The Mets find new ways to lose



The New York Mets have probably had one of the strangest seasons in MLB history from dropping fly balls to lose games, endless errors, and a disabled list that might be longer than the current health care bill.

Well, yesterday they found a way to lose a game that has not been done since 1925. They lost on an unassisted triple play. The score in the bottom of the 9th was 9-7 in favor of the Phillies however the Mets had two men on base with no outs.

Then Jeff Francoeur stepped to the plate and lined a ball that landed in Phillies infielder Jason Bartlett's glove where he subsquently recorded the final two outs. Yep, that's the Mets season in a nutshell and I guess not even the new Citi Field cannot make the loss look any better.

In Today's edition of the Moment of Zen, most people would say that the Pittsburgh Pirates have had a rough go at it for the past couple years.

However, the Pirates turned a triple play Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds in impressive fashion started by short stop Jack Wilson.

The bad news for the Pirates was that Reds pitcher Aaron Harang allowed only three hits and the Pirates ended up losing 2-0.
