Mets Beat Brewers
The Mets are on a 3 game win streak after winning the last two games in Florida over the weekend and one in Milwaukee yesterday (Labor Day). They have a 2 game lead on second place Philadelphia and a 7 game lead on third place Florida. The magic number stands at 23 but there’s a long way to go.
Yesterday’s game included heroics by unlikely source Nelson Figueroa and new hero Carlos Delgado.
I refer to Delgado as a new hero but he’s really a reborn hero. His first season for the Mets (2006) he had 38 home runs, 114 RBIs and 89 runs scored. His numbers dipped dramatically last year as he slumped most of the season. But he still managed 24 home runs and 87 RBIs. This yea he was giving more of the same until around the all star break. That’s when he began to turn it round. He currently has 31 home runs and 95 RBIs and has been mentioned as an MVP candidate. His 8th inning homer yesterday keyed a 3 run 8th inning that gave the Mets the win.
Also in the 8th inning Carlos Beltran hurt his knee sliding into home plate umpire Ed Rapuano, who was out of position at home plate when Beltran scored a run. The doctors have said that the knee is bruised and there is no tendon damage. Beltran is listed as day to day.
