Game 1: Mets 2 - Cards 0

CARLOS BELTRAN! wow. that ball was outtttta here.

Tom Glavine was just unbelieveable last night. Guillermo Mota was great. Billy Wagner was excellent.
9 innings of 4 hit ball. That's just amazing. "King Albert" went 0-3 with a strikeout.

The game ball goes to Glavine, Mota, Wagner, and Beltran.

David Wright had two very nice plays in the field, including a 5-3 line out double play, to get Tom out of a jam.
Jose Valentin madea a very nice play in the 9th...falling away from first and Carlos Delgado dug out the throw for the 2nd out. that was nice.

Looks like we lost the Cliff Floyd gamble...He left the game in the second inning after tweaking it during his at bat. Endy Chavez came in and played very well in the field...going into the stands attemtping to make a catch, and then a very nice diving catch in the 7th to help out glav...

so on to Game 2...Maine v. Carpenter...
it will be fairly cold tonight, i dont really know if that will help or hurt us. Hopefully Maine can give us 5 or 6 innings af solid baseball, and we can pass in onto the bullpen. The pen is well rested after the days off and needing only 3 pitchers in Game 1.

Maine vs. Carpenter: Game 2 @ 8

(Note: The Detroit/Oakland game has been moved up to 4:20 to attempt to avoid snow...)
