Mets Thrown for a Loop-er
The Mets played a very good game yesterday. The bullet points are as follows: Pedro Martinez was shaky for the first few batters but then settled down and had a great outing the rest of the way. Carlos Beltran showed us why he’s making the big bucks by hitting a homer in his Mets debut. […]
Mets Win 6-1
The Mets beat the Dodgers last night marking several milestones. Firstly they scored 6 runs. That’s a big deal for this team and hopefully is a sign that they are coming out of their collective hitting slump. Secondly, they scored their first series win since the first week of the season. If they can parlay […]
Another Day, Another Loss
In losing to the Dodgers 3-2 last night at least the Mets made a game of it. Kaz Matsui led the game off with a homer and got a hit in the 9th against Eric Gagne to keep the game alive (even though his team mates weren’t able to score against the closer who hasn’t […]
Mets Beat Dodgers
The Mets won in LA last night, 9-5 as Mike Piazza finally belted his 351st home run to tie Carlton Fisk for most career home runs by a catcher. Shane Spencer and Todd Zeille hit homers too as the Mets scored more runs than in their last 6 games. Other notes: What am I looking […]
Groundhog Day
Another weekend, another three game sweep (on the losing end). I’m beginning to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Same story different day. Good starting pitching, a bullpen that seems to be holding it’s own, decent (but occasionally balky) defense & lousy hitting. If not for the DL there’d be nothing new to talk […]
Met’s Almost Blow Split In Series With Expos
The Mets almost blew yesterday’s game with 2 errors in the 9th but Braden Looper managed to hold it together and save the game. Steve Trachsel had a good outing allowing 8 hits, 1 walk and 1 earned run in 8 innings. Mike Piazza hit 2 doubles and knocked in 2 runs and Mike Cameron […]
Mets Win!
Not only did they win but they scored 3 runs too. That’s not a lot of runs but with an offense as bad as the Mets offense has been lately it’s still cause for celebration. With 2 errors in the 9th inning it looked as though they would blow it but when it was all […]
Mets Finally Hit With Runner In Scoring Position
It’s as if they read my last post. Shane Spencer was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game. Mike Piazza hit a double to move Spencer to third. Jason Phillips hit a single to score Spencer. It’s just one run but they did a couple of things right to score it. […]
Mets Can’t Score in 1st
The Mets were gift wrapped a first inning scoring situation today and messed it up big time. Kaz Matsui reached first on a throwing error by Expos third baseman Tony Batista. Karim Garcia walked, moving Matsui to second. Then Shane Spencer was hit by a John Patterson pitch to load up the bases with no […]
More Bad Offense
The Mets lost to the Expos 2-1 last night. Where have I heard that before? You can take what I said yesterday about the importance of not wasting good performances and substitute Tom Glavine instead of Al Leiter. A Mike Cameron error lead to the winning (unearned) run. So much for defense up the middle. […]
