Unlikely Sights

New York Mets 45-35

Current Streak: W1

There were some unlikely Sights in Nationals Park on Friday. As the Mets and Nationals warmed up, there was tension in the air. As the tension settled,i'll show you what happened. In the 1st, with Ruben Tejada on 3rd and Wright on 1st,Ike "The Franchise" Davis came up. The Franchise knocked an easy ground ball to Christain Guzman at second. Guzman bobbles it and just gets Ike out at first while Ruben comes into score. 1-0 Metros. But the game really got broke open in the fourth inning. It all started with a Wright Way Double. Then,Ike AND Jason Bay got walked bases loaded for starter Luis Atilano. Then Rod Barajas flied out to shallow center,no run scores. Then Gunner Jeff Francoeur Lined out hard to Rookie Ian Desmond. Then came Alex Cora, the guy with a .139 avg and 0 Grand Slams with the bases loaded coming into Friday. That changed dramatically. Cora hits a high fly ball...back goes Morse....he has it! No! in and out of the glove of Mike Morse off the wall and Cora will get a Base clearing 3- Run Triple! 4-0 Mets. Then comes the pitcher Jonathan Niese. Niese pulls right down the shall left field line and hustles to get a Double. 5-0 Metros. Pitching took over after the big inning, as Jonathan Niese had a career night. He struck out a career-high 8 batters and only let 1 Earned run. That Earned Run came in the 7th when he let a Hammer Bomb. In other words, a Home Run by Josh "The Hammer" Willingham. 5-1 Mets.But the Tension grew in the bottom of the 9th, when the Nats got 2 runs to make it 5-3 with men on 1st and second. But Roger Bernadina just took his lead a little to far and K-Rod noticed turned around like a cheetah and got Bernadina picked-off for the last out of the game. And the Mets frowns from yesterday turned into smiles as the got their 45th win of the year.

Hometown Hero

New York Mets Record: 44-35

C urrent Streak: L1 (WAS)

Five Infielders. That's what the New york Mets had in the decisive play of Thurday nights grudge match between the New York Mets and the Washington Nationals. It was a weird sight to see in D.C.. Left Fielder Jesus Feliciano made the move to move to the infield for a even more chance of turning two with the bases loaded and with one out and Virginian Born power-hitting Ryan Zimmerman coming up in the Bottom of the 9th. Earlier In the Game, the Nats had just tied it up 1-1 in the 7th, when Nyger Morgan hit a single to bring in Ian Desmond. That was the Turning Point. And the nats were falling head over heels after they saw another "What Zim Does" Moment. Yep,Ryan hit a fly ball to one of the best arms in the Majors,Jeff Francoeur. Jeff got it there but to late. As Willie Harris jumped up and down and Ryan got the traditional pie-in-the-face,the Mets just Stood in Aw. Their lead had suddenly evaporated. Just like in the Water Cycle. And they couldn't do anything It was about the big cumulonimbus cloud that stood above them. All they could do was watch and watch as their 35th loss sank in to the bottom of their hearts. It was a Sad moment in Mets town.

New York Mets Record: 38-28


Current Streak: W7 (SDG,BAL, and CLE)

On May 17,about a month ago, The New York Mets were as lowly as ever. They were last in the East,could not win games, and were becoming the messy Mets. Their pitching was terrible,as was our batting. David Wright wasn't doing anything Wright, as he was the leader in the NL in strikeouts. John Maine and Oliver Perez were terrible as advertised. But The Mets have proved that a month can change a team. As They've done It dramatically. New York has been Hot, (23-6 since May 21) 2nd in the East, Can win games on the road and at home. Pitching has come together,as additions R.A. Dickey and Hisanori Takahashi to the rotation with the fantastic Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey and newlyfound One-Hit Wonder Jonathan Niese. David Wright has become hot,with 40+ RBI and 12 HR's on the year. And John Maine and Oliver Perez have suddenly, almost fallen off the face of the Earth. But The Mets, still had one more game Vs the Cleveland Indians before going to the Bronx for The Subway Series. Here We Go to Progressive Field. Quickly, The Mets were already in the Run column, as Jake Westbrook watched Jose Reyes trot on to home plate after an Ike Davis Single. But The mets weren't done. With Angel Pagan on 3rd, Jeff Francoeur hit a lonnnng Fly ball to Austin Kearns. Austin catches it routinely but can't get Angel Out as he scores 2-0 Mets. Than, Henry Blanco slapped one into the hole and got himself a RBI as Ike Davis scored. 3-0 Mets after the Top of the 1st. In The Second, The Indians got an arrow into the Mets lead as Jonny Peralta got a Single and Travis Hafner scored. 3-1 Mets. Then In the the 3rd, the arrow got a little deeper As young Ruben Tejada made a rookie mistake and let Shin-Soo Choo score on an Error. 3-2 Mets. The Mets responded as David Wright grouded one to second and Jesus Feliciano scored. 4-2 Mets. Right after Wright, Ike came up. Ike got another RBI single, pushing the Mets' lead to 5-2. In the 5th, Travis Hafner again grounded one to Ruben Tejada,Ruben got him out but Shin-Soo Choo scored. 5-3 Mets. In the 7th, with sidearmer Pedro Feliciano on the Mound,Hafner grounded one to Jose at short, and Rookie Carlos Santana scored. 5-4 Mets. Jose next did a little something of his own. He tripled off the wall in right, scoring Ruben Tejada and getting a HUGE Insurance Run. Elmer Dessens and K-Rod shut down the Indians attack,and getting the Mets their 7th straight. Opinion: With Two HUGE road sweeps,We head to the Bronx. We need to get one or 2 from the yanks and then head to Citi 40-29 at least.
