Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Angel Pagan went 4 for 6 with 4 RBI including 2 doubles.
  2. Daniel Murphy drove in 4 runs on 2 clutch 2 run singles with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
  3. Jason Bay went 1 for 2 with 4 walks and an RBI single.

Wow…that is all I can say, WOW.

This team is doing everything right. They are working the count and just hitting line drives. This team is so clutch getting endless hits with 2 outs and RISP. This is the most I have enjoyed watching this team in a long time.

Pagan is starting to get some hits off of left handed pitchers, that is great for him to start getting hot.

Cap was good tonight, his only blemish was 2 Miguel Cabrera homers.

The Mets were 10-17 with 2 outs tonight, that is a huge number.

I am Speechless…the AMAZIN’ METS ARE BACK!!!!

Grade for the Game: A+

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. R.A. Dickey was phenomenal going 8 innings, letting up 3 hits, 1 run, and struck out 9 Athletics.
  2. K-Rod blew the save in the 9th for his 3rd of the year and his 2nd in a row.
  3. Justin Turner had a clutch go-ahead RBI single and a walk-off Hit by pitch.

Dickey had so much movement tonight and honestly had no-hit stuff. His Knuckler was moving so well. He made one mistake to Suzuki that was a homer and Hairston lost the other ball in the lights. Too bad that K-Rod blew the save for him.

Turner finds new ways to drive in runs every night. Tonight he drove in a run on a HBP and he is the Mets most clutch player so far this year.

Bay regressed again, so I don’t know when he will return to his old form.

The Mets bullpen (besides K-Rod) was so good tonight not giving up a run over 4 innings and striking out 5.

They had the strikeout pitch going tonight striking out 16 Athletics.

Grade for the Game: B+

By the Numbers:

  • Jon Niese started and was great going 6 1/3 innings letting up 5 hits. 1 run (0 earned), 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts.
  • Jose Reyes had 4 hits, an RBI, and 2 triples today.
  • Josh Thole and Daniel Murphy each had 3 hits. Thole had 3 RBI while Murph had one.
  • Turner and Bay had 2 hits a piece.
  • Tejada had an RBI hit as did Angel Pagan.
  • The bullpen struggled as Buchholz gave up 3 runs and Beato gave up 1.

Jon Niese was great today throwing a career high 122 pitches. He got out of all of the jams he pitched into only faltering after a Reyes error.

Speaking of Reyes, as Gary Cohen said we are running out of adjectives to describe Jose and the price grows higher every day. He had yet another great game.

Thole had a huge day breaking out of a long slump he also did not strikeout. Whatever tinkering he did with his swing, it worked.

The bullpen is in a rut right now. It just gives up run after run almost blowing an 8 run lead today. If they don’t straighten up, this team will not win games.

I feel Bay getting into a hot streak now with 2 straight games with RBI hits.

The Numbers:

  • Justin Turner was spectacular again knocking 3 hits including an RBI double.
  • Dickey looked like the man from last year going 6 innings only letting up 4 hits, 2 walks, and struck out 6.
  • Daniel Murphy homered tonight. A go ahead shot in the 6th.
  • Beltran, F-Mart, and Pridie all had hits tonight.
  • O’Connor, Izzy, and K-Rod all pitched scoreless innings to end it.

Don’t worry K-Rod, the saves are ok at Yankee stadium this year. Castillo is gone remember?

Dickey was phenomenal tonight getting back to what he did at his best last year. His best signs were only the 4 hits allowed and that he struck out 6 Bankee, I mean Yankee batters. His only bad mark was that homer from Texiera. IT IS HIGH IT IS FAR IT IS GONE!! OH BABY MARK SENDS A TEXT MESSAGE, YOUR ON THE MARK TEXIERA. (I couldn’t resist making fun of that ridiculous broadcaster.)

Turner may be the hottest player in the NL right now. RBIs in 6 straight games, unbelievable. Player of the week?

Murph’s homer was clutch and it got Dickey a win that he desperately needed.

Jose Reyes made an amazing game saving catch in the 5th to throw out a runner. That is why he needs to be resigned.

THE YANKEES LOSE THEEEEEEEE YANKEES LOOOOOSE! Wow I really need to stop making fun of that man….

Come into Yankee stadium and taking game one from the bombers is a huge statement from this team. And my friend whose a Red Sox fan greatly appreciated it.
