Brewers 8 Mets 6 My wife summed it up perfectly: a long game is OK if it’s interesting. But when it’s not, it’s like you had your Saturday night stolen from you. Although there were 14 runs scored, and although the Mets were within 2 runs for the last half of the game, the contest … Read more
Brewers 2 Mets 0 The bad news: the 1969 Mets record of 42 consecutive scoreless innings remains intact. Sorry, no good news. Johan Santana and Yovani Gallardo locked horns in a good old fashioned pitchers’ duel — a real barn-burner of a contest, matching goose eggs for 8 innings. The Mets had a couple of … Read more

Brewers 10 Mets 6 What’s that about self-fulfilling prophecy? The Mets continue to play down to their manager’s (lackluster) expectations, this time getting pummeled by a Brewers team that on paper isn’t really THAT dominating. The Brew Crew — or was it the ghosts of Harvey’s Wallbangers? — pounded out 19 hits and 10 runs … Read more
In a surprise move, Brewers closer Salomon Torres retired from baseball last week. Yeah, we’re a week late here but it takes a while for the pony express to get here from Wisconsin.
