Mets top Braves, 4-3!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets defeated the rival Atlanta Braves, 4-3 yesterday
at Shea Stadium. The Mets had nine hits on the day including two by
David Wright.
They also, finally got some solid innings out of the bull pen.
All good news, however, I am still very concerned by the lack of
consistency this team shows…particularly the bull pen. That said, I
will certainly take a win over the Atlanta Braves any day of the week.
Lets hope they can make it two straight today!
I just love working her picture in whenever possible…
Mets blow 3-0 lead, lose to Nationals
Remember to check out our homepage myteamrivals
The
New York Mets lost to the Washington Nationals last night 10-5. Mets
starter Oliver Perez had an early 3-0 lead, but as these Mets have
shown us too many times of late, no lead is safe with them.
As I stated in my most recent post, the Mets MUST beat up on these
weaker teams in the NL. Especially when you start out with a lead. But
in a familiar story, poor bull pen work and lack of clutch hitting cost
the Mets again.
These early season losses to weaker teams might not seem significant
right now, but just wait until September when in all probability we
will be locked in a tight race with the Phillies and Braves.
Speaking of the Braves, they are up next. Check back later today for pre game analysis.
Figueroa impresses in Mets debut!
Remember to check out our homepage myteamrivals
Coney Island native Nelson Figueroa was very impressive in his New
York Mets debut. He had a no hitter through five innings and
ended up with a solid six inning performance yielding just
two runs on two hits.
It was a very emotional evening for Figueroa as he had over 100
friends and family in attendance. “I thought I was going to lose
it,” he said. “I really did. It was just
the culmination of everything — the intensity of the game. This
journey has been so incredible, and to go out there and put forth that
kind of a performance … it’s storybook-like.”
He got the win as the Mets topped the Milwakee Brewers 4-2.
Billy Wagner pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to notch the save….the
bull pen has been lights out the past two games, lets hope
it continues.
The Mets and Brewers go at it again today at 1:05 in a marquee
pitching match up; Ben Sheets goes for Milwakee and Johan Santana makes
his long awaited Shea Stadium debut. There will be plenty of excitement
today.
Quick hits:
- the first 25,000 fans will receive a city field cap today
- Duaner Sanchez may join the Mets as early as Tuesday
- Carlos Beltran had seven doubles in the Mets first six games
