Mets Beat Reds
After falling behind early the Mets chipped away at the Reds and former Generation K member Paul Wilson (7-0, 3.17) to pull out an impressive 7-4 win at Shea last night. Matt Ginter didn’t have his best stuff and was pulled after 4 innings making way for spectacular relief appearances by John Franco and Mike Stanton (2 innings each) before Braden Looper closed it up with his 13th save. Hitting highlights included Mike Piazza hitting a homer to give the Mets a lead and Mike Cameron getting 3 hits.

Anyone out there have any experience with 1&1 Web Hosting? I’m considering them for my new web host but I’d like some feedback from people who have used them.

Tough Action Coming
The Mets start another tough segment of their schedule tonight as they start a month of tough games against the Reds, Yankees, Marlins and Phillies. The way these guys have been playing the last month or so you can look for some very exciting games and some streaky play. A stretch like this separates the boys from the men (or, in a more politically correct way, the children from the grown ups). .500 won’t be good enough here. They need to at least split their 6 games with the Yankees and average 2 wins out of every 3 games against the other teams if they want to elevate themselves to contender status.
It all kicks off tonight as the Amazins’ take on former Generation K member Paul Wilson (7-0, 3.17). Mr. 500 Ken Griffey Jr. is having a tremendous comeback year and manager Dave Miley has his team firing on all cylinders. These guys are not the same losing team from the last few years. They’re tough. But the Mets have enough to handle them and have Matt Ginter, Jae Seo and Tom Glavine coming up in the rotation.

David Wright Ready For Major Leagues?
David Wright has gotten some attention from ESPN’s John Sickels. Sickels wrote a very nice profile on Wright last week and included Wright in his column titled Top 10 possible promotions just posted on ESPN’s website. Sickels says of Wright:
In my opinion, he is ready for major league action, both offensively and defensively, and would make an impact as soon as he gets an opportunity.
Nice to hear.

I’m Back
My web hosting issues apparently could not have come at a worse time. In the last week we’ve had a coaching change (I’m indifferent but supportive of it, if that makes any sense), a trade (I like this one, there’s really nothing to lose), the long awaited return of Jose Reyes (I’m happy but a little skeptical that a guy who hasn’t played in a game in 10 months has had enough post injury rehab time) and a winning streak (it’s nice to be at .500 again). Though my hosting issues are not yet behind me (I’m trying to figure out where to take my business and am open to suggestions) I will be trying to post more regularly.
In addition to my web hosting problems I’ve also been having printer problems and major issues with the support tech’s I’ve been talking with to get the problems resolved. I’ll probably be posting a rant about this soon. You’ve been warned.

Temporary Relocation
Due to a change made by my web provider I can no longer update my blog to my domain through Blogger. I’ve relocated the blog to Blogspot (click here to go to current blog) on what I hope is a temporary basis. This is not the first time I’ve had a problem with my web provider but it’s the first one that affects functionality and I’m not very happy about it or the way it’s been handled. If anyone has any suggestions for a new provider please let me know via email. I deally I’d like to get off of Blogger as well (maybe to Movable Type which does not work on my current web provider either) but first things first.

Please Forgive Me
In a post last week I erroneously reported that the Mets were contractually obligated to make a decision on Scott Erickson‘s status with the team after his latest rehab start. I have since learned that this contractual obligation is not until June 28. This will allow Erickson to get one or two more starts before a decision must be made.

Reyes Returning?
Sources are reporting that Jose Reyes may be in a Mets uniform as early as this weekend. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Every time we’ve heard that Reyes has been close to returning something bad has happened. Let’s hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
