Didn't know what to expect tonight really, given the Mets terrible record against Dontrelle Willis and the team having played in Philly the night before. Turned out the Marlins were in worse shape from the get-go, having played in Houston the night before in an extra innings affair, but the Mets jumped all over Willis in the first to take a 4-0 lead. There were also two woeful Marlin errors as well which aided the Mets in that inning, but it's not like New York needed help to hit the ball and score, given the 17 hits for the game, but once again, if you give a team like the Mets more chances.....
John Maine pitched an excellent game, having a no-hitter going into the seventh inning before Miguel Cabrera singled to open the home half, and Joe Borchard hit a two-out, two run home run in the same inning to end the shut-out attempt.
All of the Mets starters got a hit, except for Maine and catcher Paul LoDuca, Jose Reyes got four, Jose Valentin with three, awith David Wright also extending his hitting streak to 25 games over two seasons.
Did not get the SportsNewYork telecast for the game, rather I was treated to the Fox Florida one, always nice to get the opposition viewpoint from time to time.
Phillies are losing to Washington, Braves are winning though, as long as the Mets take care of their own, they'll be hard to beat.
