  I said it before and I’ll say it again.  Play him everyday!!  I don’t care if he hits .200.  The Mets are not good and their season is almost definitely over.  Let’s see what Murphy’s got and if he can be an everyday player.  We know what Fernando Tatis is, we don’t know what Murph is yet.

Finally the offense put some hits together for a few runs.  Instead of double plays, they actually got hits.  Nice work!  It was about time.

Good work by Bobby Parnell in the bullpen.  He’s at least looked better lately.  Maybe he can turn it around.

And man K-Rod makes it exciting before getting the job done.  Gary Cohen willed Andre Ethier into that double play by mentioning several times how Ethier hits into a lot of DPs.  Good job Gary!!

We’ll take it.  The Mets can’t seem to ever carry any sort of momentum over from game to game.  This had to be a huge win for this team because they can tell the season is slipping away.  Maybe they can win a few games before the break and not fall eight or nine games out first place.  It’s going to take a nice 3-1 finish to the first half to convince me of anything though.
