This can not be happening

On Friday the Mets send out Oliver Perez in need of a big win here. this game was not good for the Mets. Perez was only able to go 3.2 innings giving up 6 earned runs. the only good news out of this game was that the bullpen was lights out giving up only 1 earn run. with this lost the Mets lost their first place lead to the Phillies. they had this lead since may 15. with 2 games to go the Mets have to play like they started the season to take the National league East.

Not even Pedro can stop the bleeding.

In need of a win the Mets send Pedro to the mound on Thursday night. he had a quality outting but couldnt get the job done this time around. with 1 man on and 1 out Pedro gets the ground ball that he needs but Castillo loses the ball making a error and causing the inning to contine. the Cardinals get only 1 run that inning but get 3 earned runs off of Pedro cause him his first lose of the season and allowed the Phillies to gain another game on the Mets making their lead only 1 game.

monday nights game

monday was a disaster for Mike Pelfrey and the Mets. Mike Pelfrey started the game and went 5.2 innings and gave up 7 runs 6 of them being earned. Then the bullpen came in the game and couldnt do any better. Guillermo Mota pitched 1 inning giving up 3 earned runs and Dave Williams just called up last week came in to pitch a inning and also gave up 3 earned runs which was not a good start to his debut this year. the good out of this is that Moises Alou continued his hitting streak and brought it to 28 games.
