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 […]
Beltran and Cameron Worse Than Originally Thought
Newsday is reporting that the injuries to Carlos Beltran and Mike Cameron are worse than originally diagnosed. Cameron will need surgery on the broken bones in his face and Beltran has a displaced facial fracture that will most likely not need surgery but will have some more tests done today. Cameron is probably gone for […]
Tough Day

Why Piazza is an All-Star
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Mike Piazza proved yesterday why he was selected as the NL’s starting catcher in next week’s MLB All-Star game. With the score tied at 2 in the top of the 11th inning should be All-Star Cliff Floyd was intentionally walked because Washington manager Frank Robinson would rather […]
Lineup Change
The Mets lost 2 out of 3 to the Marlins over the weekend but then came back to beat the Nationals 5-2 yesterday… Alot has been made of Willie Randolph’s reshuffled lineup yesterday. The lineup saw Jose Reyes batting seventh for the first time in his major league career, Carlos Beltran batting second, Cliff Floyd […]
