Mets BBQ Texas 14 - 5

The Duda Abides

Duda goes 4-5, with 3 Doubles & 4 RBI

The Happy Nightcap

• The Mets buried the Texas Rangers today 14 to 5. Mets Blob did not see this coming. It is nice to be wrong for a change.

• Lucas Duda had a 4 hit game with 3 doubles and 4 RBI’s.

• Carlos Beltran had a 2 run Triple in the top of the first to start the rout. Beltran finished the day with 3 hits and 3 RBI’s.

• Jose Reyes had yet another multi-hit game with 2 runs scored and a stolen base - his 27^th of the season.

• The Mets had 14 hits, going 8 for 14 with runners in scoring position.

Concerns:

• Jon Niese had to leave the game after 5.2 innings with a rapid heartbeat. Mets Blob hopes it was just the extreme heat in Texas and not anything serious.

The Prince of Darkness

Josh Hamilton says his blue eyes are to blame for his awful stats in day games. Before today’s game, Hamilton was hitting .122 in day games and .374 under the lights. In an exclusive interview with Mets Blob, Josh explained that he has always had keener vision at night: “I’m not kidding Blob, I could be driving like 110 in the pitch dark and spot a crack whore rolling off a park bench. It was super-vision man. I once tattooed the Budweiser logo on a fat chick’s ass in total darkness - free hand - with a butane torch and a toenail clipper. It came out perfect, dude. Of course, this was years ago - before I liked Jesus so much.”
