Oliver Perez will try to recover from his recent rough outing and snatch one from the Phillies.
The Good: Reyes and the Mets jumped out to an early lead and Jose also hit a late home run over the right field fence. Oliver Perez pitched a great six innings and had great stuff out there. Duaner Sanchez helped him preserve the win by coming into his first jam since his return. He would get Jimmy Rollins to ground out to to end the inning. Believe it or not, after Joe Smith and Feliciano got into trouble, Aaron Heilman found a way to strike two people out with the bases loaded. In the end, there was Billy Wagner once again as he struck out his nemesis, Pat Burrell, to end the game.
The Bad: Carlos Beltran has not looked good at the plate lately. Brian Schneider also took a 97 mph foul tip off of his right hand in the ninth-inning. X-Rays were negative but he could not move parts of his hand.
Overall: 5 game winning-streak: Are these really the Mets? I guess even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every now and then. I.E. Aaron Heilman.
Notes: In the ninth inning, a brawl between a Mets and Phillies fan spilled onto the field, disrupting play for a few seconds. The first person to land on the field was reported as wearing a Lenny Dykstra jersey.
Other Notes: Blue-White Weekend at PSU. Tim Duncan hit a big three pointer in 2OT to lead his spurs over the Suns in game one of the playoffs.
Quote of the Day: "It's really sad when humanity comes to the point where somebody getting hurt, it's fun to watch. It's sad when that happens. Nobody wants anybody to get hurt. I don't want Jimmy Rollins getting hurt. I don't want Pat Burrell to get hurt. I don't want none of these guys. I want to compete against these guys because they're the best, and you want to beat the best. You don't want excuses. When you see Reyes laying there — it's a tough shot, a clean play — and the fans cheering that he's hurt, that just goes and shows you volumes about where our society is headed." - Billy Wagner
Final Score: Mets 4, Phillies 2. Record: 10-6.
