Game 41: Mets vs. Nationals @ Shea Stadium

The young'n Mike Pelfrey looks for a split in the series against the Nationals.

The Good: Pelfrey pitched well.

The Bad: Wtf at the offense? Reyes took an ill-advised risk and Beltran was doubled off to end the game. To me, it's a lose-lose situation. If they don't get on base, everyone will point that out, but when they do, they get no credit for trying to score a run. The turning point of the game was when Willie Harris made a terrific catch to preserve a big out for the Nats.

Overall: There is no way a pitcher should go six-plus with a no-hitter and lose the game. Only the Mets. Off to the Bronx.

Quote of the day: “Someone tell me why the (expletive) you’re talking to the closer. I didn’t even play. They’re over there, not being interviewed. … I got it. They’re gone. (Expletive) shocker.” - Billy Wagner

Final Score: Mets 0, Nationals 0. Final Score: 20-19.
