I'm heading home a day early! I have to catch a 6:40 am flight tomorrow morning, so I am no mood to write much. The Mets split with the Buc-os, winning a 5-4 game in 11 innings, and then losing an error-plagued Oliver Perez wild-o-thon 13-1. The second game was so bad, they had to use two starting pitchers. Nelson Figueroa came in to bail out Perez in the second and allowed two more of his runs to score, and then allowed another of his own before Jorge Sosa really put it out reach.
The Mets are still only a half-game behind the Phillies, who took over first place from the Marlins after Florida was swept by the Dodgers. This is looking like the order that we might be seeing for quite a while. The Nats plain old stink, and Atlanta's bullpen has been decimated; they are losing a ton of 1-run games on the road. The Marlins will probably settle out to fourth place eventually, unless we beat them there. We look pretty mediocre. We're a .500 team, and probably will be unless Petey gets healthy and contributes. Maybe Pagan can play first when Alou returns, because Delgado looks like he's lost it completely. I don't know. We look like the US economy, barely staying above water but with not much in the way of future prospects.
Home, Northwest, and make it snappy!
