- Mets 8, Twins 1: The Mets went 16 days between wins that came on days other than a Friday. What does that prove? Nothing, except that they hadn't been winning that frequently. John Maine put together a good start Monday, however, and the Mets followed suit. Carlos Delgado improved on his .290 on-base percentage by going 2-for-4 with a home run. The other half of Brothers Carlos, Carlos Beltran, took until the eighth inning to get his only hit. Mets fans will want him to wake up before they get confident this rough stretch is over.
With the Mets outfield still affected by injuries, Beltran needs to step up. His problem is his banged-quad, an ailment that is clearly affecting him at the plate. Who knows when Moises Alou will return? Shawn Green will likely see a decline after his hot start. Carlos Gomez has been all but useless. Why not try Ricky Ledee instead? The journeyman outfielder hit a home run to help his cause Monday. On Tuesday, the Mets face American Leauge Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana. Good luck with that.

Carlos Gomez has been all but useless
Think we could let a 21-year-old get 100 plate appearances in before we declare him useless?
You mean there's no trivial, boring Yankees news that could supercede the Mets win? I thought placing Yankees information uber alles was within Gothamist's style guide.
METS SUCK!

Come on Boorstein, you don't need "Guest" if you're posting news bits on Gothamist, do you?
"Carlos Gomez has been all but useless."
Hmmmm...

Tom, do you even *watch* baseball?
Guest...um...the Yankees had the day off.

Um..uh.. that hasn't stopped the Mets from playing second fiddle to the Yanks on the 'mist before. Unlike Boorstein I follow more than just my preferred team and knew the Yank$ had the day to rest (or, you know, fool around on their wives).
great game, bats were nice and hot. and f the yankees. you were in the cellar for awhile to, so don't make the mets stinking for a week show how awful they are. remember: the subway series is split.
Let's lay off the Yankees and their wives stuff... I mean, at least A-Rod's girlfriend was of age (cough... Paul... cough... Lo Duca.. cough).
yeah, but at least she was a woman by birth!
