Not at all Dave...Gee is getting rocked. Looks like we'll be 8-8 after tonight.

The injury bug is back!
In the last two Days the Mets have placed, Cedeno, Bay and now Pelfrey on the DL.
Bay's injury (broken rib) isn't as serious as it sounds, but it looks like Pelf is done for the season.
These are brutal injuries for a team that started the season with no depth.
Mac get your glove, Sandy should be calling soon

[kelmac07]

Cedeno and Bay isn't a big sting...Cedeno is a punching judy with a weak glove and Bay hasn't done anything since arriving to NY. Everyone knows how I feel about Pelfrey...glad he's out of the rotation.

[kelmac07]

Mets spoil Reyes's "welcome back to NY" party with a 2-1 victory...and he goes 0-4.

[Dave128]

Nice win for Santana last night. He looked really good. I'm not too upset about Pelfrey or Cedano, but I think Bay has some potential. That was one hell of a face plant he did, BTW! Bay has been hurt more than not since arriving in NY. He needs to get and stay healthy. I think he could be good for the team. His bat has been historically above par for the majority of his career. Although, there must've been something wrong with him for the Sox to kick him to the curb!

Santana didn't get the win last night.
As a matter of fact, the Mets have yet to score a run with him on the mound.
Hard to win games with zero support.
As for Bay, I think the majority of his injuries have come from playing hard.
It's easy to see he gives 100% when he's in the feild, regardless of how he's doing at the plate.

My bad. Santana officially had a ND. The team won the game because of his outstanding performance. Based on that, and IMHO, he should get the "W". It's not his fault the team can't score. As for Bay, I can agree with your statement.

[kelmac07]

Bay may give 100% and play very hard (it's not like he's known for his defense), but he is just like Beltran. In that he signed a HUGE contract and has yet to produce in New York. Beltran had a few "decent" years, but nothing like his days in KC or his playoff performance in Houston. He just never panned out in NY. Bay has yet to hit for the power he had in Boston.

And in 18 innings, the Mets offense has provided Santana ZERO run support...ZERO!!! What do you expect from a AA line-up??

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Marlins tonight, 5-1...Dickey looked real good. Wright becomes the Mets all time RBI leader.

[kelmac07]

Damn fine come from behind, walk off win beating the Marlins 3-2 this afternoon.

Heath Bell was terrible...walked 4 in a row. Mets were fortunate today.

Three in a row is three in a row no matter how ugly!

That's like saying "I'm the smartest member of the VCM"
Is it really that big of a deal?



Nice job with the sweep.
The Mets seem to be a very streaky team thus far.
Red hot or ice cold.
They will need to be more consistent if they want to hang around for a wild card.

[kelmac07]

Mets were up against the Rockies 6-2...I come back and check the score an inning later... and we are down 10-6. Fricking bullpen!!!

[jonumberone]

Mets Give up an 11 spot in the 5th and make 6 errors in the game!

OUCH!

[kelmac07]

An a$$-whooping was laid on us by the Rockies last night...18-9. 5 errors and the bullpen gave up 12 runs...OUCH!!! A few good notes, Hairston hit for the cycle and Thole extended his hitting streak.

[kelmac07]

Mets bullpen strikes again...blow another superb performance by Santana. Giving up a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the eight by allowing Helton to hit a grand slam. But the Mets pulled it out in the 11th and won 6-5 to take the series.

At 13-9 and one game out of first place...way better than what I expected...so far. Hello, I thought we'd be 3-19.

[mase]

That was a frustrating game to watch.
