Take That, Lloyd McClendon!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Earlier this season there was a minor war of words between Kris Benson and his former manager with the Pirates, Lloyd McClendon. The gist of it was Benson saying how he’s learned much more about pitching under Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson in less than a […]
Fate Says No-No to Pedro
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Pedro Martinez showed yesterday why he’s one of the best pitchers in the game. After getting rocked in his last outing he pitched a gem yesterday, taking a no hitter into the eighth inning and finnishing with a complete game 2-hitter (2 ER, 1 BB, 5 […]
Tough Day
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. As I predicted yesterday, Tom Glavine pitched well enough to win (7 IP, 9 H, 2 ER). Unfortunately fate had other plans. In the bottom of the 7th inning Carlos Beltran and Mike Cameron dived at the same ball in right center and collided with each […]
That’s More Like It
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets bea the Padres last night thanks to the arm of Kris Benson (.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO) and the bat of David Wright (4 for 5, 3 R, 1 HR, 6 RBI). Tom Glavine takes the hil for the […]
Pedro Gets Rocked
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Pedro Martinez suffered his worst outing of the year in last night’s 8-3 loss to the Padres. San Diego is leading the NL West but has an identical record to the Mets. They are one of the teams the Mets must play better against if they […]
A Nice Night for a Game
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Last night I got to make a rare trip to Shea Stadium. I don’t go very often for myriad reasons. In fact I only go a few times a year. So when I go I like be treated to a good game. That’s what I got […]
Blame Willie
I have only one question about yesterday’s game. Why was Roberto Hernandez in there at all? He had pitched the two previous games (not very well but that shouldn’t be a factor anyway) and at his age shouldn’t be pitching 3 games in a row if at all possible. He’s showing signs that his success […]
Congratulations… Not!
The Mets beat the Astros yesterday 9-4 ending the ‘Stros 7 game win streak. Pardon my cynicism but bug deal. They score 4 runs in the first 3 games in a hitters park and I’m supposed to congratulate them for scoring 9 runs in the fourth game? I don’t think so. On the plus side […]
Mets Salvage One
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets salvaged one game from their series against the Rockies last night. To lose 2 out of 3 at Coors was not a good thing and the team should be ashamed of themselves. VÃctor Zambrano (7 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 SO) […]
Another Bad Loss
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Remember what I said yesterday about giving the Mets a pass on their loss to the Rockies the night before? Nevermind. They couldn’t get it done again last night against the worst team in the league. This is a team you must beat if you’re going […]
