Manuel’s Musing
“It's frustrating, there's no doubt about it. You have to applaud the fact we have, at least in these first 10 games, given ourselves a shot to win.”

Game Recap: Mets 5 – Rockies 0
(I didn’t see an inning of the game, but I followed via MLB Gameday / At Bat.)
The Good
Seven combined hits for the 1-5 of the Mets order. Two hits a piece from Jose Reyes, Luis Castillo and Jeff Francoeur.
David Wright’s 3 walks. It’s not every day you walk three times.
Mike Pelfrey. On the mound, Pelf turned in seven solid innings of shutout baseball, scattering five hits, walking none and striking out six. This saved him from running laps around Coors Field. Big Pelf also helped his own cause with an RBI single in the 4th.
Feliciano to K-Rod. Pedro Feliciano worked the 8th, bridging to Francisco Rodriguez in the 9th. Just like Jerry wrote it up.
The Bad & Ugly
6, 7, 8 of the order going hitless. Fernando Tatis, Henry Blanco and Angel Pagan all went hitless.
Baserunning. If you saw it, you know. If you didn’t see it, don’t bother looking it up; It was that bad.
