Mets take 3 of 4 from the Dodgers!
The New York Mets beat the Dodgers 6-1 tonight at Shea Stadium. The
win makes the Amazins 5-1 in their last six games and finally
appear to be getting on a roll.
So many key Mets came through tonight; David Wright with 2 RBI’s and
a run scored, Carlos Beltran with a two run homer, Ryan Church also had
a two run job, Jose Reyes had three hits and Johan Santana was
outstanding. Santana went seven and two thirds allowing just one run.
It was Johan’s seventh win of the season and the Mets are 9-3 in games
he started.Not bad numbers for a team just one win above .500.
Mets fans have reason for optimism as the team travels across
country to face the San Francisco Giants Monday night..(I won’t
complain right now about the MLB scheduling screw up). Remember, Pedro
Martinez makes his return to the Mets line up Tuesday night.
I have been waiting all season for the Mets to make a run, it seems
to be happening right now. While I still feel the club has some holes,
I also feel with some breaks they could be a team to contend with.

Johan Santana needs to be the stopper tonight!

The New York Mets close out a dreadful four game set tonight against
the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have beaten up on the Mets pretty
good through the first three games.
Tonight’s starting pitchers will be Johan Santana (5-2) vs Tim
Hudson (6-3). The Mets need to salvage something positive out of this
series and ace Johan Santana needs to step up and be a stopper
and get the Mets back on the right track. This is where your
ace pitcher earns his money.
Mets top Yankees, 7-4!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets defeated the New York Yankees, 7-4 yesterday at Yankee Stadium.
Mets ace Johan Santana got the win, his fifth of the season. Santana
wasn’t dominant as he surrendered three solo homers to the Yanks, but
as usual, he had enough to get it done. Johan seems able, in almost
every outing, to give the Mets a chance to win.
Billy Wagner, who caused another stir on Thursday by calling out his
teammates, came on for a four out save. Wagner entered in the eight
inning and was effective. Something he is apparently willing to do more
of; “I’ve told Willie Randolph, I am willing to do this when needed”
The Mets also flashed some defense as Carlos Beltran threw out Derek
Jeter trying to stretch a single into a double, and Ryan Church’s relay
hit Luis Castillo who pegged Johnny Damon at the plate.
With seven rune scored, the offense obviously showed up as well.
Jose Reyes cracked a home run and Carlos Beltran had an RBI single.
The Mets showed a little spirit and fire yesterday, things sorely
lacking much of the season. With any luck, it will continue tonight as
Oliver Perez takes the mound against Chen-Meing Wang.
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).

Figueroa for the Mets.
The Nationals enter the ball game with a record of 15-23, 8.5 games

steaks…I mean Phillies.
The Mets look to gain some momentum after taking two of three

Mets spank Reds, 12-6!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets defeated the Cincinnati Reds 12-6 on the front end of a day/night doubleheader.
Mets ace pitcher, Johan Santana got his fourth win of the season. He
struggled allowing three runs, ten hits and well over 100 pitches
thrown, but as always, Santana put the New York Mets in position to get
a win. Nice job Johan!
There was plenty of offense as the Mets put up twelve for the second
straight game. Carlos Beltran was the big gun with five RBI, including
a three run triple. Lets hope this is Beltran coming back to form.
Game two is set for 7:30pm. Mike Pelfrey gets the start.
Mets lead Reds, 6-3 in sixth!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets lead the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 with two out in the sixth.
Mets starter Johan Santana has been effective, but struggling. He is
already at about 107 pitches and just yielded his tenth hit. This
inning will be all for Santana.

Mets take series, beat Diamondbacks 5-2!
Remember to check out our homepage at my team rivals
The New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 today to take two of three in the series.
Starter Johan Santana was not great, but he certainly got the job
done, six innings, one run, eight strikeouts. He deserved better but
got a no decision. He struggled a bit with his control walking four and
going deep in the count several times.
The Mets caught a break in the decisive ninth when Serrano….I mean
Carlos Delgado(sorry, but watch the movie Major League and tell me he
isn’t Serrano’s twin), hit into what should have been a double play
ball to Conor Jackson who sent it flying into the outfield…(the check
is in the mail Conor). The Mets added two insurance runs after
Jackson’s early Christmas Present.
