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 Reds, take two of three!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The
New York Mets defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 8-3 this afternoon at Shea
Stadium.Jose Feliciano came on in the ninth to finish.
It was a solid outing for Oliver perez, who pitched six solid innings.
In the top of the ninth inning, a very strange thing occurred; the
Reds batted out of order. David Ross led off…out of order, he
flied out to center. Willie Randolph came out to inform the
Umpire. Mistake, Willie. If he had kept quiet unless something
happened, it would have been a better result. What occurred
was, Randolph complained, Ross batted for second time and of course
got a hit. Had Willie waited, if the next batter got a hit, then he
complained, they would both be out. It caused a twelve minute delay.
But it ended well.
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 Mets are coming off a .500 road trip out West.

Mets lose to Dodgers,Perez ineffectivehttp://edit.mlblogs.com/app?__mode=view&_type=entry&blog_id=1584
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Mets 5-1 last night in LA.
Mets starter Oliver Perez couldn’t get the job done once again.
While the Mets hitters certainly didn’t help, you can’t allow three
homeruns in a single game. Although Mets manager Willie Randolph seemed
not to have a problem with his performance. “Obviously, it’s a better
game if you compare the two,” Willie Randolph
said, referring to last week’s blowout at the hands of the Pirates at
Shea. “He didn’t pitch that bad, really. He kept us in the game.”
Way to raise the bar for your players Willie!
Mets to battle Dodgers tonight!
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets travel West to take on former Yankee skipper Joe
Torre and his Los Angeles Dodgers tonight at 10:10pm, est. Torre’s club
comes into the ballgame with a record of 17-14, while the Mets are
16-13. Two clubs with high hopes for the season looking to get into a
groove should make for an exciting series.
Tonight’s starting pitchers will be for the Mets Oliver Perez (2-2,
4.03 ERA) vs the Dodgers Chad Billingsley (1-4, 5.21 ERA).
If the Mets hope to rise above their just slightly over .500 form,
they need Perez to step it up a notch. The left hander has been
mediocre at best this season and is coming off a nightmare
outing last week against the lowly Pittsburg Pirates. With Pedro
Martinez getting close to returning, somebody..either Perez or Mike
Pelfrey, is going to lose a starting job. Perez should have plenty of
motivation to get it done against the Dodgers.
New York Mets quick hits for 5/5/08, 5/6/08 and 5/7/08:
- Orlando Hernandez will travel to New York this week to have his injured foot reevaluated
- Jorge Sosa leads all relievers with 4 victories on the season
- Ryan Church is tied for the Major League lead among outfielders with 4 assists
- Jose Reyes leads the majors with 5 triples
- 5/6 starting pitchers; Nelson Figueroa vs Hiroki Kurida
- 5/7 starting pitchers; John Maine vs Brad Penny

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.
Santana stilfles Nationals, 7-2
Remember to check out our homepage myteamrivals
The
New York Mets topped the Washington Nationals 7-2 last night in our
Nations Capitol. The Mets were led by pitching ace Johan Santana who
went, as usual, seven strong innings. Johan was also one of the Mets
better hitters smacking a pair of doubles.
If only Johan Santana could give hitting lessons to Pedro Serrano…I mean Carlos Delgado.
By the way,Mets manager Willie Randolph dropped Serrano to the six spot last night.
The teams hook up again tonight at 7:10. Oliver Perez goes for the Mets, while Shawn Hill throws em for the Nationals.
Mets beat Phils, 4-2!
