Game Recap:: Mets 4 -- Braves 3
Maine pitches great...doesn't get the win...but the Mets do!
John Maine pitched so much better than he has in a while, but the bullpen blew it for him. The Mets had to get the winning run in the 8th inning, a beat the Braves 4-3.
Johnny Maine went 6 innings of brilliant baseball, allowing only 3 hits and 3 walks. Maine struck out 5 batters while on the bump. His slider was back, and you could tell. He allowed 1 earned run, which came on a bunch of silly 2 out mistakes.
...just an amazing game from him...especially after his last few starts...
...so glad he is back...
Aaron Heilman allowed 2 runners to get on with 2 outs in the 8th, Pedro Feliciano came on to get one out, and couldn't, which loaded the bases. Guillermo Mota came in to try andd finish it out, and not suprisingly, allowed a 2-run single to tie the game.
...it's been a loooooooong time since i heard someone get boo'd that loudly on the Mets...
Billy Wagner pitched a 1-2-3 inning to close out the game.
...not much needs to be said here...just a great outing...
Jose Reyes seems to be back on track, going 2-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
...i called it...he's baaaaack...
Marlon Anderson also picked up an RBI and scored once on a solo home run in the 5th inning to deep right field. Marlon was playing in a rare start at first base.
Carlos Beltran went 1-3, also picking up an RBI and a run.
...both of those guys have been great the past 2 weeks...invaluable even...
Moises Alou continued his hitting streak, bringing it to 17 games now.
Shawn Green had the biggest hit of the night, going 3-4, and picking up the game winning RBI in the 8th inning.
...what can i say Greenie?...he has been putting his head down and going with the pitch as of late, and it's paying off...

all i can say is that willie did it again by bringing mota in during the most crucial part of the game and what happens? thats right mota gives up the tieng runs!!!!
mota should be draged behind the barn and dealt with
atleast wagner is looking like he did earlier in the season
i just know that mota is going to the post season and that is gonna kill me
it is going to kill us all
do you guys think that maine is making a rebound or is he turning into perez with the braves?
i guess we will find out the next time around
I HATE GUILLERMO MOTA
> <
^
is that supposed to be a mad face???
Mota sucks!
maine should have gotten his 15th tonight. instead willie uses his "gut" and put mota in.
the only weak link in the bullpen is mota and somehow he always seems to get the ball in key spots. WTF?
mota spells pain
