Oh syam my boy I dono WTF is going on but I sure hope it continues, what fun it is once again to watch the Mets. With last night’s Tiger massacre, the Mets improved to 40-39 for the season and have scored 36 runs in past 3 games. It is the first time the Mets have been over .500 since they were 3-2 in early April and they have gone 35-26 in their last 61 games. they’ve hit .283 as a team, and lead the National League with 79 stolen bases this season. Over their last 30 games, our starting pitchers ERA is 2.84 which is the third lowest total in the majors over that span, and they have also allowed three runs or less in 24 of those 30 games.
It’s like everyday is a new adventure, of course Reyes is unbelievable and what will he do is such a rush but then there was Jason bay,
JASON FREAKIN BAY, who ripped that grand salami and then before our heart rate got a chance to come down Beltran did the same thing. I mean come on.
The best part is that he has been going on for a while now, in the past when ever the Mets got us excited they fell apart but this time it feels different. They are beaten very good opponents and commanded games not only at home but on the road as well. I follow the minors very closely so when the “Buffalo Mets” were called on to replace our injured guys I was one of the ones who felt good about it I knew they were going to try like Hell to get it done. And so they have by playing consistently well, of course a big part of this goes to Terry Collins and his staff who have done amazing things with them.
It starts with the pitching and that has for the most part been stellar, did you guys see that. R.A. Dickey strikeout on a 59.0 mph knuckleball?
Ninja I too am really looking forward to that Yankee series should be one heck of a series.
In other things Dwright continues to prepare for his comeback he began hitting of a tee yesterday. Oh and is it just me or do you guys think he is gonna come bask to a monster year.... seriously monster
I have to tell you Nick Evans continues to tear it up in Buffalo I have been telling you guys how well he had been playing, In the month of June, Evans has a pounded out a .489/.566/.733 line and hit in 19 consecutive ballgames, 19 now!
Down in Savannah Darrell Ceciliani returned form the DL yesterday and wasted no time getting back to form by batting out a double to center scoring two runners. Welcome back Darrell.
Spoke to “Captain”Kirk Nieuwenhuis who is out with another shoulder injury, he is still on the DL but felling much better. Remember that name he is an amazing outfielder simply awesome.
Johan Santana is scheduled to return to a mound today, he said he felt really good. I will find out how it went later and get back to you guys
Ike Davis is home in Arizona enjoying a little of moms home cookin and has started a little light rehab.
Taylor Buchholz is also at home in Philly not really doing all that well he still has shoulder weakness.
Jon Niese was examined again in Detroit, found nothing during a battery of tests. Niese is gonna be wearing heart monitor for 24 hours, which will go back to the doctors today. If things stay the same he will make his regular scheduled start on Friday.
In the lineup tonight Ronnie Paulino is catching but also hitting cleanup, that has not happened with a catcher since Piazza like 6 years ago but it makes sense I am not surprised by that move. Hey I have learned never to question Collins anymore the dude knows what he is doing. The rest of the lineup will be Reyes at short, Murphy at first, Tejada at second, Turner at third, Bay, Pagan and Beltran in the outfield. Capuano is on the mound.
Lets keep it going Mets
