Mets Reds 7/26

We join the Mets ahead 4-0 in the middle of the 3rd. The Carlos Beltran trade watch is still quite active as he's still on the team.

So the Reds take the lead in the bottom of the 5th, and the Mets have an opportunity to take momentum right back with 2nd and 3rd and none out- I was about to wonder with 2 strikes why Jason Pridie doesn't shorten his swing but he hit a 2 rbi double.

Okay, so It's 8-6 good guys going into the bottom of the 9th. The Braves and Bucs are knotted at 3. If the Mets hold on and Pittsburg manages to win that brings the deficit down to 6.5 and with 9 games against Atlanta, suddenly this becomes a manageable thing.
