Morning Briefing: Mets Fall In Second Exhibition Game Versus Yankees

Good Morning, Mets fans!

In what’s become an evergreen statement, the Mets didn’t do well yesterday.

Corey Oswalt had his moments in the first three innings, but once he was removed in the fourth, Drew Smith and Chasen Shreve combined to allow feet worth of quarter-mile worth of home runs. Mets were blown out by the Yankees: 6-0

Nevertheless, it feels good to write about live baseball games, again.
