Braves 7 Mets 6 Anyone else get the feeling of deja vu during this game? The Mets jump out with an early lead, the starting pitcher mows down the opposition, meantime the offense goes to sleep, the bullpen blows the lead, and the Mets lose the game. It’s as if the Mets were following a … Read more
Braves 4 Mets 2 Pedro Martinez wasn’t awful, but he wasn’t great, either, and he didn’t get enough offensive support to make up the difference. The Mets managed just two runs on five hits against starter Jorge Campillo, and were shut out by three Atlanta relievers the rest of the way. Ironically, Pedro drove in … Read more
Mets 9 Braves 5 What a sloppy, annoying game … but in the end the Mets won so who gives a hoot? I apologize, but have little energy for a postgame due to a really bad cold and sinus infection, which makes me cranky and ornery. Or maybe it was seeing a different pitcher for … Read more

If the Mets somehow hold on and make the playoffs, he has a better chance of winning that award than Carlos Delgado has of getting the MVP. Watching Manuel trying to win the division with … Read more
Nationals 1 Mets 0 Mike Pelfrey had one bad inning, the fifth. He walked two and allowed two doubles in that frame, and gave up one run. Otherwise, he was outstanding, pitching seven innings of one-run ball, allowing seven hits, four walks, and striking out four. Unfortunately for Big Pelf, Odalis Perez was slightly better, … Read more
Figures …. only hours after I state the Mets will be fine because the offense can carry the team, the offense goes to sleep. An appropriate video describing the Mets bats lately: The Mets actually won the game that this “fan” attended — the second of Sunday’s doubleheader — so it’s not a perfect fit … Read more
