Clearly, you can't win them all. For the Mets, that's always the case when Victor Zambrano pitches. Last night, with Zambrano on the mound, the Mets lost to the Braves, 7-1. Zambrano, who won his last game, allowed seven runs and hits, including three home runs over his short five inning outing. Kyle Davies stymied the Mets, allowing only one run and three hits in his first career complete game. The one run was the lowest run total for the Mets all season. The lone Mets run came on a Chris Woodward homer in the 3rd.
While Andruw Jones smacked two home runs and Adam LaRoche went 3-4 and hit the 3rd homer for the Braves, things weren't all good. Marcus Giles sprained his left middle finger, adding to the early injury woes for the Braves. Shea-favorite, Larry "Chipper" Jones is out with a sprained right knee and ankle. The Mets weren't injury free either as Carlos Beltran has a strained hammy, Cliff Floyd has a strained rib cage, and Anderson Hernandez had back spasms last night. Gothamist hopes that injuries don't curtail the hot start the Mets have had so far.
Tom Glavine faces Tim Hudson in the rubber game this afternoon. It's the last time the Mets will be at home this month. Tomorrow they start their long road trip in San Diego.

My ONLY complaint with Omar Minaya (love everything else he has done so far) is getting rid of Jae Seo and keeping Zambrano. Maybe that was his way of keeping Rick Peterson-but who needs him anyway...
It's very odd... When Zambrano took the extra time to come out of the dugout (I think it was the third inning?) and took the mound, he immediately threw two pitches that barely reached home plate.
Something wasn't right with him, and they should've pulled him right then and there. I'm kind of surprised they let him let as many runs go by as they did before pulling him. He looked slow and clumsy on the mound, and when he took his at bat afterwards, he couldn't have moved any slower to the plate.
Something wasn't right with him and I'd be surprised if we don't hear something about an injury of some kind in the next few days.
perhaps it's his left hammy that's acting up? the one that delayed his first start?
I think you're right... Whatever it is, something was definitely wrong. His first two pitches at the top of the inning barely made it 58 feet...
Zambrano has never been a strong pitcher, but this was really bad start, even for him.
They just lost to Atlanta again today, but this time because of a lack of offense. They might have players on the DL, but they still have a good batch of batters on hand... Let's hope this isn't the return of the Mets that we a know and perpetually frustrate us.
