Sweep Nectar Of Life: Mets 9, Brewers 2
An easy win for Oliver Perez, who wasn't great but didn't have to be because the Mets' offense did all of the heavy lifting for him. Somewhat amazingly, Perez stuck around for 6.2 innings and didn...
Pounding Brews: Mets 6, Brewers 5
I'm a little late with the recap, but this was a really great win for the Mets. I guess at this point in the season they're probably all really great wins, so this one was no exception. Jon Niese ...
Three Sheets To The Win: Mets 4, Brewers 2
The Mets were being soundly dominated by Ben Sheets before a groin strain send him to an early shower and the Mets took advantage of the Brewers' bullpen. After managing very little through the fi...
Stupid Cubs: Mets 6, Marlins 2
A nice start for Pedro Martinez after two consecutive stinkers. With John Maine on the disabled list and Jon Niese an unknown quantity, the Mets could really use Pedro to string together a bunch o...
Clutch-Tron: Mets 5, Marlins 4
That. Was. Awesome! It doesn't even matter that Luis Ayala almost blew the whole thing in the bottom of the ninth. This is what you live for. Last at-bat, two outs, nobody on. A couple of singles ...

Splitsville: Mets 9, Astros 1
I don't think there's any question this was Mike Pelfrey's best start of the season. I seem to be saying that every week now, but that's more a commentary on Pelfrey's intelligent design than my r...
Aces High: Mets 3, Astros 0
The Mets were actually outhit by the Astros 8-4, but one of those four hits was an RBI bloop by David Wright in the first and another was another (!) bomb by the Schneid-dog. Otherwise the Mets we...
Bravely Swept: Mets 5, Braves 4
Not really a great game for the Mets, though with a little help from the Braves' defense it turned into a great win. The Mets left eleven men on base and Pedro Martinez allowed four runs in seven ...
Complete Pelf: Mets 6, Braves 3
Mike Pelfrey pitched the first shutout complete game of his career and the second by a Mets' starter this week, though it was kind of an interesting game for him. He walked three and allowed just ...
