Flashback: R.A. Dickey & Mets Get Out of a 2011 Inning

We are in the thick of the 2013 Hot Stove season, with the Mets wheelin' and dealin' trying to improve this ball club.

This Monday morning, however, I want to start randomly taking a look at some clips I've taken over the years that I took way too long to go through and randomly turn into a clip on Youtube.

I don't know how often I'll do this, but the point behind it is that even in the losing seasons, the years people keep saying have been tough on Mets fans, are still indeed worth it. In this game of baseball, there's always memories that will last a lifetime. Even though the overall record was not ideal, the little details, the little moments, are still so awesome to soak up.

Enjoy this little clip of R.A. Dickey and the 2011 New York Mets.

And enjoy your week as well.

Mets vs. Houston, Wednesday, April 20, 2011; 4-3 Loss

This was an interesting game, the last of a 7-game losing streak where Fred Wilpon mouthed off about his team to a New Yorker reporter (I appreciate his fandom, but come on, Fred, you should be smarter than that). The Mets could have won this game, much in the same way they could have won many of their losses over the last several years. RA didn't have it at the beginning but settled down to pitch into the 8th, unfortunately giving up the 4th run in that 8th on a homer. 

Baserunning blunders led to the demise of the Mets. Mistakes of this caliber are what made last year such a transitional year, and with the bullpen upgrade and tighter ball-play, this 2012 team should be better than their 85-loss counterparts. That's been the difference between winning and losing for the Mets. What I like about Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson is that they don't seem to have tolerance for the kind of play from this game (hence why Angel Pagan has been traded out of the building, one of the base-running perpetrators from this contest). 

It's all going to be alright, folks. Better days ahead.
