The Big Pelf version of Mike Pelfrey appears to have returned, as he threw 8 shutout innings in the victory against the same Houston Astros that just won four straight against the Sillies down Philthydelphia earlier this week. While it was a nice win, the Mets still sit far down in the standings.

The New York Mets were defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Sunday afternoon. They were unable to sweep the worst team in baseball, and head home with a bad taste in their mouths. A big homestand against the Florida Marlins and Houston Astros will be a decent test to see if the Mets really have their minds focused on playing October baseball.

The Mets squandered a chance to win back to back games against a team that is one of the worst teams in the National League. Johan Santana wasn’t great, but he battled. The Mets once again failed to score more than 5 runs in a game. They fall back to below .500, at 59-60.

The Mets got a win last night against the Houston Astros. Niese had another nice outing, but took the no decision, as the Mets climbed back to .500 at 59-59. We’ll see how the rest of this week goes, as they have 6 more games against terrible teams, before listing where they stand in the Wild Card.

The New York Mets defeated the Colorado Rockies 4-0 Thursday afternoon with a brilliant shutout performance from Johan Santana. They take a series for the first time since the end of July when they played the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets can welcome in their rival Phillies tomorrow night with some momentum and their reliable knuckleballer R.A. Dickey on the mound.

The New York Mets were defeated by the Colorado Rockies Wednesday night in a 6-2 loss. The Mets looked like they were in line for winning back-to-back games for the first time in about two months, but couldn’t hold on to the lead. They continue to spiral out of contention.

The Mets offense continues to suck more than an Oliver Perez fastball, but Johan Santana showed tonight why he is the Mets stopper, ace, number 1, whatever the hell you want to call him. He was on his game tonight and propelled the Mets to a shutout victory, evening their record at 55-55. They remain 8 games behind the Braves, and moved to 8 games within the Giants for the Wild Card.

The offense continues to suck as bad as Oliver Perez, and the Mets now sit at 53-53. A week before the All Star Break, they were 11 games over .500, but now cannot score runs to save their lives. They continue they’re terrible woes on the road as well.
not many happy people in the Mets dugout these days
What a terrible way for the 2010 Mets to honor those being inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame this afternoon. The Mets didn’t show up, and lost another series to one of the worst teams in the National League. They have fallen into 4th place in the NL East, and only one game above the .500 mark.
Doc Gooden waving goodbye. After today’s game, he won’t watch another Mets game till 2011.
