Phillies 4 Mets 2 Albert Einstein once said “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” If we agree that is true, is there anyone who disagrees that Willie Randolph must be committed? All I want to know is why, why, why was Tom Glavine removed … Read more
Phillies 9 Mets 2 The final score shows seven runs between the victors and the losers, and it wasn’t even that close. The Phillies did their usual thing: score a boatload of runs. The scary thing is, they were scoring like the Philadelphia Eagles BEFORE Chase Utley came off the DL. Now with Utley back … Read more
Dodgers 6 Mets 2 What began as a promising game for John Maine ended a disappointment. Maine pitched well through the first four innings, showing excellent poise in the fourth by working out of a tough jam (men on first and third with no outs).

Padres 7 Mets 5 Sometimes it’s simply not your night. Jake Peavy gave up only two runs in six innings, and struck out 11, but he wasn’t entirely dominating. The Mets reached him for two runs on five walks and two hits, and nearly busted the game open in the third, loading the bases with … Read more
Mets 7 Padres 6 Ladies and gentlemen, Carlos Beltran has entered the building. Continuing the hot hitting on the road that made him the NL player of the week, Beltran was a one-man wrecking crew, driving in five runs with three hits, including a laser-beam double and an opposite-field homerun, to lead the Mets over … Read more
