For me, last night was all about heading out to CitField with my wife (no, that’s not her on the left) to watch the Mets. As I said in my previous post, I have a soft spot in my heart for games like this. Absolute garbage time at the ballyard where the game is a [...]

Just one game on Monday night, and it was a laugher…
The Atlanta Braves had no problem in this one, as they had put up 11 runs in three innings on way to an 11-3 romping of the Mets last night. Garrett Anderson hit a two run home run to cap a four run first and [...]

Pedro Martinez at his age, did something that most probably did not expect, outduel last year’s Cy Young award winner. Pedro Martinez(3-0) worked seven innings while allowing only five hits and one run but struck out nine batters. To be fair, it was against the futile San Francisco lineup, but none the less, Brad Lidge [...]

Brad Penny made his first start since coming back to the National League and it looks like he found his problem, the American League.

Cole Hamels pitched his second straight great game, the only difference was this time, he didn’t let the bullpen ruin it for him. Hamels(8-8) went the distance in a 1-0 win versus the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night while only allowing three baserunners on two hits and one walk and using 118 pitches. The [...]
