Mets win game 3. They've won the first 3 games by a combined score of 18-3. The 3 runs the Rockies scored were in the FIRST INNING of the FIRST GAME. The Mets have scored 18 unanswered runs. Wow, this team is on a roll right now. Here's to hoping they make me wrong, and keep this roll going at 7pm tonight.
