In yesterday's game, Tom Glavine pitched five innings, giving up six runs including a 3 run home run to Andruw Jones in a 6-5 loss (box score). Not exactly the way you want your ace pitcher to play. Newsday gives readers some great Mets numbers: "After closing to within one game of the first-place Phillies on July 7, the Mets have lost 15 of 21 and now are closer to the last-place Expos than the surging Braves, who have won five straight, 15 of 19 and 25 of 32." more ›

After four innings, the Mets had a 4-0 run, and when Jae Seo exited the game in the top of the 7th inning, the Mets were ahead 4-1. Immediately after entering the game in relief, Mike Stanton gave up a 3 run homer to the light hitting Endy Chavez. Lucky for the Mets, the Expos played to their record of 33-61 and lost the game in the 8th inning. Wigginton walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Todd Ziele then hit a grounder to Tony Batista, who threw the ball to Nick Johnson. Johnson flat out dropped the ball, allowing Wigginton to score and the Mets eventually won, 5-4 (box score). more ›

Piazza's injury is currently diagnosed as a sprain, but will be re-examined later today. His injury makes one wonder if the Mets can succeed without him. Last year, Piazza missed nearly half the season with a groin injury, which didn't help the Mets. Piazza is playing first base to lengthen his career and keep him playing every day. With the injury, the Mets lose a major cog in their offense. more ›

A week ago, the Mets were in Philadelphia splitting a four game series with the Phillies. Last night, they started another four game series at Shea and got off to a great start. They won the game in 11 innings, 3-2 (box score). With the victory, they are a game out of first place, trailing the Phillies and the Braves. more ›

">their sights set on first place in the NL East. Richard hidalgo extended his hitting streak to 10 games, going 1-5 but the offense came early and often from his teammates. Cliff Floyd, Ty Wigginton and Mike Cameron all homered in the 2nd inning off Phillies starter Brett Myers. Cameron added another home run in the 5th inning. Steve Trachsel pitched 7 innings, gave up a solo home run in the 7th inning, and improved his record to 9-6. more ›

Last night, Steve Trachsel threw 6 2/3 shutout innings and Mike Stanton and John Franco finished the game, extending the Mets streak of shutout innings to 22. The Mets got started in the 3rd inning when Mike Piazza, the man the Mets can always turn to, hit a single to scoring Danny Garcia. Piazza also had a solo home run in the 6th inning. In the 7th inning, with two outs and the Mets up 3-0, Ty Wigginton dropped the ball (literally) to load the bases, extending the inning and ending the night for Trachsel. The error is the latest thing to make Flushing Local wonder if it's time for him to go. Lucky for the Mets, Stanton struck out Jimmy Rollins to end the inning. more ›

Wigginton's home run gives the Mets another chance to get their record to .500, an elusive mark thus far. They look to sweep the 3-game series against the Rockies behind Tom Glavine who will face former Met Shawn Estes. more ›
