Rangers let one slip by last night as the Devils won it in overtime. Not at all concerned though as I've been saying all along, Rangers win in 5. As with the 1 victory the devils managed to pull out this season against us, it didn't happen in regulation time and the Rangers will bounce back quickly

As for the Mets well, it was not a good weekend at all. No win from Johan on Saturday and while Oliver Perez pitched like garbage yesterday, the Mets failed to capatilize. Repeatedly leaving men on base in scoring position was the theme of the day. More and more as I watch this team I keep asking myself, "When will the 2008 Mets show up?". All we have seen so far is the September 2007 version of the Mets. Playing with no life and making the simple goof play. Angel Pagan continues to rake but with the losses piling up it isn't going to matter unless this team can turn things around. We've got the Nationals for 3 coming up this week so that would seem to be a good place to start. Paul LoDuca continues to have diarrhea of the mouth so it could make for an interesting series but this is definately one that the Mets should take.

Nelson Figueroa pitched went 6 strong as the Mets made it 3 in a row on Friday night and get our Mets above the .500 mark. All around good story for Figueroa who spent last season pitching for what seemed like eveyone on the planet.

The Good: 

Angel Pagan continued his tear by picking up another 2 hits along with his tenth rbi.

Aaron Heilman got through the 8th inning which gave Billy Wagner his 1st save opportunity this season. Wags then proceeded to breeze through the 9th for the save.

The Bad:

Well at least not for us anyway, the Brewers looked just plain bad on the field. Fielder lets one go right by him early in the game while Gabe Gross booted one and Jason Kendall threw one away. In their defense (or lack thereof), you've got guys playing out of position and I dont see exactly how they are supposed to fix a broken wheel when they dont have the tools.

The Ugly:

Jose Reyes, after going 0-3 to keep his average just a touch over the .200 mark, pulls up lame with tightness in his hamstring and at best wont play in Saturdays game with Johan on the mound. I can only hope that this is a minor thing and that he can start to get things turned around. If we are going to succeed this season we will need a healthy and productive Reyes.

Saturdays game: Gonna be a good pitching matchup as Johan Santana (1-1) takes on Ben Sheets (1-0). We are probably gonna have Jose Reyes out, with Damion Easely filling in at SS, but other than that our lineup should be the same. Who knows what configuration the Brewers will go with on the field as Braun played LF yesterday but pitching duel aside, our Mets should pull this one out as well.

Now on to Hockey.

Rangers got another one last night and took down the Devils 2-1 to take a 2-0 lead in the series (which I again repeat, will not go past 5 games). Lundqvist was stellar behind goal again while Jagr and Avery provided the offense with a 23 second flury in the 3rd period. Sunday night I look for us to take a 3-0 lead.
