Mets Sweep Phillies

Mets Sweep Phillies
Carlos Beltran, David Wright and Jose Reyes all told Jamie Moyer it was about time he retired. Over 46 years old, Moyer got shelled by the Big Three’s homer happy bats.
Basically, Mike Pelfrey won another game getting his usual run support.
K-Rod got his 4th save in 4 days. In those 4 days, we swept both of our rivals the Phillies and Braves.
While the Mets have 4 consecutive wins. They’re over 500 for the first time in awhile, only 1/2 game out of first place. Yes, the Mets are making things happen.
Meanwhile, Mets can sit back and watch the whirlwind that is happening all around the league: Yankees lost 5 in a row. Their Cheater, A-rod, is coming back from injury. Marlins have cooled off and are now in the middle of the pack in the NL East. Dodger fans are all fealing scammed. Boston fans are trying to tell the whole world their two recent championships aren’t totally fradulent.
Delgado Has Wheels : Johan Has Speed
Posted by Señor Met in Johan Santana, Philadelphia Phillies on May 6th, 2009
1-0 HUGE FUCKING WIN
- Delgado Scores From First on a Throwing Error
- Johan Throws 73 of 101 Pitches for Strikes
- Phillies Crumble
Carlos Delgado Safe At Home
Pulse of the Mets:
Ollie in the pen seems to be working. He hasn’t been in a game in a few days and the Mets have won 3 in a row.
Beltran is batting .388. For the first time this year he didn’t get on base, nearly breaking the John Olerud record for consecutive games reaching base. Is John Olerud available to pinch hit if we need him?
Mets are now back at 500. 13-13 and 1.5 games back of Philly with the Marlins in between.
Bullpen is dropping the hammer as of late.
Carlos Beltran Rips Braves
Posted by Señor Met in Atlanta Braves on May 5th, 2009
Carlos Beltran hits 2 home runs and the Mets win.
Maybe that is the secret formula the Mets have been needing?
Maybe David Wright drank some of that secret formula too? He finally broke out of his slump with a home run of his own.
And nothing is better then drinking the Kool-Aid against Atlanta…in Atlanta.
J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets
Posted by Señor Met in New York Jets, Washington Nationals on April 26th, 2009
The New York Jets made the biggest splash of the 2009 NFL draft by trading up from pick 17 to pick 5 to get USC quarterback Mark Sanchez.
This is HUGE. Sanchez has skillz, a strong arm, big game potential, class act, intelligence, and charisma.
New York Jets Mark Sanchez
Needing a quarterback, the Jets landed the top QB in the entire draft. And they gave up so little to make it happen. They swapped first round picks, gave up the 2nd round pick, and gave the Cleveland Browns 3 defensive players. None of those 3 defensive players were going to be starters.
Meanwhile, the suddenly rebounded New York Mets pasted the hapless Washington Nationals 8-2. The Nat’s couldn’t field, couldn’t hit, and to nobody’s surprise couldn’t pitch.
Beltran had 3 hits and leads the National League in batting average. Ryan Church came alive with a few RBI’s.
And most importantly, Mike Pelfrey had an outing that will secure his spot in the rotation… for the time being.
Johan K’s 10
Posted by Señor Met in Washington Nationals on April 25th, 2009
Johan Santana adds to his Cy Young resume giving up only one run to the Washington Nationals.
Meanwhile, the Mets offense does the absolute minimum like usual when Johan is on the mound. As bad as going 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position and stranding 13 base runners sounds, the Mets offense actually looked stellar compared to the inept Washington team that went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
Thank goodness we are playing Washington or the Mets would have blown another pitching gem by Johan. Hopefully, the Mets can use this win to gain some positive momentum.
Happy Birthday Carlos Beltran!
