NY Post Met Rally just a tease: Too little too late leaves 'em 13 1/2 back: "Despite a three-run ninth inning on Fireworks Night, and six scores in the final three frames, the Mets fell short in a crushing 9-8 loss to Philadelphia. Most of the tantalized but ultimately disappointed 49,424 fans at Shea stayed for the postgame show, but the Mets were long gone down the Grand Central knowing they’d blown a chance to build momentum...D’Amico lost his vaunted curveball and lost the game, giving up eight hits and five earned runs in five innings to fall to 4-8."
