Back on Trach?

The Mets got a much needed win last night behind some good pitching and timely hitting. Steve Trachsel only mistake was Barry Bonds 710th career home run in the second inning. Beyond that Trachsel was solid.



Alou Plays Savior For Giants

My hatred of west coast night games has been discussed before so I won’t get into it now besides to say I hate them. Now that I got that out of the way… The Mets helped prove that Barry Bonds is not the only person on the Giants who can win games.



Wagner’s First Blown Save

I don’t have alot of time to write this morning so I’ll make this quick. Brian Bannister‘s first



More On Opening Day

I mentioned Cliff Floyd‘s outfield assist in throwing Alfonso Soriano out at the plate yesterday without having seen the play or hearing the audio. (My only knowledge of the play was from Yahoo’s GameChannel which I was using to ‘watch’ the game from work.) What I didn’t know and wouldn’t learn until I watched the […]



One Down, 161 To Go

The Mets won 3-2 at Shea today to start the season off with a victory.



Mets Win on the Road!

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Just when you think it’s safe to turn your attention away from the Mets they go ahead and actually win a game on the road. Yesterday they beat the Cardinals by producing some runs to back a solid outing by Pedro Martinez. Does this mean they’re […]

Where Are All These Runs Coming From?

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. In the last two games the Mets have scored 32 runs. That’s the most runs they have scored since 1990. Pretty cool but I’d gladly trade a few of those runs for 1 or 2 where they would count more. Like the time Pedro Martinez pitched […]



The Duke of Queens

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets 5-0 loss to the Pirates last night was sad. It’s bad enough that they lost and hurt their playoff chances but they only managed 3 hits the whole game. In fairness, last night starter for Pittsburgh, Zach Duke, has been tearing up the league […]



Beltran In, Piazza Out

Click here for a recap of last night’s game. As one player returned from an injury another player was forced to take some time off because of one. Carlos Beltran returned to the lineup and went 1 for 2 with 2 walks. But then it was revealed that Mike Piazza will need at least a […]
