Wednesday, July 8, 2009. It’s been hard to write about the New York Mets these days as they have been so awful. However, tonight they got a few hits and beat the LA Dodgers 4-3. It was their first runs since Saturday, first extra base hit since Friday and first multiple run inning in thirty two games! Perez got the victory but was far from good, going only five innings, walking seven and throwing just about as many balls as strikes. Final box score: Dodgers 4 runs, 9 hits, 1 error; Mets 5 runs, 9 hits, 0 errors. Next game: Thursday, July 9th, 7:10 PM, LA @ NY.
Sunday, July 5, 2009. Johan Santana gave the New York Mets seven strong innings, allowing only two runs. But Philadelphia Phillies starter Joe Blanton was even better, allowing no runs. Then the Phillies bullpen finished the job and the Mets were shut out 2-0. The Met bats seemingly have left town. They are now four games out of first and their record has dropped to three games under .500. Final box score: Mets 0 runs, 4 hits, o errors; Phillies 2 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors. Next game: (Monday is an off day) Tuesday, July 6th, 7:10 PM, LA @ New York.
