Bullpen Blows 300
The bullpen blew the game last night so Tom Glavine will have to wait another few days before trying for win number 300 again. Though the bullpen blew the game the offense must take some of the blame too. They simply must score more runs before they can be taken seriously as a championship contender.
Maine Can Hit Too
You knew things were going the Mets way last night when John Maine came to bat in the fourth inning with the Mets already leading 4-2. Maine just tried to make contact with the ball but ended up hitting a two run homer to left field. The blast had Mets broadcasters Gary Cohen and Keith […]
El Duque Deals and Steals
The Mets bounced back from a 5-1 loss in San Diego on Monday night to beat the Padres 7-0 last night. Orlando Hernandez pitched 7 innings of 2 hit ball. Pedro Feliciano and Guillermo Mota finished up the combined 3 hitter. El Duque also stole a base becoming the first pitcher since 1967 to steal […]
Milledge and Pérez Shine
Lastings Milledge kept up his flair for the big play yesterday when he doubled in two runs in the second inning yesterday. The runs gave the Mets a 3-0 lead in an eventual 5-2 win. The pitching hero was Oliver Perez. Coming off the disabled list Perez allowed 6 hits and two earned runs while […]
Queens is Burning
What a crazy day yesterday was. Rick Down was fired as hitting coach. Rickey Henderson was added to the coaching staff but to an unannounced position. He may be hitting coach but so may Howard Johnson who filled the duty last night as Henderson couldn’t get to New York from Oakland in time for the […]
Easley Plays Long Ball
The Mets offense got a boost from an unlikely source yesterday when Damion Easley hit a 3 run homer off of Arizona closer Jose Valverde to cap a Mets rally in the ninth and give New York a 9-4 victory over the Diamondbacks in the opener of a four game weekend series. David Wright also […]
The Oliver Pérez Conundrum
Click here for a recap of Wednesday’s game. I’m not one to panic. Especially this early in the season. But last night’s game brings a question to mind that the Mets will need to answer sooner or later. How long is too long to wait for potential to turn into consistent performance? I’m talking, of […]
A Loss and a Win
Click here for a recap of Sunday’s game. Click here for a recap of Monday’s game. Sunday’s game didn’t work out as I planned. I was feeling like the game was going to turn during Orlando Hernandez‘s last inning of work. I felt like he was running out of steam. But it was the bullpen […]
Opening Night Success
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado celebrated fatherhood in high style last night. Delgado, who became father to a baby boy last week, smacked a two run double in the third inning to give Tom Glavine his first win of the season and number 291 of his […]
Mets Strike Out Looking
The whole season came down to this. Down by two runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning of game 7 and the bases were loaded. Who came to the plate? None other than the $119 million man: Carlos Beltran. When the Mets signed Beltran to that huge contract before the 2005 […]
