Cat (ret.)My two cents:
I wouldn't give up on this game just yet. Most blow outs occur because once you get a 7 run lead you face the bottom half of the relief staff for the rest of the day and pile on the runs. The Mets don't have that "luxury" today. They have to pitch anyone and everyone (even starters) to try and stay in this thing.
It's up hill but it's a different situation than a mid-season blow out.
That being said, I am rooting for the Phils since the only player in MLB I know personally is a member of the Phils.
