THE GOOD!!!
Reyes continues to be a sparkplug that we need him to be... After slow start to the season, Jose is hitting .311 since the beginning of May, and has really come alive at the plate and on the bases... Defense is another story, however...
Beltran with a big 2-run double in the first, and his partner in pussiness, Delgado, came through with an RBI hit as well...
Johnny Maine with a real nice game... Would be nice if he kept that pitch count down a little more and go more than 6 innings, but I'll always take 6 innings with 2 runs allowed (only 1 earned)... But, in 12 starts this year, Maine has only gone more than 6 innings twice...
Wagner, despite some MAJOR wildness, lowered his ERA to a microscopic 0.36... Just 1 earned run allowed all year...
THE BAD
Not too much today... The bottom of the order (Tatis, Chavez, Schneider) was a combined 0-10, and Endy's average has dropped to under .200..
Didn't see too much of the game, but from what I understand, Tatis continues to really struggle defensively in the outfield... Again, not his natural position, and only being forced out there due to the injuries to Moses, Marlon, etc...
And, where is Nick Evans? If we're going to have him on the Major League roster, he's GOT to be playing... If he's not playing, then send him back down so he can get his regular at-bats in...
THE METS WIN ANOTHER SERIES!!!
That's the key to success, and the Mets take their 3rd straight series... At this point, they just need to continue to do so, and roll of 20 wins in 30 games, or 30 wins in 45 games... Something along those lines that will get them to move beyond the .500 record they've had for more than the last full season now...

I didn't see much of the game, either, but I saw enough to know it was over when it was 5-1.
It's really nice to see the team grab a lead, and not relinquish it the very next inning....lol.
We need to go into San Diego and take 3 of 4, at least. I believe we won't be facing the top of their rotation, which is helpful, and their offense makes the Giants offense look stellar.
We miss Peavy, which is VERY helpful...
Tonight we face a rookie, Josh Banks, who has appeared in 3 major league games this year, and allowed no runs.. Should be interesting to see what this kid has...
Tomorrow is Randy Wolf, a mediocre lefty who we should be able to whoop up on... Plus we have Johan going...
Saturday we face Cha Seung Baek, who I've never even heard of!!! Pitched with Seattle from 2004 through early this year, and somehow now is on the Padres... Career ERA is over 5.00... So, given all that, I'm predicting he throws a 3-hit shutout against us, and Perez gets lit up for 18 runs in the first 2/3 of an inning!!!
Sunday is Wilfredo Ledezma, another lefty who has been a reliever most of his career...
That's some WEAK starting pitching we're facing these next 4 games, and San Diego's offense is the 2nd worst in the NL...
We better take at least 3 of 4 in this series...
Telling me we're facing a rookie doesn't exactly inspire confidence, ding dong. You know how this team generally performs against rookies and/or pitchers they haven't seen very much. Makes you wonder if they know there are such things as scouting reports, film, and game plans, lol.
But I agree, we should definitely set our sights on 3 of 4.
