Marlins beat Dickey

Last night in San Juan, the Marlins beat the Mets 10-3. R.A. Dickey pitched 5 innings, and allowed 5 runs, getting his first loss since July of last year. It was because he didn't have good command of his knuckleball, so he had to throw more fastballs. It's not good when they get to his 60 MPH knuckleball and then you start pitching an 80 MPH fastball. To fool hitters, you don't wan't to only have a 20 MPH between your fastball and knuckleball. You should try to pitch around a 55 MPH knuckleball, and a 88 MPH fastball. Now you've got a 33 MPH difference.

Mets go 13-5 in interleague play

As the Mets rapped up a great interleague by beating the Twins 6-0. The great record could be because their opponents didn't know them yet. They didn't know what pitch the pitcher would that situation, and they didn't know well what pitches the hitter could/can't hit. They won 5 of 6 series, and the only loss came vs the Yankees, because the Yankees had already faced the exact same pitchers.

Angel Pagan is the most underrated player in the MLB

This year, Angel Pagan is hitting .302 with 4 HRs and 35 RBIs in 69 games. Not only I think he is the most underrated player in baseball, he also is tied for the most athletic player on the Mets with Jose Reyes. He is also a great eample for Jerry Manuel. I think by the way he's playing now, he could be an all-star.

mets second base problems

The mets don't really have a good 2nd baseman. Alex Cora isn't really what the mets need. Therefore, they should trade Cora and John Maine to Tampa, and get Ben Zobrist,and send Tejada to triple A.

Mets should get Cliff Lee

Cliff Lee has begged the Mariners to leave Seattle. The Mets want him badly which is a good thing so they could then move R.A. Dickey to the bullpen so they'll have a strong rotation, and bullpen. Who should the Mets trade for him? They should trade them Bobby Parnell, and Ruben Tejada. Bobby Parnell, and Ruben Tejada are both young, and will have a bright future. Jenry Mejia is really young and has around a 97-MPH fastball, so he'll practice in the minors, and will become a starter.

Mets 8 game winning streak

The Mets had an 8 game winning streak, before losing to the Yankees 5-3. What were the keys to it. The pitching was O.K, but the hitters gave them about 8 runs a game. When the pitchers pitch well and the hitters score enough runs, then your team is gonna win. Also, the sweep over Clevland reminded me a bit about last years Mets. They have 2 superstars injured,(Grady Sizemore, and Asdrubal Cabrera) and they're not playing well. Last year, the Mets were O.K, until everyone started to get injured and they ended the year 70-92.

Mets beat Indians 7-6

Last night, the Mets beat the Indians 7-6, winning their 5th straight. Unlike the whole season, the Mets scored runs to support Johan Santana. That's how you win a game. Santana usually pitches around 7 scoreless innigs, but the Mets only score 1 run. So in the 8th or 9th, the bullpen would give up only 1 run, and the opponent will tie it. So, if the Mets want to keep up Santana's 5-3 record, they need to score more runs.

Jon Niese pitches a 1-hitter

Yesterday, in game 1 Matt Latos pitched a 2-hitter and retired his last 22. And in game 2, Jon Niese pitched a 1-hitter. Is it that the hitters stopped taking drugs or is it that Citi field is a pitchers ballpark? Its both. Citi field is a pitchers ballpark, and all the hitters stopped taking drugs. You could tell because there were 2 perfect games, 1 no-hitter, and Armando Galarraga should've had a perfect game.

Mets vs Marlins

This weekend, the Mets start a 3 game series against the Marlins. Are these 3 games must wins? In the NL east, the Mets are a half game behind the Marlins, and 5 games behind the Braves in 1st place. If the Braves will loose 2 out of 3 and so do the Phillies, then if the Mets sweep the Merlins, they'll only be 2 games out of first. So if the Mets could beat the Marlins, then they'll have a chance to be in 1st place alone.
