It’s been another busy week and I haven’t
had much time for baseball, so let’s take a
break from the NPB current events and take a look at some pitching. If you’ve read this blog more than once, you might have observed that ...
If Carlos Delgado has his way, he will
be the first baseman for the New York Mets
in 2009. And, over the last two months, we’ve seen what happens when Delgado has his way — especially with opposing pitchers.

The Mets rookies are chatting up the veterans
Carlos Delgado and David Wright about the next days
starting pitcher to where is a good place to eat.
The Phillies blew a great opportunity tonight to
really take the steam out of the Mets’ sails
as they lost 6-3, after leading the game by a score of 3-2 until the 8th inning.
It’s a classic baseball story. 1991 World Series,
the Fall Classic. Atlanta Braves. Minnesota Twins. Game 6.
The Minnesota Twins had just dropped three straight to the Braves in Atlanta. They were one game away from being elimnated. The pregame mood was somber.
I know I wanted the Mets to wait
until the season was over, to see what Carlos
Delgado could do during that final month of the season, but no more. The Mets should reward him, and strengthen the team, by picking up his option for next year, as long as Jerry Manuel is the manager next year, too. Degl
Carlos Delgado capped his 2nd two-homer game of
the week with a game-tying solo shot in the
eighth Wednesday, and the Mets tacked on three more runs in the inning and retook a half-game lead in the NL East with a 6-3 win over the Phillies. ...
We'll take that first place back, thank you
very much. Pitching Performance I thought it was going
to be a disaster night, a disaster outing for Johan Santana . I was pretty wrong, I guess. Santana got off to a rocky start, surrendering a two-run home run in the first inning to Ryan Howard. In the second, he let up a solo shot to Jayson Werth. I honestly thought it was going downhill from ...
Bring 'em back or let 'em hit the
road? That's what teams face when deciding on players
with big options. SI.com's Jon Heyman has the rundown on 12 situations.
Mike Pelfrey was outstanding in pitching his second
straight complete game, and Carlos Delgado provided most of
the offense with two three-run homers. >
In the words of Ryan Punzalan: This kid
is a stud. Pitching Performance Mike Pelfrey is a
beast. He turned in his second complete game victory in a row, throwing nine innings of one run baseball. Pelfrey threw only 108 pitches, and needed only 18 to get through the last two innings. He allowed six hits, two of which came in the ninth, where the Astros scored their only run. On what would ...
Well this makes no sense. With John Maine
on the DL, it made it much easier for
the Mets to bring Luis Castillo back from his extended stay on the disabled list. This leaves the Mets with Castillo and Argenis Reyes , who can pretty much only play second base, and Damion Easley , who can play first, second and left. Too bad Daniel Murphy and Nick Evans are seemingly entrenched in left, and ...
"This is beginning to look like the Mets'
year " Thanks, Mark Herrmann. Thanks a lot. No
one is suggesting this is going to end in a championship, or there is something miraculous afoot. But there is no denying strange stuff is happening. I can't deny that. Maybe it's just some bad teams playing poorly, but almost everything seems to be swinging the Mets way lately, especially their own bats. ...
Carlos Delgado is running the show out there.
So says manager Jerry Manuel, a guy who along
with just about everyone else in the Mets organization wasn't terribly impressed with the way the first baseman was carrying himself earlier in the season. ...

Jeez, and I thought the Pirates were bad.

Carlos Delgado’s single in the bottom of the
ninth, gave the New York Mets (71-57) a 5-4
walk-off win against the Atlanta Braves (56-72), to complete a three-game sweep.
USA TODAY has named a minor league player
of the year since 1988. The previous winners: 1988:
Right-hander Mike Harkey 1989: Infielder Todd Zeile 1990: First baseman Tino Martinez 1991: Right-hander Mark Wohlers 1992: First baseman Carlos Delgado ...
Tonight was Mike Pelfrey 's night, from beginning
to end. Pitching Performance Nine very strong innings for
Pelfrey in his first complete game of his career. Simply beautiful. Pelfrey allowed one run in the third inning on a single. The other two runs were added in the sixth, one on a double play and the other on a wild pitch. Pelfrey only allowed three hits, walked three, and you guessed ...
"Oh God, let's get that." - Omar Minaya
, in the SNY booth, 8/20/08.
With Billy Wagner's return from the DL pushed
back indefinitely due to increased inflammation in his elbow,
Carlos Delgado busted out of a slump with a two-run double to trigger a five-run uprising in the 8th as the Mets downed the Braves, 7-3. ...
Wait...the Mets bullpen...didn't give it up??
Mets have rare success with bases loaded, come
back to beat Braves NEW YORK (AP) -- The
Mets got big hits with the bases loaded and their bullpen was outstanding, for a change. If they keep that up, they'll have a much better chance of hanging on in ...

Put away your brooms... Pitching Performance The man
with the quick pitch count, John Maine , labored
through five innings today, as he threw 96 pitches but only allowed two hits. Maine walked four and struck out three, but can't seem to keep his PC below 75 through four innings. Maine didn't factor in the decision, as the Mets offense sputtered and the bullpen played the part of "sieve" and ...

The Mets jumped out, fell asleep, and then
barely hung on to a win in Pittsburgh... Pitching
Performance Another beautiful performance almost slipped through the Mets fingers, but the bullpen staved off the Pirates to secure the win for Mike Pelfrey and the Mets. Pelfrey threw another spectacular game in his best season so far in his young career. Pelfrey threw seven shut out innings, ...
WASHINGTON (AP)-- The Washington Nationals have the worst

How sweep it is... (Cliche, I know. But
it's fitting.) Pitching Performance Oliver Perez pitched a damn
fine game, but was maybe left in a little too long. Perez pitched a scoreless game into the seventh inning, but let in runs when Pete Orr hit a pinch-hit triple to right, scoring two. Another run scored when Carlos Delgado overran a ball at first base and Orr scored from third. Perez went ...

Last night Randy Johnson allowed just two runs
over six innings to beat the Colorado Rockies and
he struck out seven while giving up five hits and one walk. This gave the 44 year old 10 wins for the season, six shy of 300 career wins. If Johnson can hang on just a little bit longer he will hit a number that is becoming more and more difficult as teams are cutting back on the number of ...
