Stanton Keeping Batista On Base
Why was Mike Stanton being so careful about keeping Tony Batista so close to first in the 8th inning? Especially with 2 outs? The guy has never had more than 7 stolen bases in a season (his career high of 7 came in his rookie year of 1996). He has stolen only 33 bases in […]
Another One Bites The Dust
The Mets blew another one last night losing 2-1 to the Expos. From what I’ve read so far this morning people are really coming down on the Mets for losing this one. While it’s true that the Expos are a team the Mets should beat the fact is that the Mets can’t win every game […]
Things To Look For Tonight
Things to watch for in tonight’s game against the Expos: Mike Piazza is stuck on 350 career home runs. One more will tie him with Carlton Fisk for number one on the all time list of home runs by a catcher. Piazza had been slumping but went 2 for 3 last night and hit a […]
Mondays Action
As mentioned in a previous post the Mets beat the Expos 4-1 last night to break their 3 game skid. It’s always nice to have a last place team come in when you’re on a slide like that. Some random notes: Tyler Yates pitched a decent game. He’s getting a lot of praise in the […]
Mets Win
The Mets won 4-1 against the Expos tonight. Granted, the Expos are a last place team so it’s not much to get excited about. But as a last place team the Mets are expected to beat the Expos if they are going to contend this year. So beating the Expos is a good sign. Let’s […]
Mets Winning in 4th Inning
I just turned on the game and the Mets are winning 4-0 in the 4th inning. As the Mets were victimized by a couple of big innings over the weekend I’m not going to get my hopes up yet. But this is certainly a promising development.
Mets, Expos Open 4 Game Set Tonight
The Mets, coming off a lost weekend to the Pirates, open a 4 game series against the Expos tonight. It’s not a bad thing to play against the team with the leagues worst record after blowing 3 games and looking like fools over the weekend. Tyler Yates takes the mound tonight. Let’s hope he can […]
The Mets Lost Weekend (and other stories)
The Mets suffered a 3 game sweep at the hands of the Pirates this week and there really weren’t many positives to walk away with. A bright spot was Tom Glavine pitching 7 innings of 1 hit ball on Friday night but then he was removed with tightness in his shoulder. Steve Trachsel also had […]
