METS 8, DODGERS 4

Welcome back to New York, Joe Torre. Hope you enjoyed getting beat by the Mets! The Dodgers are in town and Joe Torre got a nice ovation from the Shea crowd. But David Wright hit TWO two-run home runs which put LA away. It got close when a 6-0 lead became 6-4, but in the 7th inning, Chavez and Schneider had RBI singles to give us some insurance runs. Not that I saw it - too busy watching the season finale of LOST!

METS 7, MARLINS 6 (12 innings)

Best ending to a game all year! The Mets have never come back after losing in a game through 8 innings... until tonight! Losing 5-4, in the bottom of the ninth, ENDY CHAVEZ hit a home run to tie the game. But it almost looked for naught as Alfredo Amezega homered for Florida in the 12th. But then in the bottom of the 12th, we came back... Wright walked, Beltran singled, and then FERNANDO TATIS smacked a double to left field, driving in both runs. Mets Win! They mobbed Tatis on the field and it was obvious what a huge win this was for them. For weeks, they've been struggling against teams' bullpens and come-from-behind wins were impossible to attain. But tonight they did it! And now the postgame show is on and Darryl Strawberry looks like a pimp in that suit... Finally, I want to give some credit to Aaron Heilman. After sucking hard all year, he pitched two perfect innings tonight with four strikeouts. Good for him.

METS 5, MARLINS 3

Did Keith Hernandez do something to piss off Gary Cohen and Ron Darling? While Gary and Ron were in the booth, Keith broadcasted from the front row, directly behind home plate. He said he was doing it to get a unique hitters perspective but I wonder! Anyway good news - the Mets actually won tonight! They jumped ahead with three runs in the first and Santana did the rest pitching seven strong innings. That's why we got Johan - to end losing streaks. Little did we know that we'd be having so many of these losing streaks! The Mets lineup also nearly looked like a minor league one. Delgado and Schneider had the day off and Church is still out with his injury. So the 5-8 hitters were Easley, Tatis, Castro and Evans. Whatever gets the job done - Tatis and Castro were both 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs each. With Billy Wagner's save, he moves into sixth place on the alltime list with 368, passing Jeff Reardon. Next milestone - Dennis Eckersley's 390!

MARLINS 7, METS 3

We're dying here. A loss to the first place Fins now puts us 6 and a half games out. On Memorial Day. With the loss, Pelfrey goes to 2-6. Didn't he start the year 2-0? Only bright spot came from the struggling Jose Reyes who hit two home runs. Oh and Heilman pitched two innings of relief without actually giving up any runs. What's more - a "Fire Willie" chant broke out at Shea. Didn't New York just go through this with Isiah Thomas and the Knicks? While Willie met with ownership this afternoon and retained his job, the future is still unclear. When asked if the Wilpons told him that he'd definetely remain manager the rest of the season, Willie responded, "No, they didn't say that."

ROCKIES 4, METS 1

Aaron Cook pitched a complete game, only allowing four hits and one run. The Mets offense stinks and if it costs Willie his job then it is to blame. Maine pitched pretty well against the Rockies B team but we still lost two out of three in the weekend series. This was hardly the defending NL Champions (no Holliday, no Tulowitski, no Hawpe, no Barnes) but they still beat us. Now we're 2 games under .500, 5 and a half games behind the Marlins. Coming up is a home series against Florida and that could make or break the season. Either the Mets reverse course and make up ground, or bury themselves even further. What will it be boys?

METS 9, ROCKIES 2

The losing streak finally ends. A five run first inning for the Mets must have really put Willie Randolph at ease. Beltran had a 3-RBI double, and was then followed by RBIs from Castro and Evans (in his first MLB at bat). Later on, Wright and Delgado homered. Along with seven strong innings from Claudio Vargas, it was a well played game. But is that enough to save Willie's job? He's meeting with the Wilpons soon and the bosses will surely put him on the spot to defend the team's performance. Speculation is running rampant as to who will replace him. Jerry Manuel? Lee Mazzilli? Bobby Valentine? Gary Carter?

ROCKIES 6, METS 5 (13 innings)

The losing streak is at five. Willie Randolph's job security is dangling. Omar Minaya flew into Colorado to express his support for his manager. But how long will that support last? The Mets are now two games under .500 and falling deeper behind in the NL East. Tonight the Mets entered the ninth inning with a 5-4 lead. They gave the ball to Billy Wagner who hadn't given up a run all season. But then Matt Holliday homered tying the game up. On the game went into extras and it was in the 13th when Holliday drove in the game winning run - this time off of Heilman. More bad news - Marlon Anderson got hurt with a strained hamstring. He goes on the DL and Nick Evans is being called up from Binghamton to replace him. Some outfield we have: Alou, Pagan and Anderson are all on the DL and Church still hasn't returned from getting bloodied the other night.
