Mets Game 2: Loss to Marlins

April 8, 2010 by Joe Janish

Marlins 7 Mets 6 So much for the afterglow. The Mets were removed from the top of the NL East in a game that was so poorly played by the Marlins, it resembled a high school JV contest. For six innings, it didn’t appear as though the Mets had much of a chance to win. … Read more

Where They Are Now: Yusmeiro Petit

November 5, 2009 by Joe Janish

yusmeiro-petit Remember Yusmeiro Petit? About 4-5 years ago, he was ranked as highly as #2 among the Mets prospects by Baseball America, who were impressed by his ability to throw 4 pitches over the plate. As a 21-year-old, Petit whipped through AA, posting a 9-3 record and 2.92 ERA for the Binghamton Mets — striking out 130 batters in 118 innings, walking only 18, and holding opposing hitters to a .209 AVG. He was a sure-fire back-end starter at worst, and some believed he’d eventually develop into a #2 or #3.

Mets Game 156: Win Over Marlins

September 27, 2009 by Joe Janish

Mets 4 Marlins 0 Payback’s a beach … It wasn’t quite as dramatic as the Marlins’ extinguishing of the Mets’ playoff chances at the end of the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but this game more or less put the kibosh on Florida’s shot at the Wild Card. Patrick Misch used magic, voodoo, smoke, and mirrors … Read more

Mets Game 155: Loss to Marlins

September 26, 2009September 26, 2009 by Joe Janish

Marlins 9 Mets 6 A ninth-inning rally closed the gap, but the game really wasn’t that close. John Maine was OK through the first four frames, then the wheels came off in the fifth. By the time he exited, his line was: 4 2/3 IP, 7 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K. We’ll just … Read more

Game 154: Win Over Marlins

September 26, 2009 by Joe Janish

Mets 6 Marlins 5 If this were 1960, the season would be over — and the Mets would have finished on a high note. Instead, we have eight more games to muddle through, and can only hope our favorite team can keep the excitement quotient at this level. Through the first four frames, it looked … Read more

Mets Game 140: Loss to Marlins

September 11, 2009 by Joe Janish

Marlins 13 Mets 4 The sweepless series streak comes to an end — at the fins of the Fish, no less. Bobby Parnell struggled from the get-go, yet hung around long enough to allow 6 runs (5 earned) on 7 hits and 5 walks in 5 innings. He did strike out 6, so there’s that. … Read more

Mets Game 139: Loss to Marlins

September 9, 2009 by Joe Janish

Marlins 6 Mets 3 The carriage that transported Pat Misch from Buffalo to Flushing turned into a pumpkin. Misch allowed four runs in the first frame, and five runs total in six innings, to trounce the sugar-plum dreams of Mets fans who thought he might be the next Jamie Moyer. Though, he does resemble this … Read more

Mets Game 138: Loss to Marlins

September 8, 2009 by Joe Janish

Marlins 4 Mets 2 Tim Redding is trending back to the mean. Redding followed up two straight stellar, near-seven-inning starts with a more typical 5-inning, 100-pitch, four-run effort against the Fish. In other words, an average outing for the Rochester righthander. Two two-run homers — one by Hanley Ramirez and the other by Cameron Maybin … Read more
