Nationals 7 Mets 2 The only positive in this evening was the fact the Phillies had the night off. Still, the Mets lost not only the game but another half game from their NL East Division lead. Pedro Martinez was OK — not great, but not bad either — but it didn’t really matter since … Read more
Braves 7 Mets 4 If the Mets played high school rules — seven-inning games — they’d have this NL East title wrapped up. Unfortunately, the games in MLB go nine, which means that every contest is a crapshoot. Oliver Perez spun seven stellar frames, allowing only two runs on four hits and three walks, striking … Read more
Mets 5 Braves 0 The rookie came up big. The sleepy Mets bats woke up in the nightcap, pounding Braves starter and loser JoJo Reyes for four runs in the first two innings.

More than any player, it has been Delgado that has taken advantage of the change in the … Read more
Mets 10 Nationals 8 This is supposed to be the easy part of the schedule. The Mets gave starter Oliver Perez a 2-0 lead, he blew it, then they gave him a 5-2 lead, and he blew that too. In fact, Ollie blew, period, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks in only … Read more
