Video: Tired Mets, Manuel’s Post Game
…the thing with last night’s game is that the Mets just looked so sloppy…i mean, it was among the most sloppy games they had played all year…guys were making physical errors, like Carlos Delgado, mental errors like Damion Easley and Luis Castillo not covering a bag, bad pitches, bad swings, temper tantrums, etc., and it was just ugly…
…my hope is that after a long, drawn out, emotional day, on which they witnessed the end of an era, so to speak, that maybe the team was just drained…which is understandle…the key, though, is that it is over…and it’s time to move on…
Jerry Manuel, speaking to reporters after the game, said:
“We didn’t play good baseball. We looked very tired. I know I was tired. They looked tired. Maybe they were going through what I was going through…Hopefully now the cloud is lifted, we can get back to playing baseball. We’ve got a good team. We’ve got some good players. It’s all a matter of us getting on the same page and doing the things that we need to do to win. We’ll be okay. Sometimes good pitching can make you look that way.”
