Augie Ojeda (left) reaches base again.Mets @ DBacks series wrapup....
Game One: I like the new DBacks uniforms. A more traditional look, and they've lost those awful pastel colors they used to have. In the game, the Mets simply took Micah Owings out back, scoring three runs in the first inning, and never stopped. Alou returned and just started raking, as predicted. I just hope Willie is smart enough to only play Alou about four times per week. Otherwise, he'll just break down again.
Game Two: Pelfrey decided to revert to his old form, allowing thirteen baserunners in five innings, striking out only one. Not hot. The Metsies actually battled back against Brandon Webb, but couldn't finish him off. Instead, it was the DBacks that put the game away by taking Duaner and Schoeneweis out back in the eighth inning. And of course, you can't forget the newest Met Killer, Augie Ojeda, who probably had the best game of his career. He drove in six runs, made diving plays, and banged Schoeneweis' wife after the game.
Game Three: This game was somewhat unfortunately decided by Conor Jackson's throwing error. Unfortunate only for the DBacks. Augie Ojeda had two more hits, and of course Micah Owings had a pinch hit. But for the Metropolitans, Ryan Church continued to pimp, gunning another baserunner down.
Two out of three from the best team in baseball, including facing their top three pitchers, on the road. Good weekend for Los Mets.
*The DBacks have my current favorite baseball announcer, Mark Grace. The guy just doesn't care, he'll say anything, and he's usually funny about it. He'll mix in legit baseball slang, and never annoys the shit out of me.
*I hope everyone liked the first post by Mets-Thing correspondent, Turn a Quick Two. His rambling rants, full of pure adrenaline and hatred should randomly appear on this blog.
