Mariners 11 Mets 0 It was “one of those nights” for Oliver Perez. As in, Mr. Hyde showed up on the mound instead of Dr. Perez. By the fifth inning, it was 6-zip, and the Mets offense showed no interest in working the count on knuckleballer R.A. Dickey — despite manager Jerry Manuel’s big proclamation … Read more
Mariners 5 Mets 1 Soooo …. Johan Santana pitches seven innings, allows one earned run, and Felix Hernandez leaves the game in the fifth due to an injury. If you were to guess, which team would win?

Mets 3 Rockies 1 For the second consecutive game, Jose Reyes led off the game with a triple and eventually scored to put the Mets ahead 1-zip. This time, however, the Mets held up the lead.

After all, they have championship talent on their roster, which had been impinged for the last 170 games by the follies of Willie Randolph. Now that Willie “Roadblock” Randolph has been removed, this team should be beating the … Read more
Mets 9 Angels 6 It would appear that Willie Randolph has his job for another day. Perhaps his coaching staff will remain intact for at least another 24 hours as well.
