It might have been totally by luck and not at all by design, but when Matt Adams laid bat to ball and went against the shift to bring home a run on an opposite field single in the first inning to make it 2-0, I really should have taken that as my first hint that things were not going to go all that well on Friday.
But that thought was pushed to the recesses of my mind, tucked well behind the litany of horrible Mets losses as they scored six runs in the fifth inning to make it 8-2. Robinson Cano had two hits, including a leadoff home run, and the Mets scored four runs with two outs on a bases loaded walk to Michael Conforto, a two run double by Yoenis Cespedes, and a single by Cano. The biggest itch on the Mets was clutch hitting, and it was soothed for the moment by a good dose of calamine lotion.
But then the bottom of the fifth came, and the Mets almost gave it all back.
