Game Recap:: Mets 9 -- Marlins 6

So tired...but so happy!...CONGRATS MOISES!...

After a VERY long rain delay, 2 hours and 21 minutes to be exact, and picked up 8 unearned runs en route to a 9-6 win over the Marlins.

Pedro was decent tonight. (Wait, Pedro pitched tonight? It was so long ago!) He lasted only 5 innings, giving up 4 runs, 3 earned, on 8 hits and 2 walks. He struck out 7 as well. Pedro didn't seem happy with the strike zone, and gave up 3 runs in the first 2 innings. He settled down from there and allowed only one more run to score.

...good, but we're going to need more innings out of him...

And heres the surprise of the night, the bullpen DID NOT blow it!
Guillermo Mota pitched 2 amazing innings in relief, only allowing one baserunner. He gave up one hit, walked none, and struck out 2.

...thoroughly impressed...

Pedro Feliciano still seems off, as he gave up 2 earned run on 1 hit an 2 walks.

...gah! why can't it be easy!...

Joe Smith entered the game, but did not retire a batter, and walked one.
Scott Schoeneweis looked STELLAR, pitching 1.1 innings, striking out the first 3 batters he face, and got a ground out to end the game.

...wow...
