Mets Recap Game #2

Not the type of game you wanted to see following the 1st game. The one person you cannot blame for the loss is the person who took the loss in the 7-1 shellacking by the Reds. Mike Pelfrey(below)managed to pitch 6 innings of 2-run ball and took the loss(2-3) Pelfrey got better as the game moved along and had a 1:3 B/K ratio.

Duaner Sanchez was completely awful. He ...

After a rainout on Friday night, which drew the ire of some indignant fans who like to scream and yell on WFAN, the Mets and Reds staged one of my most favorite Baseball Traditions on Saturday: The Day-Night Doubleheader. In the afternoon half of this mockery, the Mets put up 12 runs, backing Johan Santana, who clearly didn't have his best stuff. This meant that, after Wednesday's game in LA, the Mets had back-to-back games in which they scored 12 ...
