Poetic Justice for Matsui, and the Mets

One of the pleasures of last night’s wild-card playoff game was Kaz Matsui’s fine performance. He started the Rockies’ rally in the bottom of the 13th, getting a double off Trevor Hoffman. A couple years ago, Matsui was run out of New York on a rail. Maybe deservedly. He was a showboat when he came to the Mets. Now he’s chastened, and a pro. Meanwhile the Mets played like spoiled, entitled jerks. Poetic justice that he’s going to the post-season, and not his former team. (Though personally I was pulling for former Met Mike Cameron, and the Padres…)
