Game 52 - Mets 3, Nationals 1 (10 innings)

I just knew that Tim Redding would pick it up against his old team.

I just knew that this team would find ways to put numerous runners on base, most in scoring position and only score one run early on a groundout by Fernando Tatis.

But good to see Wright win the game, especially after a couple of balls dropped in for a very productive 4-for-5 evening and any blast to right center field usually means he's seeing the ball and being patient at the plate.

OK, I don't have much more and the dose of NyQuil (see Walmart version) is starting to kick in. I was happy to see that the rainout forces Santan to get an early start against them and still have something for the Yankees in that band box next weekend.

If I've got it right, he'll pitch the first game against the Flithies next week and the finale in the Bronx.

Needless to say, John Maine goes tonight and has been pitching well as of late. let's hope that trend continues...
