Mets Bullpen Loses Another One
There’s nothing positive to take from yesterday’s game except that at least the bullpen is treating other starters the same way they treat Johan Santana. Yesterday’s victim was Pedro Martinez who pitched 6 innings of 3 hit ball only to be undone by the bullpen who collectively allowed 5 hits and 6 runs over 3 […]
Mets Win
The Mets ended up pulling off a win after the lousy bullpen blew another Johan Santana win. It took a walk off homer by David Wright to get it done but at least they won.
This Bullpen Sucks
Right around now you know what Johan Santana is thinking: “You’ve got to be kidding me!” For the sixth time this season Santana left the game with a lead that was lost by the bullpen. The game isn’t over yet (it’s still in the top of the 9th) but you know Santana has to be […]
Hometown Heroes
The bullpen implosion in the first game of the series on Tuesday not withstanding this has been a great series for the Mets. They took two out of three games from the Phillies (though they should have swept). Carlos Delgado continues his hot hitting and Jose Reyes delivered some timely power (in game 2). On […]
Mets Miss Wagner In Loss
I said yesterday that the Mets need Billy Wagner healthy. Last night was why. Manager Jerry Manuel was informed before the game that Wagner needed the night off to give his shoulder some rest and allow the spasms he’s ben diagnosed with to subside. Due to a very good start by Johan Santana in which […]
Glaus Walkoff Sinks Mets
Things were looking optimistic when I decided it was time to sleep last night at about 11:20. The 47 minute rain delay meant that at that hour it was still only the 7th inning and the Mets had taken the lead, 7-4. I didn’t know that Aaron Heilman, Pedro Feliciano and Carlos Muniz were about […]
Reyes Proves His Value
One night after being removed in the first inning as a precaution to protect one of the most valuable players on the team Jose Reyes proved that value. Reyes led off the game with a single, stole second, advanced to third when Angels catcher Jeff Mathis‘s throw to second went into centerfield and scored when […]
Mets Lose Manuel Debut
Looks like the managerial change didn’t spark the Mets. In the first game since Jerry Manuel took the managers reins from Willie Randolph the Mets lost 6-1 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Team could field behind Johan Santana. They couldn’t support him with runs either. On other bad news Jose Reyes hurt […]
Mets Win In 13th
I sat down to watch the game last night at about 10 minutes to 8:00 pm. The game was already into the fourth inning. I saw Mike Pelfrey retire the last batter of the half inning then SNY cut to a commercial. When the bottom half of the inning started I got comfortable and was […]
Time To Panic?
I wrote yesterday that it’s too early to panic. But after yesterday’s horrific loss I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not too early. Oliver Perez looked horrible and made me question whether I actually want this team to make the playoffs. can you imagine this guy taking the mound when a playoff series is […]
