Mets crush Yanks, 11-2!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets destroyed the New York Yankees, 11-2 last
night at Yankee Stadium. Mets starter Oliver Perez was very
sharp going seven and two thirds allowing just a pair of
runs.
The offense came from lots of places including a three run blast by
Jose Reyes who is getting on a bit of a kick with the long ball lately,
(though I would rather he just got on base and stole a lot). Not
complaining though…
The New York Mets managed to sweep the rain shortened two game set
despite having been screwed out of a three run homer by home plate
umpire Bob Davidson who overruled one of his associates who
originally, and correctly, got it right.
I can only wonder what Georgie’s little boy will say to the local media after being swept by the Mets!!
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

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.
