As the saying goes, sometimes you’re the windshield, and sometimes you’re the Mets.

The Padres completed a four game sweep of the Mets, but on the plus side, the Mets finally scored enough runs to use the word in its plural sense. So hooray for that.

Carlos Delgado had his 1900th career hit, on a 3 for 4 day including a double and a triple, Endy and Jose pulled a double steal, even Easley had hits. The team had 3 doubles, a triple, and four stolen bases. Four of their RBIs came with two outs. And…they still lost.

Pedro was…lets say, respectable. He gave up ten hits (a lot), but struck out four and kept it to a reasonable four runs. Which since the Mets had six runs, was acceptable. The bullpen started off well enough, Vargas took down the sixth inning nice and quick, and Show gave up one hit and no walks in the seventh. Then Dirty struggled a bit, and Billy came in early to pull a nice little four out save. Instead, he gave up a three run homer to Clark, and goodbye victory.

Such a tough loss, since until that homerun it was actually looking like the Mets would avoid the sweep. Considering how well Wagner has pitched thus far, its hard to put too much fault on him. Sanchez put him in a tight spot, and after that not much more to say then maybe it just wasn’t Wagners night. Being that entering the game he had an ERA of 0.36, if anyone is carrying their own weight thus far this season, its him.

The team is off tomorrow, but the day should be filled with rumors of firing, demotions, and thoughts on moving players to AAA.
