Mets Lose On HBP; Padres Celebrate Like Little Leaguers

Here’s basically every thing you need to know about last night’s game:
1. When you get only 5 hits in a game, there’s a decent chance that you will lose the game. The Mets got 5 hits and lost to the Padres 2-1.
2. Mike Pelfrey seems to be growing as a pitcher. Pelfrey got [...]

Heilman On The Trading Block; Sosa Waived

“It’s Only One Game”

“It’s only one game.”
Willie Randolph actually just said this in his press conference following the 13-1 path-MET-ic loss at Shea that I just got home from.
Not since George W. Bush was standing on that aircraft carrier with the “Mission Accomplished” banner hanging behind him have more ridiculous words been spoken.
This team has had WAY too [...]
