Daniel Murphy

This guy is a good hitter.

I might even write a post someday soon, or update the Met Killers, or the ejection list. Soon though, don't pressure me.

Mets-Thing in Tom Cruise control

I guess I knew what I was talking about all year. As soon as Perez and Delgado started playing well, the Mets started winning. It wasn't that hard to figure out who was killing the team.

While I've basically been on a Mets hiatus lately, blog wise, I've realized that it's hard to come up with material when the team is going well. This blog is obviously here for my ranting when I want things to change.

It's not as if the team is perfect now by any stretch, but I don't need to beat the bullpen down anymore than it already is.

Pedro though, doesn't look good. He looks nervous out there. Scared even. I think he knows that he's finished. He's just out there fighting with the little he has left, just hoping every pitch doesn't get hit out of the yard.

Tonight the Mets won a game with only two pitchers: Oliver Perez and Aaron Heilman. Aaron got a 2-inning save. And, they didn't allow a run.

Like this guy: Brad Ziegler of the A's. Tonight, like Heilman, he also got a 2-inning save. However, unlike Heilman, he hasn't allowed a run yet in his major league career, and only allowed one earned run in AAA this season before he got called up. So Ziegler's pitched 61.1 innings this year and has allowed 1ER. And, that one earned run was allowed on May 11 against New Orleans, the Mets' AAA team, just about three months ago.

I also watched parts of War of the Worlds tonight. It was on ABC. It was bad, but me and Pops kept flipping back, hoping for more gore. Then, as it turned out, it was a Speilberg movie, so no wonder it sucked.
