Top Pitching Performances of 2009

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'll open with this guy: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200905060.shtml

Mets close within a game and a half on Philly, and send the message of Santana invulnerability --- that one run is all you need when Johan is on the mound.


First and third with two out and a run home in the bottom of the seventh, Jerry pulls him for a pinch-hitter after 101 pitches. Feliciano and Rodriguez finish up.

You remember this one. Johan Ks 13, walks 1, gives up no earned runs over 7... and loses. (With Parnell getting his Dibble on in the eighth.) Oh, Murph.

Senor Frisbee/Brown Grimace scatters 9 hits around a Dunn bell-tower opposite field shot; first Metro CG on the season. (That it's against the Nats doesn't mean it counts any less, although perhaps it should.)

Nelly Figs, throwing wiffle-stuff and looking-- as BML put it in another thread-- no-hit-worthy. It dips, it dives, it goes for a 4-hit shutout against the 'Stros to close a long season.

A game I attended in DC, where the Mets jumped out to a big first inning lead and Livan cruised over his old mates.

That new Nats stadium is beautiful, for those of you considering a road trip.

Fernando Nieve in the Bronx......pitched into the 7th but more than that I remember he showed some big balls that night.

I went to the next game with my head held high , then Santana got hammered.
