Double Header Split; Win 7-0, Lose 4-2

7-0 WIN
Everything went right in this game. The Mets scored 5 runs in an inning for the first time since probably 2006, Angel Berroa (OMG) hit a 2 run double, and Johan was vintage Johan, going 7 scoreless. 4 out of his last 5 starts have lasted 7 innings, and he has given up 2 runs once, 0 3 times. Even Tim Redding pitched a scorless inning. Jerry Manuel wasn't stupid.
Clutch Play of the Day: Angel Berroa 2 run double in the 2nd. +10.6% WPA
4-2 Loss
Everything I just said about Jerry Manuel is false. He is stupid. He is the most stupid person ever. Jonathon Niese had been pitching well threw 5, and increased the Rockies scoreless streak to 27 innings. However, in the 6th inning, he gave up a run, to tie the game 1-1, walked 2, threw 21 pitches, and was lucky that Spilbourghs got thrown out stealing second. So, seeing as the bullpen has been well rested, you would think the Mets would go to the bullpen. No, Jerry does not do that. So, Niese gives up a double to the pitcher, the effing pitcher, that Pagan misplayed. Jerry, he just gave up a double to the pitcher, are you going to take him out? No, so the next batter lines a ball down the line that Tatis makes an unbelieveable catch on. So, Jerry. 2 hard hit balls this inning, are you going to the 'pen? Nope. He gives up a 2 run homer to Barmes. Then a single to Helton. Finally, Jerry gets him, and brings in Stokes, who gives up a triple to Tulowitzki, but then get an inning ending DP. The first batter of the 7th (Tatis) hits a homer. So we could've been up 2-1, but instead we lose 4-2. Jerry Lost this game
Stupid Decision of the Day: Jerry not pulling Niese after 6. This is a loss on Jerry. Also, Angel Pagan getting thrown out in the first after Castillo went to second. You can't hesitate Pagan, once the throw goes down, you have to go, you can't have any indecision, because the cost is too great. 1st and 3rd, no outs, and we get 0 runs.
Random Thought of the Day: Citi Field is really hard to hit a homer out of. How many times did the Mets reach the warning track? The ball seeemed to die at 410.
Clutch Play of the Game: Fernando Tatis homer in the 7th. +9.3% WPA.
Up Next for the Mets: start of a 4 game series with offensively challenged Arizona.
Livan Hernandez (7-5 4.87 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 5.45 tRA) looks to pitch like he did in his last start. He'll Face
Doug Davis (5-10 3.76 ERA, 4.33 FIP, 5.01 tRA)
