Mets Win BIG Behind Flores Grand Slam

Posted by | Jun 3, 2014 | , |

The Mets kept piling on runs last night against the Phillies.  In fact, they were up 5-2 going into the 9th and scored 6 to win 11-2! The Mets have witnessed a serious power surge vs. Philly winning a bunch of games. They are now in 2nd place with a 28-29 record, 2.5 games back from the Atlanta Braves. Despite all the wins in the series, the Mets witnessed another injury to Juan Lagares who is now on the 15 day DL. Lagares was hitting great as always but it was very unfortunate for the Mets. The Mets had runs scored by Matt den Dekker (who robbed a Ryan Howard HR and threw a guy out at home), Curtis Granderson, Eric Campbell, Wilmer Flores, Chris Young, Dan Murphy (2), David Wright (2) and Bobby Abreu (2).  The Mets hitter also had some big games with David Wright going 2-4 with 2 RBI’s, Grandy going 1-5 with 2 RBI’s and last but DEFINITELY not least, the player of the game, Wilmer Flores who went 2-5 with 6 RBI”s on a Grand Slam in the 9th and a 2 run double! and he batted 7th!  Bartolo Colon had another good game going 7 strong innings, striking out 5 and only letting up 2 ER.

Pacers take Gm.5 Behind George

Posted by | May 31, 2014 | , |

Paul George was AMAZING in last night’s game 5 win vs. the Heat! In the win, he scored 37 points (21 in a monster 4th quarter), grabbed 6 steals and 6 boards. The Heat fell on LeBron James foul troubles, he had 3 by half and 5 at the end of the game. He only managed to play 24 minutes scoring 7 points on 2-10 shooting. He had to make a tough decision when he beat Paul George at the top of the key and went down low, instead of taking it in for a GW layup with the d lurking, he dished it to Chris Bosh, a great 3 pt shooter and he came close but missed! The Pacers secured the game and forced a Gm.6 at Miami. What a run for the Pacers, the storyline? “What’s next”! The Kings had all the momentum on a 3-1 to 4-3 comeback and Chicago fans went silent. But… These former Stanley Cup Champions came back, tied the game at 4 before OT and won it all in 2OT with another goal! The Kings may be up 3-2 in the series, but this is as close as the Rangers v. Canadiens series. Talking about those blue-shirts, the Rangers have a chance at clinching a spot in the finals with a win tonight! GOOOOOOO...

Mets Drop 2 Guys After Disappointing Loss

Posted by | May 27, 2014 | , , , |

After a disappointing 5-3 loss to the Pirates yesterday. The Mets fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens after the game after some really poor hitting this season and the past 3 with him. The Mets also announced the release of Veteran closer Jose Valverde after posting a 5.66 ERA this season with a 1-1 record. Look at this now. This all started when Bobby Parnell hurt himself and was ruled out for the season on opening day, that sent the Mets in panic mode for relief pitching. That came to 2 releases of veteran relievers who struggled mightily and call-ups of starters in the minors to move starters to the pen! Hitting must improve for NYM with a team .237 Batting Average with 186 RBI’s and 407 hits. They only got 195 runs and 123 extra base-hits.  That led to the firing of Hudgens, Lamar Johnson will fill in for him. To add to the news, Mets young star, minor league pitcher, Noah Synderguard is getting his arm checked in NY today to check for a possible injury. Tonight, Jon Niese is on the hill for the Mets while Edinson Volquez is pitching for the Pirates… Also in the MLB, after Josh Beckett’s no-no on Sunday, Hyun-Jin Ryu almost got one of his own going perfect for 7.1 innings with 7 K’s. He collapsed in the 8th with a total...
