ANALYSIS
Six runs over three innings. The Mets get six hits all night. ‘Nuf said.
NOTEBOOK
-Mike DiFelice cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans.
-David Wright has 10 walks in his last seven games.
-The Mets have had 19 crowds of over 50,000 this season.
-If all the runners the Mets stranded had scored (3) they still would have lost the game.
LOOKING AHEAD
Orlando Hernandez (7-4, 3.00) vs. John Smoltz (10-6, 3.04)

I think it was more of the 9 XBHits from the Braves than anything else. Ya ain’t gettin a W after serving up that kinda smorgasbord. (But the Mets not getting a hit after the 5th inning didn’t help much either).
Also, I wonder how that Matt Murphy handles a bat? He might just be the sure-handed right fielder the Mets are looking for. His catch last night was so spectacular in SF, it warranted a police escort. And he’s from Queens, too!
