The New York Mets were defeated by the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Tuesday night. A pitcher’s duel came to an end in the 9th, as David Wright made a costly error that sent the Mets packing. They are now 1-5 on their road trip.

The New York Mets lost to the San Francisco Giants 6-5 Sunday afternoon in another wild contest. The Mets rallied from a 4-0 deficit in the later innings, eventually taking the lead, but only to come up short in the end. If you couldn’t catch the game, here’s what you missed.

This is a purely speculative article, but it makes sense on a lot of levels. Free-agent-to-be Cliff Lee currently pitches for the last place Seattle Mariners. If the Mets want to have a shot at making the playoffs, making a splash by trading for Cliff Lee this summer would give them an excellent chance.
The New York Mets topped the Cincinnati Reds in a 5-4 win on Tuesday night. John Maine continued his improvement on the mound, throwing six innings giving up only one earned run and striking out six, showing that he deserves to stay in the Mets rotation. Rod Barajas had the game winning homerun in the top of the ninth inning.

I don’t want to steal Dave’s article, but I figured since this is a New York sports blog, there should be a prediction for both baseball teams. Here’s what I think the 2013 New York Mets roster will look like:
The New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-5 in Game 2 of the doubleheader. Oliver Perez was atrocious tonight, walking four batters without making it past the 4th inning. Hisanori Takahashi picked him up, throwing 3.1 strong innings in relief, allowing the Mets offense to score some more runs in the process. David Wright had three hits and drove in four runs, making him the major contributor of the offense. Ike Davis knocked in three runs as well. Mets have now won six straight games and will attempt the sweep of the Dodgers tomorrow afternoon.
