Nice: Thank You, Russell
Last night, with two outs, the Mets up 2–0, and with Claudio 
Vargas at the plate, the umpire called catcher’s interference on Russell Martin during a swing that produced a ground ball from Vargas that would have ended the inning. Instead, Vargas was rewarded first base and the inning was allowed to continue.
Jose Reyes then followed with a single, Luis Castillo hit an RBI double and David Wright hit a two-run home run to give the Mets a 6-0 lead.
Martin, as quoted by the Associated Press:
“I should have known he has a long swing like that. Take away that blunder that I had, it’s a different ballgame. I take responsibility for that.”
…man, it really is the little things in baseball…i mean, think about it, the Mets won last night, three in a row, we’re talking returned energy, happiness, glee, etc, yet if the Mets do not get that call last night, which was accurate by the way, and then, because the game is closer, end up losing, today is probably a whole different narrative about how the Mets have issues, can’t sustain a winning streak, etc…what a delicate game…
