I don't feel that prime time games have been very kind to the Mets - or the Jets for that matter - in recent years.

Runner on 3rd (and 1st) none out ... and not a single ball out of the infield.

We can complain about the pitching woes all we want but our RA/G is right around MLB avg while the RS/G is considerably below.
