AAA

The New Orleans Zephyrs/Mets go down 5-1 tonight against Arizona and Brandon Webb. No Alou, Green, Beltran, or Wright tonight. What we had was Ben Johnson, David Newhan, and old reliable Endy Chavez in the outfield and Pops (Julio Franco) at 3rd. When the Mets fell behind 2-0 Gary Cohen said it best, "It might as well be 13-0." Alas, the Diamondbacks showed no class in piling on a troupe of minor leaguers running up the score with a 3 run homer off of Mota late in the game to win going away 5-1. (If the sarcasm is literally dripping from your computer on to your desk, my apologies.) Maine pitched well enough, minus one pitch. Mota needs to get back on the 'roids to be effective. Braves win, Mets lead down to 3.5 games.

Jorge Sosa and El Duque's brother on the bump tomorrow.
