Since the pen's near-debacle in Philly during the 'They win the damn thing' game:
18-1/3 IPs, 0 R, 2 H, 4 BBs

Who knew Brad Hawpe would be the end of the day.



Get better, Pedro.

Firefly was an AWESOME show.

Another solid win. The Rockies are a truly awful team.

Not mentioned here:
Jerry and Ray Ramirez were out for a visit with Pedro in the 3rd but they went back to the dugout quickly.

Robinson Cancel now wearing #40.

Big crowd. Was delayed getting to the game (arrived in 2nd inning) and the line was still several people deep at each ticket window to buy tickets.

From the ESPN recap:

]"...the one-hitter made the Mets the first team in modern baseball history to allow three hits or less in five consecutive games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau."

So until further notice, that's their story and they're sticking to it. I still say Pedro was making a gesture towards him.

Pedro Removed For Shoulder Stiffness

Shoulder, groin - what's the difference?
