ANALYSIS
Pretty easy. John Maine doesn’t field his position and loses his control and the Cubs score six in one inning.
NOTEBOOK
-Moises Alou is batting .500 (7-for-14) on the road trip.
-Maine lasted 2 2/3 innings for the shortest start of the season. His career short was one inning against the Yankees in 2005, while with Baltimore.
-The Mets were 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven.
LOOKING AHEAD
Tom Glavine makes his second run at 300 career wins.

John,
Off topic from today’s game, but yesterday you had a note about Pedro and Omar saying it could be 5, 6, or 7 days. What is your sense from talking with OMAR? Do we see Pedro this year?
I don’t understand why Willie didn’t pinch-hit for Easley with a left-handed bat (i.e. Green) in the 8th Inning.
