Still Too Many Ducks On The Pond

Mets win a big game tonight, taking the 1st of three from the Twins 8-1. Instead of rejoicing with a friend in the win, The Lone Met Fan is venting his frustrations. Frustrations on the fact that on 15 hits, the Mets only scored 8 runs, leaving 11(!) men on base. The clutch seems to be sticking in Beltran, although he did get an RBI double (then looked like a tool standing there watching Wrights drive go off the wall and not running) late in the game to help break it open. John Maine pitched well, going 7.1 innings allowing only 4 hits and the 1 run (Thanks Feliciano). Delgado looked good at the plate tonight as did most of the Met batters. The hitting with men on base has got to get better. It's exposed this team badly over the last 15 days. I'm surprised pitchers aren't walking the 1st two batters of every inning to get the puking down the leg started. It's a win, and I'll take it. There hasn't been enough of these in June so I will enjoy this one for at least 24 hours before Santana takes the mound tomorrow night.
