The Mets look to continue their winning rip as they visit the birthplace of writers such as Douglas Wallop and Tracy Chevalier. The team celebrates the birthdays of Alex Escobar (46) and Jerry Blevins (40) as Venezuelan José Butto wars for Caribbean supremacy against fellow righthander Joan Adon, representing The Dominican Republic.



Last night's loss was the Nationals' sixth in a row and eighth of their last 10, and they now sit 2 1/2 games behind the Mets, putting behind them any hopes of using this series to dig out of last place. The Mets sit one game behind San Diego as they try to sustain their mathematical Wild Card life as long as they can. In addition to that, they can still use reaching .500 (currently 10 games under) or catching Miami (seven games ahead) as daily motivation, though I think winning to please myself and my household should be reason enough.



Adon is 2-1 with a 5.90 ERA this season, which suggests he's had a rough go of it. But from his perspective, he's probably doing alright compared to the 1-12 / 7.10 line he put up in 12 starts last season. It's probably nice to once again be collecting an MLB paycheck after such a season.



Gametime is 7:05, and while Lycos reports that it is being broadcast on Animal Planet, we're just going to go ahead and suggest you look for it on SNY.



In the meantime, read a book, though not the Lupica one.

Why not the Lupica one?

I haven't read it yet, but I played with and against the kinds of kids he describes in his novel.

Caught you. The Best and the Brightest isn't a baseball book. Nice job sneaking it in.



I put it down a few months ago and keep meaning to pick it up again.

The Edgy's won a lot of games for us. Let's win this one for the Edgy.

That's very kind of you. My family, however, only gets partial credit for a single win in Mets history. Let's win this one for Carlos Carrasco, who sacrificed his pinky to the cause.

Neither is BREAKS OF THE GAME, but at least it's a sports book.
