Zeile Does It Again!
Todd Zeile saved the day again hitting a homer in the 8th inning to tie the game and another one in the 10th to win it 5-3 and complete the sweep against the Phillies. Tom Glavine pitched well but didn’t figure into the decision. More comments later.
Glasses For Matsui?
I didn’t pay much attention to Peter Gammons the other day when he wrote the following in his ESPN.com column: Don’t be surprised if the Mets ask Kaz Matsui to switch places with Jose Reyes next year. But first they think they can address Matsui’s vision problems; part of his problem defensively is that he […]
Zeile Makes Like Hernandez
On the surface it would look like another frustrating start for a Mets pitcher. The starter only went 5 innings. But in this case it was alright since it was Al Leiter‘s first start since coming off the DL. The Senator allowed only 3 hits but walked 4. Overall Leiter looked good. The bullpen held […]
Another Minor Adjustment
An addendum to my previous post. I changed the background color and the text color that goes on that background. I was getting sick of the bright orange so I figured I’d try to mimic the black uniforms. Let me know what you think using the methods of contact listed in the previous post.
Minor Adjustments To The Blog
If you haven’t noticed I’ve made a few minor changes to the blog. I got rid of the calendar (bloglendar) on the left sidebar. It seemed redundant to have that now that Blogger supports a recent post list which I’ve been using. If you want to look up a posting from further back you can […]
Fielding Problems
The Mets have the second most errors in the game with 44 through yesterday’s action. Only the Detroit Tigers have more errors (48). Kaz Matsui leads all shortstops with 11. They also have the second worst fielding percentage in the league (just a shade above the Tigers again). So much for putting together a good […]
Cameron Hits!
In my previous post I forgot to congratulate Mike Cameron on hitting a double in the top of the eighth inning yesterday. That’s 2 hits in 2 days for Cameron and it brings his average way up to .199.
Soggy It To Me!
The Mets first game at Citizens Bank Park was a wet one. The Mets were victorious in a game that started late and was delayed over 2 hours in the middle. The win ended a four game skid. Kaz Matsui created a couple of runs with his speed and Jason Phillips continued his hot hitting. […]
How(e)’d He Do That?
Not much to say today. I just didn’t want to let a long weekend pass without saying anything. The Mets blew all 3 games to the Marlins this weekend. In the first 2 the offense disappeared. A questionable call by Art Howe blew the third. For those who missed it yesterday, Art Howe kept lefty […]
Today’s Thoughts
I’ve been away from my computer the last couple of days and will be away again the next few days. I didn’t want to be away from the blog for a week so I figured I’d post something today. The Mets split a 2 game series with the Phillies this week winning the first game […]
