The New York Mets return to Queens tomorrow night to face the Phillies in game 3 of the NLDS after splitting the first two in Philadelphia. Tim Healey, who covers the Mets for Newsday, joined Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning to recap the crazy week in Mets land and their seemingly never-ending resilience.
“The Mets are incapable of playing normal games,” Healey told Berman and Riedel following the Mets 7-6 loss on Sunday night that featured a Mark Vientos game-tying home run in the top of the 9th inning. “[Every game] has to be apparently the most gut wrenching, twisty-turny, heartbreaker, week-maker; it’s just an unreal run they’re on.”
Following the Mets’ wild card series win in Milwaukee last week, Healey talked to Mets owner Steve Cohen, and even he’s shocked by his team: “[Cohen said] ‘How this keeps happening I’ll never know, but it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen,’ and I think that’s a great way to put it.”
