Padres 2 Mets 1 So much for last week. The Mets are back to … well, I try not to use expletives, as this is a family-friendly blog. The Mets blew another one, making Randy Wolf look like Sandy Koufax. Wolf is not that good — the Mets’ hitters “approach” is godawful. Witness: second inning, … Read more
Padres 2 Mets 1 Who knew this would turn out to be a pitchers’ duel? The unlikely combination of Mike Pelfrey and Josh Banks traded zeroes through six innings, each giving up only one run before exiting the ballgame. Banks was more efficient than Big Pelf, throwing only 71 pitches to Pelf’s 112. However, they … Read more
Mets 5 Giants 3 A nice win for the Mets, and a reassuring performance from John Maine. The Mets jumped out to a three-run lead on Matt Cain in the initial inning, courtesy of a booming double by Carlos Beltran and an RBI single from Carlos Delgado that scored Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Beltran. … Read more

Unfortunately, he managed only one out and left a 6-0 deficit behind him as he walked into the dugout in the first inning. While I have been very pleased with the spirit, … Read more
Mets 6 Dodgers 1 This time, the Mets didn’t need to come from behind late in the game. Instead, they took an early lead and held it. The Dodgers got on the board first, as Juan Pierre led off the game with a bloop double and scampered home a few moments later on a Matt … Read more
Mets 3 Dodgers 2компютри втора употреба I’m starting to believe that the Mets are becoming the team we’ve been dying to see for over a year. The New York Mets — OUR New York Mets — came from behind AGAIN to steal a win away from the Los Angeles Dodgers. There was life, there was … Read more
Dodgers 9 Mets 5 I absolutely refuse to blame Aaron Heilman for this game. Rather, it is the fault of Willie Randolph / a.k.a. “Bill R”. The Mets led 5-4 going into the top of the 8th, and Pedro Feliciano had pitched a scoreless 7th. However, because lefthanded-hitting Juan Pierre was leading off, Feliciano was … Read more
