Gotta love the 8 scoreless innings from Pelfrey. His great Met defense, led by Pagan, definitely helped out but Pelfrey was back on his game again.
It was a Nelson Figueroa homecoming and yet again he got no run support.
I’m happy to see the Brooklyn Product pitching well for other organizations. That dude deserves a chance to play.

“It was an unintentional inside pitch. The catcher set up on the outside but the pitch came inside for strike 3. This will drive a hitter crazy! You just sit there and go "you lucky son of a gun you!”

Now that Jose Reyes has re-injured his oblique and will be sidelined “until healthy” this seems like as good a time as any to pack it in and go home for winter.
Oh sure, we still might get some inspiring performances from our Sept call ups and we might even pull out a dramatic win or 2 along the way. But Reyes’ injury reminds me the risks of letting these guys play baseball far outweigh the pros.
As Met fans we all know the script - star players get hurt around here at an alarming rate. So I’d rather not risk Beltran incurring another season crippling injury to his legs. Or Wright tearing an ACL or Santana, Dickey or Pagan ripping something because they’re playing hard as we lose 90+ games.
If there was a way to petition the Commish’s office to go home early BMF would be the first to sign it.
As for last nite’s game Niese looked great - before looking awful.
Frenchy made a HELLUVA catch going deep into the R/CF alley to snag a ball that had 2 run triple all over it. Instead it was merely a sac fly that should’ve spun momentum back to the Mets but when the very next batter dunked one down the RF foul line to score the run that had just been saved the wheels fell off.
Something tells me we won’t be seeing .500 again this season.

I know it’s crazy to think of but as BMF was reading the housekeeping Minaya did with the media yest I got the strange feeling it was a sign he would return.
That doesn’t make sense logically since the season is far from over and someone has to tell us Tejada is playing over Castillo but it just felt very odd to me to see Minaya speaking for the organization like that.
Ho-hum we lost again, this time behind Pat Misch who actually pitched quite well… But I just can’t believe our season has devolved to Pat Misch!
