Mets No One Trick Pony, Go On Binge To Devour Twinkies!

Johan Santana struggles? So what. The Mets are no longer a team with only one quality starting pitcher. With the maturation of Mike Pelfrey, and now Jonathon Niese, the Mets continue to win series after series and are sending notice to all the pundits that they are a team that will be in it for the long haul. Bring on the dog days of summer. With the Mets offense flexing some muscle, the Mets beat the Twinkies 6-0, behind the arm of Jonathon Niese. Jeff Francoeur, who's streakiness bedevils all batting coaches, got the Mets on the board in the 4th with a two run shot to left field. David Wright and Issac Davis hit back to back HR's in the fifth. Rod Barajas capped the scoring with an rbi single, the Mets fourth straight hit of the inning. The Mets who won series from both the Tigers and Twins on their 4 and 2 homestand improved to 28-12 at Citifield. Not to shabby. Think that doesn't get into a team's head? I beg to differ. Here is hoping they land Cliff Lee which would allow them to put Hisanori Takahashi into the bullpen where his versatility would be an asset.  With Carlos Beltran improving daily during his minor league rehabilitation, The Mets look to be in great shape to make a run this summer.

The Hebrew Hammer nails Pods in the 11th, Mets win 2-1

Isaac Benjamin " The Hebrew Hammer" Davis crushed a 1-1 off speed pitch deep into the night to give the Mets their ninth straight win at  Citi Field. Davis hit his 7th homerun into the upper deck in right field to back the stellar pitching of Mike Pelfrey and the New York Met's bullpen. Jose Reyes hit his second homerun of the season in the bottom of the 7th to knot the game at 1-1. Reyes had been in a mini slump but seemed to break out tonight with a 2-4 game. Pelfrey was outstanding again, pitching 9 innings of one run baseball. Elmer Dessens got the final out in the 11th to earn his first win as a Met.

Mets feast at home. Gorge Marlins 6 to 1.

The New York Mets continued to feast on their opponents at home, turning back the Marlins 6 to 1. Jonathan Niese, in his first start since coming off the DL, pitched a strong 7 innings, giving up only one run while striking out six batters. Ike Davis went 4 for 4 and David Wright drove in three runs, hitting his second homerun of the season at Citi Field and his tenth overall. Rookie Ruben Tejada drove in a run with a double and Jeff Francouer continued to contribute with his 30th run batted in.

Home sweet home!!!! Henry White does it for The Mets!

After not hitting a walk off homerun at Citi Field in 2009, The Met's catching corps has done it in consecutive games. Henry Blanco hit his first homerun as a Met, to help pull The Mets within one game of the first place Phillies. The Mets have won consecutive games with a walk off homerun for the first time since Mike Piazza and Robin Ventura performed the feat back in 2001.
