Break Up the Mets!!!
Jason Bay is 2-0. That’s the way I’m gonna look at it. I’ve been so down on Bay but you can’t argue with results and so far Bay has equaled wins.
Quick Hits:
• Pelfrey looked like he got back on track. It looked like more of the same when the D-Backs opened with a triple and had 1st and 3rd no outs but Pelf wiggled out and pitched great after that.
• correct call by Umps and Collins to demand replay on the Ike HR. It hit about a foot above the orange line on the dead CF wall. I gotta say there’s something xtra fun about watching the Umps re-emerge from the runway and signal HR. The crown erupts as the batter cheers and advances from second base. Just the silver lining of a replay HR I guess.
• Paulino pulled an oblique in his minor league assignment which is fine with me. I like Nickeas and have no particular affinity for Paulino. Considering Nickeas is doing a good job handling the staff I have no problem with an extra set of (relatively) young legs behind the plate.
• Brad Emaus was not only offered back to the Jays but TOR paid the 25K to take him back and immediately traded him to COL. I guess the Rox liked what they saw from the kid. His head must be spinning.

Nice win and another step, something to build on. Now lets see if we can win a series.
From the look of it this seems to be an “Easy” part of the schedule. We need to put some wins together here and on the road against the Nats!
I want to see ‘Big Pelf” pitch like that against a “Real team” until I say he has it back together.
This is the D-Backs remeber!

I wonder if Bay plays well this year if there will be a lot of apologies written here. Somebody questioned his toughness here which was as stupid as BIC Willie managed. He got hurt MAKING A CATCH CRASHING INTO THE FENCE.
He likely won’t hit 30 bombs in cavernous Shea 2 but I bet he cranks out 20+ and drives in 85+, which is exactly what this team needs. When he does, I’m sure those who ripped him will act like they never said a thing.
LET’S GO METS!
WELCOME BACK BAY!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Are we undefeated in “Bark in The Park” Games at Shea 2?
Can anybody confirm this?
April 23rd, 2011 at 6:54 pm
FMFR 2 - 0 for bark in the park! Maybe they should hold it more often, like once a series!
I was there for Bays 1st game back, and was telling all the naysayers around me that Bay will make a difference for the better and he’ll produce for us, sure enough he has! We may be a .500 club after all! I’ll be there for the hopeful sweep tomorrow!
LET’S GO METS GO!

There is hope… 3 in a more.
Let’s go Mets!!!
