Oliver Perez - please don't choke.
The Good: The offense was great, the defense was great, and even the pitching turned out to be great. Oliver Perez overcame a bump in the road to pitch into the eighth inning and Ryan Church flashed some leather in right & mashed at the plate as he crushed a home run to the black seats in deep center field. Reyes homered, Wright hit, Alou executed, Schneider remained productive, and even Castillo drove in a run. Some plays that stand out are Alou's two-run single, Schneider's clutch hit after an intentional walk, and David Wright tagging up on Abreu in short right.
The Bad: Carlos Delgado was robbed of a three run home run that hit the foul pole, as it was overturned by the umpires. However, Delgado battled back in that at-bat and ended up with a big rbi single. Although the Yankees came right back against Perez in the bottom of the inning, the Mets held on for the win. It was also good to see Jerry Manuel show some emotion after Delgado was robbed of his homer - he was ejected from the game.
Overall: It's always good to thrash the Yankees. Now, we sweep the shortened series and move on to Atlanta with some momentum. Tomorrow's off day should have everyone well rested.
Notes: I officially graduated from The Pennsylvania State University today with a bachelor's degree in Management and Supply Chain & Information Systems.
Final Score: Mets 11, Yankees 2. Record: 22-19.
