Has it come to this already?

Mike Piazza doubles home Kaz Matsui to give the Mets a second run for the first time in what seems like an eternity, as well as the lead over the Expos. No sooner does Matsui cross the plate when my cell phone rings. It's friend, occasional comment contributor and eternal pessimist, Trendon:

Me: Hello...

Trendon: They're still going to blow it.

Shortly after our conversation ended Mike Cameron doubled in Vance Wilson for the Mets' third run.

The Mets got the inning started with a walk by Kaz and a single by Karim Garica. Both came off Expos left-hander Chad Bentz, who, like Jim Abbott, was born with a deformed right hand and pitches and catches with his left hand. Now, if I'm being overly-sensitive about this I'll shut up, but is it just me or is the title of this recent ESPN.com article just not cool?:

Bentz may be a one-handed catch for Expos
