Mets come from behind, win 3-2!

The New York Mets had a dramatic, come from behind victory today at Shea Stadium.

Carlos_beltran
The Mets were trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-0 in the bottom of
the eight inning when Carlos Betlran delivered a  clutch two run homer
to tie the game.  The go ahead run was provided by Fernando Tatis with
a big single. This is the second game winning hit this week for Tatis
who seems determined to once again be considered a viable major league
player.

Mike Pelfrey had a solid outing but may be headed for either the
minors or the bull pen when Pedro Martinez gets back into the rotation
Tuesday. Personally, I would rather take my chances with Pelfrey and
make a move with the inconsistent Oliver Perez…but, I don’t get a
vote.

The Mets have now won four  out of five..pretty good numbers for this season.

Mets waste gem by Pelfrey

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets wasted an absolutely brilliant performance last
night by Mike Pelfrey. The young righty pitched six innings of no hit
ball and allowed only one run into the eight inning. He was awesome!
sadly,on the 2008  New  York  Mets, often times that still is not
enough. I feel bad for Pelfrey.

The Mets dropped  three  out  of   four  at  home  to  the  lowly 
Washington  Nationals.  Inexcusable! They could not muster even a
single run last night to support Pelfrey. Yes, I understand, Nationals
starter Jason Bergmann was brilliant himself, credit  to  him.  But 
still,  a  Championship caliber team, as the  Mets consider 
themselves, find a way  to  win.

The 2008 New York Mets find a way to lose. Case in point;  bottom 
of the  eight, Mets trailing  1-0, Jose  Reyes on first, nobody out.
Luis  Castillo  sacrifices, Reyes  gets thrown out attempting   to
advance all the way to third base. Now we have two outs and none on.
Don’t get me wrong, I admire Reyes’s hustle and aggressive attitude, I
really do. But sometimes you have to use your brain. That was a dumb
play!

It was indicative of the way things have gone for the Mets all season, they find ways to lose. That is what .500  teams do.

Mets drop second game of doubleheader

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets dropped the night cap of yesterday’s doubleheader,
7-1  to the  Cincinnati Reds. Starter  Mike  Pelfrey  gave the  Mets 
a  chance  going  six  innings and  allowing two runs.  However, the 
Mets offense  must  have  shot  their  load  in  game  one  since 
they  made  Reds  starter  Bronson  Arroyo  look  like  Sandy  Koufax
in  game two. The  Mets  managed  just  one  run  on  four  hits 
against  Arroyo.

As I have stated all year long, and many of you disagree, I just
think this is who the 2008 Mets are, a little better then a .500 club.
They are a very talented team with some major flaws; aging players
(Carlos Delgado, Moises Alou, Pedro Martinez, etc), no set up man in
the bullpen, a lack of clutch hitters and some questionable gloves in
the field. It seems every time they are poised to make a run, they come
up with a stinker, as was the case yesterday.

Yes, I still love my team, and yes I will be with them regardless of
what happens. But I truly believe we should get used to seeing more of
the same all season long…I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

Mets to host Reds tonight…maybe

Weather
permitting, the New York Mets open up a three game series against the
Cincinnati Reds at Shea Stadium. First pitch is set for 7:10pm,
however, I would keep a close eye on the weather before heading to the
park.

The starters will be Mike Pelfrey for the Mets vs Matt Belisle for the Reds.

The Mets are coming off a .500 road trip out West.

New York Mets quick hits for 5/9/08, 5/10/08 and 5/11/08:

  • on 5/9/70, the Mets scored 8 runs in the fifth inning to defeat
    the San Francisco Giants, 14-5, Bobby Bonds had an inside the park homer
  • the Mets come into the contest at 17-15, 2 games off the pace in the NL East
  • the Reds are 14-21 and 7.5 back
  • 5/10 starters will be Johan Santana vs Bronson Arroyo
  • 5/11/ starters will be Oliver Perez vs Johnny Cueto

Mets blown out, 10-4

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets were crushed 10-4 by the Arizona Diamondbacks today.

Mike Pelfrey and the pen struggled….obviously. The lone bright spot was a three run homer by Carlos Delgado.

Once again, while it is still early, and they have a winning record,
(barely), I am worried about the “win one, lose one” trend they are on.
As I have mentioned repeatedly, it wouldn’t be an issue had the season
not ended the way it did last year…..just my opinion.
