Scored early...2 solo shots. Got shut down by Arroyo from there...
Glav great early allowed 2 in the 5th. struggled thru the 6th...miraculously got out without any runs..thanks to heads up throw home play by Valentin.
Chad (Houdini) Bradford worked out of a bases loaded 1 out jam in the 7th. Hes been so solid.
A great throw out at second with Valentin sliding away and yet still blocking the plate.
anyway. Finished the trip 4-2 heading home to face houston and chicago.
El Duque tonight 7:10

Game:: Stupid Rain
it hurts to think about what would happen if that rain didnt come.
Traxx was going on all cylinders, picking off his early baserunner. mets got 2rbi hits from reyes and wright in those 2 innings pre rain.
and then...the rain. 2 hours and 23 minutes where i was reminded of Tsuyoshi Shinjo.
i forgot he wore #5...
anyway. props to SNY for the OBP stat now in each players batting graphic. i think that stat is just as important as the AVG.
yeah. i guess im sort of speechless on this game. we just collapsed after the 2nd inning.
~Pedro aiming to return in 10 days.
~Traded Keppinger for Gotay...straight minor league deal. 1-1.
Arroyo vs. Glav 12:30 today. toughhh game.

Doubly Grand
Carlos Beltran haters, please shut up.
I would have to say he's earning his money now.
A Grand Salami 2 games in a row. (first met since Robin Ventura in a double header against the Brewers, 1999)
Takes over the RBI lead. 27 HRs.
Hit that GS in the 7th to extend the lead from one run to 5. Added an RBI double in the 9th.
And what about Xavier Nady...solo shot in the 3rd. Guns down Royce Clayton trying to stretch that RBI single to a double in the 6th, got out of a possible disaster inning.
And we cant forget about Mike Pelfrey. Pitched "OK" getting into trouble over and over, but his sinker was working excellent, and he induced double plays to end the inning in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. Two of those DP's came off Griffey Jr's bat. He went 6 giving up 7 hits, 3 BB, and struck out 3.
Its good to have Reyes back. He went 0-4 with a walk and a FC, but scored 2 runs. He also forced Delgado to come off the bag twice with errant throws to first. But delgado still managed to get them out, and even joked about where his arm angle should be when throwing.
~Delgado is 5 for his last 33. in a major slump. thank god everyone else keeps hitting. Once were running on all pistons...ohh boy
~Cliff Floyd was finally quited going 0-4 on the day.
~Jose Valentin hit a solo HR in the 5th, extending his hitting streak to 6.
~Pedro is eating normal again.
== 7:10 tonight Traxx vs. Harang.

the return.
New York Mets baseball starts again. 2:20 @ historic Wrigley against the lowly Cubs.
~Traxx vs Maddux. interesting!
~Reyes will sit again today, still nursing his pinky.
~Maine will be shipped into the pen, and Pelfrey will make at least one more start.
~Pedro returning will be pushed back, after he came down with food poisoning, and couldnt throw over the ASB.
Trade Rumors have begun to pick up. Nats and Reds swapped 8 players, with Gary Majewski going to Cincy and Austin Kearns to Washington.
The lastest involving the mets, is dealing with the White Sox. Javier Vazquez and Freddy Garcia are available. They both have ERA's hovering around 5, maybe Rick "The Jacket" Peterson could tweak 'em a little...? It looks like we'd have to part with Sanchez or Heilman...
~I don't know how i feel on this one. Freddy had that great year a few years ago, and im sure hed do well with the mets, but do we really want to tinker with our 'pen...
well...Lets see how today goes. Lets Go Mets!

thank god for david wright.
comeback baby!
glavines win streak battles through, avoiding a loss for the third straight game.
Xavier Nady hit a two run shot, and made 2 solid plays in the field.
Lo Duca went 3 for 4 with an RBI.
But the game ball goes to David Wright for his 3 run, go ahead, eventual game winning home run in the bottom of the 8th.
Wagner gave up a solo shot, but still earned the save, as the mets earned a split with the marlins heading into the all-star break.
good luck to our all stars, and especially to david wright in the home run derby tommorrow night.
that is a great first half of the season...lets do it again.

what a day(game) and night
ok...the mets lost to the marlins 3-2 in game 1. they couldnt buy a hit, both their runs were unearned and scored without a hit. again, john maine pitched fairly well. 6 hits, 3 k's, 0 walks...except 3 of those hits were solo homeruns.
in the second game...we crushed them 17-3. mike pelfrey was a bit shaky, visably nervous at times. he threw 5 innings, 104 pitches, gave up 5 hits, walked 4 and struck out 3. pretty good.
and he got all the run support he needed from jose valentin. grand slam and a 3 run triple in the first and second respectively. every starter except franco and pelfrey had a hit.
john maine must be thinking...'why couldnt i get just two of those runs...'
glavine goes today. cmon we need a split here...
oh. and david wright's socks in game 1 at least. niiice. thats how all ball players should wear their pants...i cant find a picture though.

ok...lets take a minute to recap.
Double Header today- John Maine to pitch game 1, Mike Pelfrey (pictured right) to pitch game 2.
Henry Owens made his major league debut in the opener against florida. he pitched a perfect 9th inning, and got a standing ovation as he left the mound.
this is very exciting. all our young pitchers....ohhh
Jose Reyes will miss the rest of the series against Florida, and possibly the All Star game, after he was spiked on the hand during a head first slide into 1st base. I still don't get the head first slide, it seems to me that if you keep running, youll get there sooner...right? leaving your feet a couple steps early, and flinging yourself through the air doesnt seem like the fastest way to get from point A to point B.
Lima Time has expired. He was designated for assignment...finally. His Mets numbers:: 0-4 9.78 ERA. woah.
ok...thats most of what happened. lets go maine and pelfrey. lets go Mets.
oh yeah. i hope the games go well...considering i cant watch them...gosh, i hope i dont miss anything special.
