Great Mets-Braves game tonight, and proof positive that you don’t always need a good team to have good baseball games. But having an aggressive team, a team that actually cares, helps an awful lot. Of course, almost any game that ends with the tying run thrown out at the plate is, by definition, a good game.
Maybe the Mets should play Burnitz in center more often, given the grand slam tonight. Then again, it was the defensive switch to Shinjo that made the difference at the end of the game. Either way, it’s an embarrassment to Roger Cedeno to see an aging power hitter covering center while Cedeno is stuck in right.
