Last Night's Action: Ugly

Arizona 13 Mets 2: It is an often repeated baseball axiom that momentum is nothing more than the next day’s starting pitcher. Unfortunately, that proved true for the Mets as any momentum they might have generated from Sunday’s win disappeared when Mike Pelfrey took the mound. Pelfrey was shelled, giving up four runs in a 51-pitch first inning and two more runs in the second, an inning he didn’t complete.

Down 6-0, the Mets’ offense couldn’t do much. David Wright had two hits and Angel Pagan drove their first run in the fifth inning while Jose Reyes doubled home Luis Castillo in the ninth. Fernando Nieve gave up five more runs and the Mets fell to 1-4 since the All-Star break.

    UGH!

  • whitecastlerock

    74 pitches for Pelfrey in 1.1 innings. Manuel should have pulled him sooner. He'll yank Santana when he is pitching a gem for that turd FRod.

    PS: fix the caption!

    "Angel Pagan drove in their only run."

    And somehow they lost 13-2 while scoring only one run. Only the Mets could pull this off!

    Uh, yeah. C'mon, guys, there were 2 runs, you gotta get that to agree in the text.

    This game was awful. Downright painful. The bloody Diamondbacks?
