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 […]
Pedro Gets Rocked
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Pedro Martinez suffered his worst outing of the year in last night’s 8-3 loss to the Padres. San Diego is leading the NL West but has an identical record to the Mets. They are one of the teams the Mets must play better against if they […]
Don’t Blame Hernández
The Mets wre tied going into the 9th inning last night in Houston. That’s when Roberto Hernandez entered the game with the mission of preserving the tie so the Mets bats would have a chance to win it in the 10th (yeah, right). Hernandez ended up losing the game. It’s easy to be upset at […]
Welcome to the Second Half
Good morning, class, and welcome back from your mid term break. With the All-Star break behind them the Mets try to improve on their .500 record tonight, starting the second half with a 4 game set against the Atlanta Braves. Though a .500 record at the break is an improvement on last season it’s not […]
Bats Must Get Going
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Willie Randolph’s new lineup took the field for the second game in a row last night. And for the second day in a row the Mets didn’t score a run until late in the game. This time they didn’t score until the 9th inning after being […]
Great Game
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Everything worked for the Mets against the Phillies yesterday afternoon at Shea. Pedro Martinez pitches (6 IP, H, ER, 6 SO). Jose Reyes triples (his league leading 9th of the season). Chris Woodward gets 2 hits and knocks in 2 runs from the 8th hole in the […]
Mets End Skid
Click here for a recap of yesterday’s game. Carlos Beltran hit a 3 run homer in the 7 run 5th inning to give the Mets a lead they wouldn’t give up (no matter how hard Danny Graves tried). It was Beltran’s 8th homer of the year and first in a game not started by Pedro […]
Graves Still Not Quite A Met – But Almost
Danny Graves wore a Mets uniform (no. 32), pitched batting practice (to batter Ramon Castro) and received a hug from Pedro Martinez but is still not officially a Met. Graves agents and the Mets are still working out the particulars of the 2006 portion of his contract. As soon as those details are worked out […]
A No-No?? No!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Denied again. Going into the 7th inning last night it looked like Pedro Martinez might do what no other Mets pitcher has ever done: throw a no hitter. But then Chris Burke came to bat and there went that. Pedro ended up having to settle with […]
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 […]
