A Clockwork Orange and Blue

 The Mets medical staff is trying hard to restore their reputation. After Carlos Beltran woke up with eye problems today, doctors from The Hospital for Especially Wrongheaded Diagnosis sprung into action. "We knew that in order to get a good look at Carlos' eyes, we had to restrain him in a special chair." said Dr. Cereal Boxdegree. " In early 2010, he escaped and had his own doctors operate on his knee. We really can't afford him such freedom at this time. The plan is to remove his eyes and send them to New York for examination. If necessary, we will send the rest of Carlos up on a later flight."

Astros 7 - Mets 3

Astros 7 - Mets 3

Deep thinker R.A. Dickey

• The Astros jumped on R.A. Dickey today, scoring four runs in the first inning. In total, R.A. gave up 6 runs and 11 hits in six innings of work. Dickey has struggled all year and, outside of his beard, does not resemble the pitcher he was last season. Dickey’s season stats are ugly: 1-5 with a 5.08 ERA.

• The Mets were asleep at the switch against J.A. Happ who looked ripe for the taking. The Mets were 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position and looked lifeless.

Outside of Murphy going deep and Reyes’ 2 hits, not much was going on.

• Jason Bay stuck out on a pitch today that was head high. After his blast last night, we were hoping Bay would keep it going today. There are no more excuses for Bay who has been useless since signing with the Mets. Let’s stop hearing that he hustles and is a good guy. We didn’t pay 65 million for Joe McEwing.

• If the Mets take the game tomorrow it will be three series wins in a row.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE NIGHTCAP

The Happy Nightcap

Mets 6, Astros 4

• Another game, another 3 home runs. Last night it was the one man Beltran wrecking crew with 3 bombs in Colorado. Tonight in Houston - Bay, Martinez, & Wright combined for 3 round trippers.

• The Mets were down 4-zip until Bay's solo shot put the Mets on the board.

• Gee didn't have command of his pitches tonight but the pen was once again solid.

• In the 8th Martinez crushed a pinch hit 2 run homer to bring the Mets within one run.

•The day off did David good. Later in the 8th Wright hit a 2 out, 2 run laser out of the park to give the Mets the go ahead run.

• An insurance run came in the top of the 9th when Pridie ripped a double driving in Turner. 

• K-Rod closed out the game with a 4 out save, his 12th of the year.

• This was the 3rd road win in a row for the Mets. It's nice seeing our boys go yard and step up big with Ike on the DL.

Mets 9 – Rockies 5

Big Day for Beltran

• Carlos Beltran hits three HR’s to power the Mets past the Rockies. Beltran sandwiches 2 lefty blasts around a frozen-rope right handed bullet. All three homers were 2 run shots, giving Carlos 6 RBI’s on the day. Beltran hit one to CF, one to LF, and one to RF.

• The Mets take their second series in a row.

• Ike Davis is placed on the 15 day DL before the game. Since the Mets medical staff has proven to be a joke, we cannot trust this report. For all we know, Ike’s career could be in jeopardy. Maybe Ike will take matters into his own hands. CHECK IT OUT:  The Trailer for IKE's new movie

• David Wright sat out today’s game. He needed a day off and we needed a day off from watching him.

• Willie Harris played a good game. Willie Harris played a good game. Willie Harris played a good game.
