The Mets have won 4 of their last 5, all against NL East competition.
OK, now we can bash their collective play and ponder on another game where the offense went dead with their best pitcher on the mound.
It's like the bats all figure with Johan on the mound, they only need one or two runs and that will be enough. What it will be is enough to earn Santana the Cy Young hands down.
He should have won it last year, but the lack of 20 wins to go with his league-leading strikeout numbers, innings pitched and a 2.53 ERA (lower than Lincecum and Brandon Webb , who finished second).
But the way the run scored was a laugher with a hobbled Delgado scoring from first on a bad thrown by Pedro Felix and Jason Werth deciding to triple clutch before throwing a strike home from the right field corner that would have had Carlos out by a country mile if thrown earlier...
Classic.
I still haven't received a reply from the church, but I did get horrible service at a Domino's and sent a nasty email after calling the local number and getting the manager's answering machine. The big problem with that is since it was the manager that ignored me and left my pizza sitting on the hot plate while she complained to her friend on the phone, it didn't make sense to complain to her and expect something to get done.
Well, Pelfrey goes tomorrow and a win would get us percentage points behind the Flithies for first place, a place you would think we couldn't inhabit with all the crap you hear and read about. I know this team is flawed, but so is everybody else.
Closing with Oli, I think this article by Adam Rubin of the NY Daily News pretty much says what I was thinking, but adds quotes from the parties involved. For those of you who don't want to jump to the link, here's the main point.
The logic: the struggling southpaw would be better served under the tutelage of pitching coach Dan Warthen and his teammates, including mentors such as Johan Santana, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado.
