I would like, at first, to take this oppurtunity to once again say that West Coast games are evil. West coast night games, because end times of midnight are either slept through, or watched, in which case I tend to be unpleasant in the morning. West coast day games are worse. They tease you, like a girl who merely wants free drinks at the bar. Maybe you see a little skin, the eight and ninth inning after getting home from work. Just enough to get you in the mood, but you end up with not enough baseball, and dissapointment.

Anyways, the Mets won, since Oliver Perez was in the dugout and not on the field. Another nice start from John Maine, who gave up two runs, one earned, and seven hits in six innings. His unearned run came off a Reyes error in the third. But he’s keeping his walks down, and he managed to only give up one run via the error, where lesser pitchers would get all frazzled and implode. I’m still looking at you Mr. Perez. Dirty Sanchez went two, and gave up one run. Billy gets the save, giving up one hit. His ERA is now 0.38.

Aside from making his tenth error of the season, Reyes looked good. He started the game off with a double, then scoring on a Beltran double. And made up for the error via a two run homer to score Maine. Apology accepted. He finished 3 for 4 (no triples) and stole a base. David Wright got hit by a pitch, which is kryptonite to him, as he then went 0 for 4. Delgado went 2 for 4 with a double and a RBI, and Beltran went 2 for 4 with a double and 2 RBIs. The resurgence of the Carloses continues to prove a key in the Mets performing, hopefully they can keep it up. If both they and Reyes have finally found their groove, then the team will be able to handle things such as Ollie not knowing how to pitch easier.
