At least Maine kept the lead

Mets pen is solid.

5 walks in 3 innings is bad in part because it increases pitch count, although one of those walks was to Pujols with the bases empty. The Mets should not be throwing strikes to Pujols, in a tight game, with the bases empty. Period.

That being said, he does need to work on his command, especially early in the count and my guess is that nerves and inexperience played a little part there.

Another point regarding Maine. He only gave up 2 hits. The walks killed him.

You have to see Reyes, in person, go from home to third or first to home to really appreciate how he runs. It ranks up there in my book with watching Strawberry hit a HR when he was with the Mets.

Mets need to get on the road so Beltran will start hitting.

Well....he did win the game for them last night.

I saw that stat last game. Beltran .320 at home and .217 at home. That is more than a fluke. There is something to that.

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.

Other than that, it could be the urine smell and planes flying overhead.

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.

shit. Crunch time.

his legs, forearms are abnormally large. Even his head is big.

The Mets are gonna get screwed on this call here.
