At least Maine kept the lead

Where do they think the ball hit? There looks to be at least 3 feet between the fence and the back wall.

Walks and getting behind in the count hurts the Mets again. Lo Duca set up outside and Mota came inside on the pitch.

What could it be, though? I doubt he's pressing at Shea. He has an MVP type season and the fans loved him this year. Shea is not a hitters park, so that would account for the difference in the power numbers between home and road.

I understand Shea's not a hitters park for power. It doesn't explain the poor batting average.

I know it's unfortunate to think this way, but when I see Pujols stand in the box and see how immense his quads are, it makes me wonder how they have gotten so big. His legs are unnaturally huge.

I'm sure it's just protein powder, though.

It's spelled HGH

Do you throw Wagner next inning with the Cards big hitters coming up if the Mets don't score here?

no. He's the closer.

Franco looked bad that AB

It's pathetic watching the Mets blow this game.

Bad move by Willie bringing in Wagner.

Mets let this crucial game get away from them. Now we got a series.

[frankb03]

Mets blew this game due to two reasons. Their lack of ability to throw strikes and not getting batters out when they were ahead in the count.

Mota was 0-2 to Spiezo. Wagner was 0-2 to Taguchi.

In general a piss poor pitching performance by the Mets.

Mets had many opportunities to put this game away. When you let a team hang around they'll usually come back to beat you. That's exactly what happened tonight.

This is a game the Mets needed with Trachsel and Puke Perez their next two starters.

definately 2-0 with Carpenter not pitching till game 6 would've been lights out. I missed a lot of the game anyway Randolph could've worked the bullpen better or was it just bad pitching?

The pitching was horrible. PATHETIC.
