What We Have Here is… Post-Game: Pirates 5, Mets 4

image

Well…that happened. Johan Santana finally had his run support, and in a rare moment of WTF-ery, he practically gave it all away himself tonight.  Taking a 4-0 lead into the 4th inning, he quickly gave up 2 runs, but then managed to hang on until the 7th, until Michael McKenry blasted a 2-run homer over …

Hefner was placed on waivers twice this offseason, and was eventually picked up by the Mets. Hefner was brought in to be insurance for the starting rotation, and he has done …

KRod Shows Aramis the Family Room. Post-Game: Mets 3, Brewers 1

11022724-large

Terry Collins was right…twice.  First, he stood up for Miguel Batista, saying he was going to get many more chances to prove himself as a starting pitcher.  Well, tonight he did more than prove himself, throwing 7 scoreless innings of 4-hit ball.  He stymied the Brewers tonight, with Tim Byrdak and Bobby Parnell taking care …

Pass the Salt!! Mets 5, Phillies 2

In what could be called a rather dumb move, I boldly told Twitter that if Mike Nickeas saved/won this game I would “eat his glove…with salt”.  Welp…pass the salt, folks.  While Nickeas may not have driven in the winning runs (I’ll get to that in a bit), he was a vital part of the Mets’ …
