The Mets bullpen rose to the occasion again to give Jonathan Niese the win. The offense scored 7 runs on only 4 hits. A second solid win over the Cubs.
I watched this game at home but in two parts. I saw the first 3 innings live, then we met friends for dinner, watched a 3D Blue Ray of "The Wizard Of Oz" at home, then I watched the rest of the game later that evening. It was pretty neat seeing the Wizard of Oz in 3D. We noticed things that we had not noticed before in the movie. It was good to see the Mets only get four hits and actually win a game big.
