Maine Attraction

John Maine locked down Marlin batters for 6 innings Saturday night, a 7-2 Met victory, allowing 4 hits and 2 runs and striking out 8. His control was still a bit off, walking 4, but his pitches looked more lively than they had in his past 3 outings. Still a solid performance as the Mets take yet another series from a team (hell, ANY team) not named the Braves.

Speaking of the Braves, our new best friends, the Phillies knocked them around again putting us ahead by 3.5 games.

Pretty satisfying moment in the 5th when Miguel Cabrera launched one, threw his bat aside, and stood there and watched what amounted to be a 440 ft. blast go foul. To put icing on the cake, baseball's biggest baby struck out on the next pitch.

Superstition prevents me from mentioning anything about this headline.

Whore-Hey Sosa on the mound tomorrow as the Mets go for the sweep.
