The New York Mets escaped with a 3-2 win in fourteen innings against the Washington Nationals Thursday night.  Damion Easley scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 14th inning to give the Mets the win.

Ryan Church and Carlos Delgado both had one RBI each for the Mets.

Jorge Sosa was the winning pitcher for the Mets as he improved his record to 2-1 on the season.  Nelson Figueroa had started the game for the Mets and pitched pretty good he just didn’t get any run support in the ballgame.  Figuerora pitched seven innings and only allowed three hits and two runs.  His one mistake was in the fourth inning when Nick Johnson hit a two-run home run off him.

The Mets were lucky to come away with the win against the Nationals.  I think if it would have been any other team other then the Nationals, the Mets would have been on the losing side.  What do you think?

The New York Mets only needed the fifth inning to defeat the Washington Nationals by the score of 5-1.  The Mets scored four times in the fifth inning and then held the Nationals scoreless to win the game 5-1.

Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran both hit home runs in the fifth inning.  Reyes’s home run was a solo shot, but Beltran’s home run was a three-run homer that put the game out of reach for the Nationals.  The other Mets run came in the first inning when Ryan Church went deep.

John Maine pitched 6.2 innings to pick up the win and improve his record to 1-1 on the season.  Joe Smith pitched 1.1 scoreless innings and Billy Wagner pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season.

What do you think Mets fans?  Are the Mets going to go on a nice winning streak during the next week?

The New York Mets shutout the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night by the score of 6-0.  The Nationals could never get anything going against Mets starter Mike Pelfrey as he tossed seven innings and only allowed five hits to improve his record to 2-0.  Aaron Heilman and Duaner Sanchez pitched the final two innings and only allowed two more hits.

David Wright went 3-4 with five RBI including a two-run home run in the first inning.  Carlos Beltran was the only other Mets player to record an RBI when he singled in a run in the 7th inning.

With the 6-0 win over the Nationals, the Mets improve their record to 6-6 and are now at .500!  What do you think Mets fans?  Will the Mets be 3 games over .500 at the end of this week?

The New York Mets blew their 3-0 lead in the late innings as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to tie the game, but the Mets prevailed and picked up the win in 12 innings.  I wish the game wouldn’t have went 12 innings, as the Mets should have closed the deal in the 8th inning but give the team credit for coming back and still getting the win.

Jose Reyes scored the winning run in the 12th inning off a Angel Pagan single to centerfield.  Reyes had a wonderful slide into homeplate to score the winning run.  It was a very close plate, and if your a Mets fan you say he was safe, if you are a Phillies fan you say he was out.  All that mattered though was that the umpire called him safe and the Mets went onto win.

Ryan Church had two RBI and Carlos Beltan had one RBI in the game to go along with Pagans RBI.

When they Mets blew their lead in the late innings, they lost the game for John Maine who pitched a good game.  Maine pitched six innings and only allowed one earned run on five hits.  He did have five walks however so that is something that he will need to work on.

Aaron Heilman had the blown save in he game and then Jorge Sosa picked up the win.

The New York Mets made the Philadelphia Phillies pay for their four errors as they scored six unearned runs on their way to a 8-2 victory.  The Mets did exactly what any team should do when the other team struggles to play defense.  Make them pay, and make them pay by scoring a lot of runs.

Mike Pelfrey picked up his first win of 2008 in the game.  Pelfrey lasted five innings and gave up five hits and two earned runs.  Jorge Sosa, Pedro Feliciano, and Carlos Muniz all pitched out of the bullen and pitched very good.

Angel Pagan led the Mets at the plate with two RBI’s.  Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Damion Easley all finished the game with one RBI each.

The New York Mets were leading 2-0 heading into the 7th inning against the Philadelphia Phillies and couldn’t hold their lead as they ended up losing 5-2.  A throwing error by Carlos Delgado was the key play of the game that allowed the Phillies to tie the game up in the seventh, and then they took the lead for good in the next inning.

Scott Schoeneweis took the loss for the Mets as he let three runs score while only recording one out.  Aaron Heilman let two more runs cross the plate in the 8th inning as well.  Starting pitcher Odalis Perez pitched 5.2 innings and only allowed three hits in the no decision.

Ryan Church and Delgado had one RBI each for the Mets.  Not to much offense for the Mets today against Moyer and the Phillies relivers.
