Pirates 2, Mets 1 (5-6, 3 GB)

Saturday, April 17, 2004

You're not supposed to lose these types of games, especially in your own park. Steve Trachsel (1-2) pitched very well - the only bad hit he gave up was a solo homer to Jose Castillo. The Pirates added the go-ahead sacrifice fly right after the Mets tied it at 1. After Friday night's debacle, I was really hoping the Mets would be able to bounce back and pound the Pirates. Today the Mets send Jae Seo to the mound in a pretty important early-season game. I was hoping for two out of three (at least) against Pittsburgh. Now they need to get this one today. Then Montreal comes to town for four games. A sweep there would make me forget how bad these last two games were.
