Subway Series resumes tonight

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets, fresh off  a  horrendous  series  against the 
Nationals,  take on  cross town  rivals the  New York  Yankees.

I would generally be far more excited for this subway series, but I
am still a bit depressed over the Nationals disaster, as are most Mets
fans….we will be fine by game time.

Tonights starting pitchers for the 7:05 contest at Yankee Stadium
will be Johan Santana (4-2, 3.10ERA) vs Darrell Rasner (2-0, 3.00ERA).

New York Mets quick hits for 5/16, 5/17 and 5/18:

  • the Mets and Yankees have met 168 times
  • the Yankees hold a 98-69 lead with one tie
  • the teams have met 60 times in the regular season, Yanks lead 35-25
  • starting pitchers on 5/17 are Oliver Perez vs Andy Petit
  • starting pitchers on 5/18 are John Maine vs Chen Mieng Wang
  • Sundays game will be aired on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball

John Maine struggling through three

Through three innings John Maine doesn’t appear to have his  best 
stuff, to put it mildly. He is already up over sixty pitches and has
given up three runs on six hits while struggling with his control. The
New York Mets trail the hated Atlanta Braves 3-1. The only positive is
his velocity as he hit the mid nineties numerous times on his
fastball. 

Lets get it together Johnny.

Mets rained out,Maine to Pitch today

Please bookmark Mr. Mets Daily new URL and check out all of our posts.

The Mets were rained out last night. They will go at it this
afternoon at 3:55pm. John Maine  gets his first start of the season and
will be opposed by  Tim Hudson.  Maine is a key to  the  Mets  success 
in 2008, especially with Pedro going down. The young Righty has the
potential to be an  outstanding  hurler and  and  possibly  even 
their  second  best  arm behind Johan.

The make up game will be played on May 20th.

Quick Hits:

  • David Wright is in the midst of a 20 game hitting streak dating back to 9/19/07
  • he is batting .395
  • he is the only Met to have multiple streaks of 15 or more
  • David turned 25 in December
  • he has hit .300 or more, hit 25 plus homers and had 100 rbi in each  of his  three  full  seasons
  • on  Opening Day the  Mets  will  honor  William  A  Shea

David also has great taste in women!!
