Triple Happiness = Mets win, Phillies lose, Yankees lose on the same day.

1. Saturday April 7, 2012
NYM 4, ATL 2
PIT 2, PHI 1
TB 8, NYY 6

2. Sunday April 8, 2012
NYM 7, ATL 5
PIT 5, PHI 4
TB 3, NYY 0

That the Braves lost on these days is an added, special sauce bonus.

Can't remember getting two triple happinesses only three games into the season before.

We used to do Braves loses until the 2007 season when the Phillies began their current streak of NL East titles. Of course, any loss by any NL East opponent accentuates the happiness.

Marlins losing is a big plus as well.

As if on cue, Thick-Legged Heath Bell blew a 3-run save opportunity and handed the game to the Astros this evening.

I keep thinking that this thread is about Hubert H. Humphrey.

Not sure if we're keeping track of this anymore since Philadelphia is in last place but Washington and Atlanta lost last night too (and Miami didn't win) so it was an extra happy night all around.

NY Mets 3, at LA Dodgers 2
Chicago White Sox 4, at NY Yankees 3
Pittsburgh 5, at Philadelphia 4
at Colorado 11, Washington 10
Arizona 3, at Atlanta 2

One of these days I'd like to see the Mets win on the same day Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington lose which I call the Quintet of Unobtainable Joy.

And the Mets brought that last one home.

The additional fun part about all those other games was also how each team lost.

- Yanx, up by 2, lost on 3R HR in the 9th

- Braves led for much of the game but eventually lost on a tie-breaking solo HR in the 9th

- Nationals clawed their way back from a 7-0 hole only to lose 11-10 on a walk-off single in the 11th

- Phils were in a 5-0 hole before they ever came to bat but, after clawing most of the way back, stranded two runners in the 8th plus one more in the 9th to fall short

Each team, except for the Nats, were at home too.
