I'm on the west coast this week on business, so we'll dispense with the last few games quickly:
Friday, April 18th: Mets 6, Phillies 4. Santana beats Hamels as both bullpens get shelled. Heilman gives up another homer. He is a mess.
Saturday, April 19th: Mets 4, Phillies 2. Oliver Perez returns to form, at least until the next game. No one will be stopping Chase Utley in his rampage through the pitching staffs of the National League this year.
Sunday, April 20th: Phillies 5, Mets 4. The Mets erased a 4-0 deficit before Pedro Feliz homered off Pedro Feliciano. So, Pete Happy hits a homer off Pete Happy Person. And I am not happy. Nor am I Pete. But I am a person, as far as I know. Oh, and Utley hits two more homers, just for the hell of it.
Monday, April 21st: Cubs 7, Mets 1. Willie goes to the Heilman well again, and gets as much good water as usual. The Cubs blow open a 2-1 lead in the 8th with a 5-run inning off Aaron The Terrible. Felix Pie (Spanish for Felix Foot) uses his hands to bash a three-run homer.
Tuesday, April 22nd: Cubs 8, Mets 1. Joe Smith and Jorge Sosa were the guilty parties in this one. Nelson Figueroa left with a 3-1 deficit. The Mets get all of two runs and ten hits at Wrigley.
The Marlins have kept on crushing bad teams (I thought they were one, but maybe not), and have their 1-1/2 game lead back, with Atlanta and Philly a half game back of us. Now it's on to Washington. You think the pope left any chaw in the locker room?
