Switch to the Mets?

I'm weighing going to the Met game now or sticking with the Braves & Marlins from Atlanta and then tuning in the Met game. Quite a few talking points in this game, particularly Bobby Cox's decision to stick with his starter, Jair Jurrjens, despite the fact he's given up 5 runs in 4 1/3 and has runners on the corner with one out. Met fans would be screaming bloody murder if Willie made a decision like that.

Ricky Nolasco's pitching for Florida and he helped his own cause with a single after Freddy Gonzalez took the bunt off. The single was a key hit in a 4 run inning that gave Florida the lead.

Florida's defense is just awful, but they hit a lot of homers. Second in the league with 87 home-runs.

{Gonzalez went to the well once too often as Nolasco hit into an inning ending DP and killed off the threat they had going when I first started typing this post. Two minutes later and Atlanta has the lead again thanks to a two-run homer by Brian McCann. Joy over, time for the Mets.}
