Mets were put through the hoops by the Braves at Citi Field last night as they deviated from the road of recovery to carom off the wall of jubilation, the previous night, into the ditch of total loss as Martin Prado exerted himself in the twelfth! 14 May 2009 Atlanta Braves 8 New York Mets 7
How brief the life of stardom is in baseball when the storm gathers its forces and the fans vociferously condemn their stars' performances on the field of playing. Indeed, the need to perform in every single game put an awful lot of pressure on Major League Baseball players but the good thing is that they are all cut from the same cloth and somehow, most of them, they deal successfully with that pressure. Nevertheless, Mets' opening hurler, Jon Niese, was in still-troubled waters last night as he allowed the Braves five runs and seven hits in four innings. Stokes, Parnell, Putz, Rodriguez, Green, Feliciano and Takahasi all made an attempt to quell the fury of the tribe unsuccessfully but it was Braves' first baseman, Martin Prado, who dispatched the last arrow of the contest in the top of the twelfth inning as he hit a gargantuan homer off Ken Takahashi to put the game virtually beyond the Mets. Fernando Tatis and Gary Sheffield also went over the fence for the Mets, the former hit a grand slam off Braves' thrower Buddy Carlyle in the fourth inning and the latter hit a solo homer off Braves' pitcher Rafael Soriano in the eighth inning but it was not good enough for the New Yorkers to emerge victorious. Final score: Atlanta 8 Mets 7.P. Figueras
