Mets 5, Giants 4 - Rest of Series to Feature Actual Circus Clowns

"Hey this was fun, we should just do this every time."

Oh man, my friends, there is way too much chicanery coming out of this game to fit into one post, especially when you consider that the author spent 95% of the game watching it from a far corner of a bar with the sound off, and the final 5% driving around (and actually out of the car when the game-winning event actually occurred).  

However, I saw perfectly when Ruben Tejada and Captain Kirk absolutely refused to catch the ball that would have ended the game, allowing the tying run to score (conjuring awful, just hideous memories of the Luis Castillo incident), and figured that the season was over.  Thankfully, the Giants were in a giving mood, and handed the game right back to even up the series at a game apiece and bring the Mets back to two games above .500.  

Absolutely lost in all of these shenanigans is that DON'T LOOK NOW, but Mike Pelfrey is doing some things, in this case throwing eight innings of one-run ball, and has an ERA in the low 3's.  What in heaven's name is going on?  I expect he will allow 15 dingers in his next start (5 to Jose Reyes).
