Mets 9 Marlins 2 The D-Train was finally derailed. Since bursting on the scene in 2003, Dontrelle Willis has been the Mets’ #1 nemesis. Prior to this game, Willis was 11-2 career with an ERA around 2.00 against the Mets. Also prior to the game, D-Train was one of the NL’s hottest pitchers, with a … Read more
Mets 8 Phillies 1 The New York Mets brought the broom to Citizen’s Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia and swept their series against the Phillies. OK, so it was only a one-game series, but it’s still a sweep ! Once again, Tom Glavine did not have his best stuff, but used his veteran guile to gut … Read more

Phillies 5 Mets 2 What a frustrating, disgusting loss. First, Oliver Perez crapped his pants. Then, the Mets offense can only muster four hits in eight innings against journeyman slop thrower Adam Eaton and Antonio Alfonseca, whose only remarkable attribute is the fact that he has eleven fingers. You can’t put the entire blame on … Read more
Mets 11 Phillies 5 Big Mouth Rollins Boots the Ball It was Jimmy Rollins who shot off his mouth early in spring training, claiming that his Phillies were the “team to beat” in the NL East. And, it was Jimmy Rollins who botched a routine double-play ball in the bottom of the 8th to allow … Read more
Braves 3 Mets 2 In 2006, it took three months for the Mets to lose a three-game series. This year, a very different story — perhaps indicative of the fact that 2007 will be no cakewalk for the Mets.
