Mets Update: Game 8 of 2012 Season: Just finished watching Met game this morning. Another great win. So much credit to go around especially David Wright's surprising return with three hits, Jonathan Niese's 6 and two thirds of shut out ball, Lucas Duda's Home Run and Double and the most underrated player of the game---Daniel Murphy and his defense. Two excellent plays by Murphy including probably the most important play of the game in catching David Wright's poorly thrown ball and converting it into an out. Great defense by Tejada as well. Check out the post game quotes from the 6-2 Mets.
On another note, I like Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez so much as announcers that even though I recorded the game, I didn't fast forward very often(even without Keith). I mean Ron Darling is making David Mamet references. Come on, who else does that?
