After more than an hour rain delay, the Mets jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the first out was recorded. Just like the other Mets starters in this series, Mike Pelfrey just didn’t have it tonight. Pelfrey couldn’t even last long enough to qualify for the win as he… Read More →
This series vs. the Marlins might be a homecoming for several Mets players, but it hasn’t been very hospital to Mets pitching. Hisanori Takahashi was the latest victim of the hot, humid weather in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the Mets lost their second game of the series, 7-6. The… Read More →
