Prediction for tonight's game (I hope I'm wrong):
Maine throws well, and the Mets take a one-or-two-run lead. But the Nats work the count every at-bat, so that Maine hits 100 pitches with one out in the sixth and a runner on second. Rather than let Maine work his way out of the jam (he's still got good velocity on his fastball), Willie brings in his new toy, Wise. Wise proceeds to issue a walk and gives up a two run double before getting out of the inning with the Mets tied or a run behind. Willie starts the seventh with Heliman, who implodes as is his wont, giving up a string of baserunners and several runs before Willie finally takes him out to a chorus of boos. Joe Smith comes in and gets a righty or two out, then gives way to Feliciano, who lets the runners he inherited from Heilman score. By this time the Mets are four or five runs down, they score one more the rest of the way, and lose their second straight to the Nats.
Sound familiar?
