John Maine pitched 6 solid (which was not the type of food he ate later) shutout innings and the bullpen closed it out for a satisfying 3-2 win. Maine took the mound to begin the seventh but was unable to throw a pitch due to a stomach virus which is making the rounds in the Mets clubhouse. I expect Mike O to take the high road when i comes to explaining how the illness gets around. These things do happen, but what keeps happening that is unexpected is the alarming rate that a Mets club, without El Duque or Moises Alou, keep getting hurt. Angel Pagan who is once again off to a solid start after getting the opportunity to play gets hurt just like he did last year.
Yes i went to the Met game on Saturday and as soon as I saw the lineup to support Tim Redding I knew that winning wasn't on the top of the list of priorities. But i enjoyed myself anyways. Got a beer and sat in my seat until the third inning when i was just going to go wander the rest of the stadium for the remainder of the game. Finally got a Shake Shack burger (very nice) and ended up having about 3 hoegaardens for $7.50 a pop, which isnt that terrible considering. So yes the Mets lost but it was a great Saturday anyways.
Carl Pavano! Wow Mikey O, does that one sting? And whats with Yanks lefty relievers and the word "coke"? You can't make fun of a Mets irrational starting pitcher signing and lose to Carl Pavano on the same day!
The Mets "hellish" schedule continues with 4 games at Pittsburgh. Lets just try to make it back in one piece, and be careful who you sit next to on the plane.
