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 […]
Daily News Joins the Bashing Lloyd McClendon Bandwagon
It looks like I have some company on the bashing Lloyd McClendon bandwagon. Perhaps picking up on yesterday’s Game Comments Ian Begley has an article entitled “Lloyd dead wrong about Wright” in today’s New York Daily News. Here are the first 2 paragraphs of the article: Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon may wish to stop getting […]
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 […]
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 […]
That’s What I’m Talking About!
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. The Mets controlled the whole game yesterday. Scored first, held the lead, scored some more and never gave up (even when Danny Graves was pitching). Kazuhisa Ishii (4 H, 0 ER) did a good job of protecting his spot in the rotation for now despite walking 5 […]
Notes
Sorry for not having posted the last several days. Things at work have gotten a bit busy with a big project nearing an all too agressive deadline preventing me from posting more regularly than I have in the last week and a half or so. In the second half the Mets have managed to get […]
Good Start to Second Half
The Mets opened the season last night with a good win against a good team beating the Braves, the wild card leader, 6-3. There were a few good performances last night: Mike Piazza hit a game winning 3 run homer. Carlos Beltran went 4 for 4. David Wright hit 2 homers. Kris Benson had a […]
Heath Gets His Bell Rung
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets bullpen, most notably Heath Bell, blew a good start by Tom Glavine. Bell gave up 3 runs in the 11th inning to turn a 3-3 tie into a 6-3 loss. David Wright batted 5th in the order in place of Mike Piazza who is […]
Profiles From An Off Day
With the day off yesterday and nothing real in the news there’s really not much for me to write about. However, there are several good articles in the newspapers today about the boys from Shea so here’s a sampling: Mets’ Wright Has It All Except an Attitude – Lee Jenkins, NY Times Mets: Randolph feels […]
Swept by Atlanta
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. The Mets failed to score a run for the second game in a row. In yesterday’s Game Comments I said that the Mets not being able to score was a great concern. Perhaps I was being alarmist based on the fact that the pitcher they were […]
