Mets Win 1-0 Behind Big Pelf.
Mike Pelfrey tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings as the Mets snapped a season-high five-game losing streak and avoided a sweep at Milwaukee. Ryan Church’s RBI single in the sixth inning off Yovani Gallardo scored Luis Castillo. The Mets won 1-0.

Fernando Martinez is still on the interstate at .179 and scares people in outfield.

Mike Pelfrey reminds me of Steve Trachsel. He just won't throw the ball to the plate. He is always playing with the ball and wiping sweat.

Gary Cohen on the SNY broadcast said "Daniel Murphy has been called out on strikes in two at-bats." Genius Keith Hernandez says "looking!"

Ryan Church has 19 RBI on July 1st and is batting clean up. Mets finally a hit with a runner in scoring position. They were 0-7 with five strikeouts.

The Met batters look like hitting coach Howard Johnson at the plate. Swinging at curve balls in the dirt.

On second thought, perhaps David Wright should of been given the day off after going 0-4 with three strikeouts and a throwing error.

Met pitchers have been feasted upon by Ryan Braun.

The Mets are going to build a team to fit Citi Field like the Cardinals in Busch astroturf in the 1980's. So the Mets signed Vince Coleman and Willie McGee.

Mike Pelfrey balks again. Why is he throwing to first with Prince Fielder on?

Prince Fielder looked safe at third base.

Mike Pelfrey pitched a great game. Now Sean "walk the leadoff hitter" Green is coming in.

Do I smell another blown save by Francisco Rodriguez.

Howdy Doody from WFAN can stop whining and now can wipe the tears from his scorecard.

Got Runs? Got Defense? Got Hits?
Ladies and Gentlemen... Meet the 1962 New York Mets.

The Brewers Ryan Braun hit a three-run double and finished with four RBIs as Milwaukee won 6-3 to extend the New York Mets’ skid to a season-high five games.

Fernando Tatis looks finished. Maybe it's time to say goodbye. Tatis doesn't move the runner over as he chases two balls in the dirt. Tatis has hit into 10 double plays this season.

David Wright hit his first home run since June 9th.

Ryan Church has 18 RBI on June 30th and is batting fifth. Is this an expansion team?

Mets should trade Johan Santana while he is healthy and stock is high. The season is over! Santana has lost his fastball. He's another Pedro Martinez signing for the Mets. One plus good years and on the hook for a big contract. Johan Santana was getting squeezed by home plate umpire Jim Wolf. Tom Glavine just called in and blamed Questec. Santana has now lost four of his last six decisions.

Johan Santana should never have walked opposing pitcher Mike Burns. He should be out of the inning. Dan Warthen finally showed some emotion. On Warthen's way back to the dugout, he argued balls and strikes with home-plate umpire Jim Wolf, who ejected Warthen.

Another Met went on the DL today. Manager Jerry Manuel pulled a calf muscle running out to the pitchers mound in last nights game.

WFAN's Mike Francesca had a great line this afternoon saying Nick Evans and Daniel Murphy are the same person.

David Wright makes a great play and follows it up with a bad throw to first allowing the runner to advance.

Johan Santana over 100 pitches and starting the 7th. I like to see him get a win, but this is a no win situation and team. Prince Fielder then smacked a long bomb to end his night.

The Mets have announced they signed former Met outfielder Don Hahn to a contract. The 61 year old Hahn is a perfect fit, can't hit, field, run bases and hit with power. Del Unser was a second option.

The Mets hit like hitting coach Howard Johnson did in his career. Streaky, inconstient, poor decisions.

Fernando Martinez is no Carlos Beltran in centerfield. Martinez just loves those eye level pitches. Martinez hit his first career home run with two outs in the top of the ninth.

Looks like the Mets ticket office will not be sending out any post season invoices this season.
