Mets 7-3 win over Phillies

Yesterday, the Mets beat the Phillies 7-3, winning the series on the road. It's always good to see them win on the road especially against a rival. They're offense was better than it was all season. On Friday, Angel Pagan homered. On Saturday, Lucas Duda hit a three-run double, and Thole, and Reyes both hit RBI singles. On Sunday, Beltran hit 2 HR, David Wright hit a HR (97th RBI), etc. So if the Mets continue to hit, they at least won't end with an embarassing season.

Do the Mets need a new ace?

Now that Johan Santana is out for the year, the Mets ace is R.A Dickey. The should have Dickey in thier rotation, he's good, and reliable but not thier #1 starter.
They should start looking into free agents. Hopefully Santana will be ready for opening day, but assuming he's not, they've gotta get a new ace pitcher. It's time for Omar Minaya (if he doesn't get fired) to start signing big. There a few great free-agents out there this off-season ad the Mets should sign a great pitcher. There a list of good free agents, for an example.
Cliff Lee, Ted Lilly, Aaron Harang, Vicente Padillia, and dontrelle Willis.
If the Mets want a good pitching staff, then they better get these players for next year to replace Johan.

Mets worries continue vs Atlanta

This weekend, the Mets got swept by the Braves. They lost the first game 6-2, the second game 4-2, and the third game 6-3. Both the hitting, and pitching was week despite homers from Wright, Reyes, Duda, and Hernandez. Luis Hernandez fouled a pitch off his foot, and went down. About 5 minutes later he got back up and the next pitch hit a homer. He limped around the bases, and later figured out that he broke his foot, and he's out for season. On Sunday, things didn't look that bad until Derrek Lee hit a grand slam off Manny Acosta in the 7th inning.

Johan is out for season

Yesterday, the Mets announced that Johan Santana will need season ending surgery on his torn antirior capsule. He most likely won't be ready for spring training. The Mets are probaly not making the playoffs so it won't matter but 2011. He might not play untill the all-star break. Hopefully, the Mets will be succsesful without him.

Gee's big debut

Last night, Dillon Gee pitched 7 innings gave up 1 run in two hits. He didn't allow a hit untill the 6th when he allowed a homer to Willy Harris. The Mets pitching rotation should now be.
1. Johan Santana
2. R.A Dickey
3. Mike Pelfrey
4. Dillon Gee
5. Jon Niese

and Mejia should be in the bullpen. Hopefully the Mets will get better pitchers this off- season.

Mets score 18 runs vs Cubs

Yesterday, the Mets beat the Cubs 18-5. Everyone played well. Jon Niese pitched 7 strong innings, and had 2 RBIs. Ruben Tejada hit his first homer, and Ike Davis hit his 17th homer. I liked how they figured out how to do it without they're hottest hitter David Wright, who was benched. They made up well for they're terrible loss on Friday.
