After the Mets' dramatic 5-4 win over the Marlins last night, SNY's Gary Cohen hit the nail right on the head. This year's ball club is the "Cardiac Mets." I found it a bit amusing, after I gave Mets reliever Aaron Heilman the nickname "Heart Attack Heilman" earlier in the season.
Last night's game was another chapter in a 2008 season in which a Mets fan never knows what will happen. Down to their final out in the 9th, trailing 2-1, New York loaded the bases for Carlos Beltran, who then hit a monstrous home run to right center at Dolphins Stadium to give the Mets a 5-2 lead.
If there is one thing a Mets fan does know about this '08 campaign, it is that no lead is safe. Enter Luis Ayala for the 9th, two Marlins score, and suddenly the Fish are a base hit away from walking off with a win. Thankfully the Mets got out of it, and with a Phillies loss, New York enters play today with a two game lead in the East.
