I am starting to go with my theory that someone has put a curse on the Mets more and more. All this rain and two double headers in three days. HEX I say its HEX.
John Ricco commented on the fact the Mets have to play another double header tomorrow.
“It’s the home team’s call,” Ricco said. “There’s a lot of rules involved in scheduling. There’s one person on the planet who knows, and that’s [MLB’s] Katy Feeney. It ends up being their call, and this is what worked out for them. Obviously it puts us in a little bit of a tough position, but we’ll be fine. … There’s a lot of factors that come in. Any reschedule there’s issues down the road for both teams. Even though we do play them a couple of more times, there’s issues with their travel at that point. There’s how many games you start playing in a row. You don’t really like to push it to the last series because then if something happens you have nowhere to go. So there are a lot of moving parts that go to it.”
Asked if he thought about the Braves were taking advantage of the Mets’ current issues, Ricco said: “I’m not going to go there. It is what it is. It just puts us in a tough position. I’m not going to start anything with the Braves over this.”
