Nationals 3 Mets 2 The Mets have lost three in a row very few times this year — maybe three times? — so this was a rare occurence indeed. Luckily, these last games mean nothing in the grand scheme of Planet Mets; all we really care about at this point is getting the starters tuned … Read more
Marlins 5 Mets 2 The Mets lost, but that was hardly the point. This was another tune-up for Pedro Martinez. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the old Petey on the mound. Though his numbers were okay, and Mr. Willie said he was very happy with the performance, to most spectators it looked a little scary. First off, … Read more
Marlins 6 Mets 3 Though it means nothing, it was a tough game to lose, considering that baby fat boy himself, Miguel Cabrera, poked his head into the pregame interview with Willie Randolph and yelled “we’re gonna win today!”.

It appears that Orlando Hernandez is getting warmed up for the playoffs. Unfortunately, outside of El Duque, it seemed as though no one on the … Read more
Pirates 5 Mets 3 Not a good game, in fact a poor attempt to clinch a pennant. It all began with Pedro, who was apparently still nursing a calf injury and very ineffective. His poor start put the Mets in the dumps, and they never recovered, as they were unable to do much of anything … Read more
