Retweet of the Day - July 17, 2013

New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey (7-2, 2.35 ERA, 147 Ks) started for the National League in last night's 2013 MLB All-Star Game. Harvey has been a shining bright light in what has been yet another otherwise dark and dismal Mets season.

Harvey has 15 quality starts out of 19 starts this season. One of his two losses was in a game in which Harvey pitched seven innings and only gave up one run. Most of Harvey's starts this year have resulted in no-decisions. While he has been lights out, the Mets are one of the worst hitting teams in baseball. If your team can't get you a lead, even a small one, befreo you leave the game, you don't get the win. It's that simple.

Today's retweet is yet another zinger from Not Bill Walton (@NotBillWalton), who is becoming a Retweet of the Day regular:

"To Matt Harvey, tonight was just like any other game. And just like any other game, Matt Harvey will leave with a no decision."

Harvey struck out three American League batters in two innings pitched in his home stadium at Citi Field.
