Game Recap: Padres 4 – Mets 2
Thank goodness for Hank White.
The Good
Henry Blanco. The all-mighty Hank White hit a two-run home run over the “Great Wall of Flushing” for the Mets only two runs of the game.
The Bad & Ugly
Johan Santana walked four and allowed eight hits, surrendering four runs over 6 2/3 innings. He only struck out one batter. His velocity was noticeably down all game and his velocity wasn’t all there, either. Are you worried about him? Because I am starting to.
The last 22 Mets to come to bat were retired in order.
Ike Davis, David Wright and Jeff Francoeur each struck out twice.

Rain out
Tonight’s game has been rained out. There will be a split doubleheader tomorrow, 1 and 7 p.m.
Tickets for tonight’s game will be redeemable for tomorrow’s 7 p.m. game.
The SNY takeover?
SNY, the Mets' cable channel, is in talks with local stations about providing sports reports for their newscasts, The Post has learned.
The sports channel is talking to both Ch. 11 and Ch. 4 about eventually doing away with their own sportscasters and replacing them with SNY reporters, according to sources.
I find this intriguing as both a Mets fan a media nut.
I believe SNY has done a fine job of establishing themselves not only as the Mets network, but – as they say – a home for all New York sports.
If this ever happens, maybe more fans start watching SNY more often, the network gains popularity, and so do the Mets. Also, they might just feed some more money into the Mets organization.
High hopes? Yeah. But I’m a dreamer.
“He can navigate.”Game Recap: Mets 2 – Padres 1
I yelled and clapped quite loudly at T.G.I. Fridays. Oops.
The Good
Mike Pelfrey. Seriously, how good is he? A no decision after nine stellar innings of baseball is just wrong. Only five hits and one earned run, as he struck out five and walked none. He only needed 103 pitches to get through the nine innings. I was shocked that he didn’t come out to start the 10th. What a performance. I’m so proud of him.
Solo shots. Jose Reyes and Ike Davis both homered for the Mets only runs. Davis’ shot was an absolute bomb, landing about a dozen rows up in the Pepsi Porch. Can’t wait to see where Hit Tracker puts that ball.
Reyes, Pagan and Wright each had two hits. Wright picked up a two-bagger, while Pagan (thanks to a fan and botched call by the umps) hit the game’s only triple.
The Bad & Ugly
J. Bay: 0-5, 3 K
The usage of the bullpen really frightened me, but save for the one hit Pedro Feliciano allowed, they were perfect.

Jesus Feliciano promoted
Jesus Feliciano, 31, is making his first appearance in the majors with his promotion to the Mets yesterday.
Feliciano had been hitting .385 / .426 / .481 over 53 games for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
A career minor leaguer, Feliciano has been with four different organizations. He’s been at the Mets Triple-A level for the last four season.
Omir Santos was moved back to the minors to make room for Feliciano.
“That's a tremendous problem to have.”
