The Mets were hammered in their series opener against Miami on Friday night, but quite honestly, nobody really cared.

Game recap September 19: A Very September Game
Well, it finally happened. For the first time all season, the Mets lost a series to the Phillies. The Mets were able to avoid Philadelphia when they were at they were in their June swoon.

Game recap July 27: Deep Freese
David Freese will forever be a known name in Mets lore after his strikeout completed Johan Santana’s 2012 no-hitter, but on Friday night, the veteran extracted a little bit of revenge against the boys in orange and blue.
