Phillies 3 Mets 0 The only silver lining in this atrocious series vs. the Phils is that, if Philadelphia completes the sweep on Thursday afternoon, they’ll STILL be 11 games behind. Journeyman Lieber shut out the Mets on five hits, in easily his best performance in four years. Tom Glavine continued his winless streak; after … Read more
Phillies 11 Jose Reyes 4 Ugh, again. I wish Jay Horwitz would have mentioned that this would be the week that the Mets’ starting pitchers would be replaced by the winners of the “Pros vs. Joes” show. I would have made plans to be out of the country. The least they could have done was … Read more
Phillies 13 Mets 0 Ugh. Pedro gives up six runs in the first inning, Darren Oliver does one better in a hair under four innings of relief, and the Mets offense garners a lousy four hits (three singles) against a 22-year-old. What’s worse, is Pedro left the game due to a “tight” calf. So now … Read more
Mets 3 Nationals 1 Yesterday, a Mets’ relief pitcher vultured an undeserving win. Today, a Mets’ relief pitcher rightfully earned a well-deserved win. Chad Bradford came on with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning of a 1-1 game, and retired the Nats’ best hitter and most dangerous hitter — Alfonso Soriano … Read more

Tonight, the Mets won but it was a somewhat negative game because John Maine fell down to earth. Maine’s chase of Don Drysdale’s consecutive scoreless innings record fell woefully short … he didn’t even … Read more
Nationals 2 Mets 1 OK so we lost … probably Billy Traber’s bottled-up anger for the Mets sending him to Cleveland all those years ago. I’d be pretty ticked off, too, if I were him. The good news is that Tom Glavine pitched another good game. Actually, he pitched a borderline excellent game. The only … Read more
Mets 7 Padres 3 El Duque enjoyed another strong outing in his bid to be a playoff starter, as the Mets swept San Diego for their first 2006 Shea broom job. It was a close game until the bottom of the seventh, when the strange Mets lineup exploded for four runs. In fact, the starting … Read more
Mets 4 Padres 3 Another one-run win over the Padres, and again it never seemed that close. I’m not sure what it is … now I’m thinking that the Padres brought their laid-back, southern Cal attitude to NYC and just gave the game a really relaxing air … because at no point in the game … Read more
