Interleague Recap: Lost the Battle but Won the War
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 26th, 2009
In Baseball Lingo, Lost the game, Won the Series.
Red Sox scored a bunch of runs during the third game of the interleague series so they avoided the sweep.
Mets finish the 12 game road trip 6-6. Obviously could be better but, most of those teams were playoff caliber teams and we are a bit banged up right now.
- Delgado out a couple months with hip issues.
- Reyes out with calf issues. Came back after a lay off for a game and a half before he was out again. Hope this doesn’t linger after he comes back.
- K-Rod back spasms has started becoming an issue.
- Oliver has McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and In and Out Burger issues.
First Replay Ever at Fenway Gives Mets Go Ahead Home Run
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 23rd, 2009
Omir Santos was in a big spot. The type of spot every baseball player dreamed about for the first time when they were in little league. Down to your last out in the 9th inning, trailing by one run, Gary Sheffield on base (okay, Gary Sheffield probably wasn’t in your dream), and your playing in one of baseball’s hallowest grounds.
Omir Santos childhood dream came true.
Blasting a shot to the top of the Green Monster. Umm, but was it a home run. Ruling on the field, no. Ruling after Jerry Manuel made sure the umps didn’t fuck up the call by using instant replay, YES.
Home Fucking Run. good game Boston.
That was the first ever replay in Fenway Park history. And it is a replay that Boston fans will remember for a long, long time.

Johan gets Win at Fenway Park Despite Obstacles
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox on May 23rd, 2009
And by obstacles I mean the Mets.
Super Dooper poor defense which is becoming the norm is hard to overcome.
Thankfully, Johan Santana is even harder to overcome. Another solid outing limiting the high powered Red Sox offense who were helped by 3 NY errors to only 3 runs.
Plus we got Gary Sheffield jacking another bomb, at 502 he is well on his way to 600.
Francisco’s save kept him perfect on the year in save opportunities. After last years debacle, that sounds too good to be true. But we Love it. And so does Johan.
The issue here is yes, Johan can overcome 3 errors in a game and get a win. I just don’t feel very confident any of our other starters can overcome 3 errors and get a win. After each error, Johan got every batter afterwards in each inning out. That is called perserverance.
LA Sweeps NY
Posted by Señor Met in Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers on May 21st, 2009
Dodgers edged the Mets again last night, 2-1. The win finished off the sweep of the Mets, and that is just terrible.
They didn’t even have Manny Ramirez. No way should a Manny-less Dodger team be shelling out losses to the Mets faster then they give Hollwood Walk of Fame stars to American Idol winners.
Jose Reyes left the game early, still dealing with a calf muscle issue. Without our spark plug, our offense can’t seem to get enough players to cross home plate.
A day off Thursday before we travel to the unfriendly confines of Fenway Park. Boston should be a test for the Mets, as they start their interleague schedule. Thankfully, we got Johan Santana pitching against Boston’s Dice-K so we should be able to win the opener. But we are gonna have to get some offensive production from somewhere.
