IN PSL with the St. Lucie Mets. The way he sees things why can't he be the big teams second baseman...after all a Rule 5 guy mans the bag now.

Going to be keeping a close eye on my boy Rylan Sandoval this season.

Over 2000 tix still available for the game according to a tweet.

Holy crap, does that sound the 09 Mets or what? that's the kind of stuff that gets managers fired.

Smg is bottom of the league , that like never happened.....

This week Remember when we Met: Beating the best US Presswire/Getty Images The Mets have had their share of notable wins against baseball's greats, including Juan Marichal, Curt Schilling, and Roger Clemens. Each Thursday, Mark Simon will commemorate the Mets 50th season with stories and notes related to the history of the team. Three pitchers have had seasons in which they�ve gone 4-0 against the Mets as part of a Cy Young Award winning campaign. Sandy Koufax was 4-0 with an 0.29 ERA against the Mets in 1963. Bob Gibson was 4-0 with a 1.18 ERA against the Mets in 1968 (The Year of the Pitcher) And Roy Halladay was 4-0 with a 2.56 ERA against the Mets in 2010. While you wouldn�t put Halladay in Koufax�s or Gibson�s class, he�s making his way towards great-of-the-game status with his two Cy Young Awards and this three-year stretch from 2008 to 2010 in which he went 58-31 with a 2.67 ERA, including a perfect game in the regular season and a no-hitter in the playoffs. Beating Halladay will be a challenge, but it�s one to which the Mets have a long and storied history of rising. Yes, they�ve had issues with some of the game�s all-time best, most notably Koufax (21-2 vs them) and Greg Maddux (35 wins, the most by any pitcher vs the Mets), but we�re here to celebrate victory rather than wallow in defeat. With that in mind, we ask the question: What is the Mets best win against an all-time great pitcher? Here are the first nine candidates that came to mind for me. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments section. The first The Mets first win against a future Hall of Famer was also their first walk-off win, a 3-2 victory over the Braves on May 12, 1962. The game ended on Hobie Landrith�s two-run home run off Warren Spahn in the bottom of the ninth inning. Spahn would finish his career with 363 wins, including four for the Mets in 1965, his final season in the major leagues. A dandy versus Sandy One of the most notable wins of the early days was the one in which they beat Sandy Koufax for the first time. Koufax went 13-0 in his first 14 appearances against the Mets and didn�t lose until August 26, 1965, when a young starter named Tug McGraw (who would become famous later in his Mets career) edged him out, 5-2. Juan and Done Hall of Famer Juan Marichal has come to ESPN�s Bristol headquarters on a few occasions, and on one, I asked him if he remembered when the Mets beat him 1-0 in 14 innings on August 19, 1969. �Tommie Agee,� he said wistfully, recalling the game-winning home run in that contest. �I can still see that ball going over the fence.� 19 K � and a loss On September 15, 1969, Cardinals pitcher Steve Carlton (who would go on to greatness with the Phillies) struck out 19 Mets, but got beat, 4-3, by a pair of Ron Swoboda home runs. Carlton would win 329 games in his Hall of Fame career, but the Mets beat him on 36 occasions, more than they�ve beaten any other pitcher. Nailing Nolan The Mets found themselves in a must-win situation in Game 2 of the 1986 NLCS against the fireballing (and ageless) Nolan Ryan. Much like he would do in Game 5 of the series, Ryan overpowered the Mets early, before an offensive onslaught led to five runs. Keith Hernandez had the key hit, a two-run triple that got the ball rolling in the right direction and helped even the series. Curt-in Call Curt Schilling would go on to win two World Series with the Red Sox, but in his Phillies days, he had a few intriguing matchups with the Mets. The most notable of those came on May 23, 1999, when Schilling took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. The Mets rallied in a fashion resemblant of some of their best wins in 1986, scoring five runs. John Olerud got the winning hit, a walk-off single with two outs. Beating Mariano Mariano Rivera has only one blown save against the Mets, but in came in an amazing game. On July 10, 1999, the Mets beat the Yankees, 9-8 on Matt Franco�s two-run two-out single in the bottom of the ninth. The Mets persevered in a gutty effort, surviving six Yankees home runs to win. Measuring up to the Big Unit Randy Johnson had a losing regular season against only one National League team. He finished 6-7 against the Mets, but it�s a postseason loss for which he�s best known. In Game 1 of the 1999 NLDS, after the Mets had just won four straight games (including a one-game playoff in Cincinnati) just to make the postseason, the Mets hammered Johnson for seven runs in an 8-4 victory. Attach a bit of an asterisk here because the Mets got the game-winning hit (Edgardo Alfonzo�s grand slam)off reliever Bobby Chouinard, but Johnson took the defeat nonetheless. Rocking the Rocket Mets fans have taken great satisfaction in their success against Roger Clemens, primarily because it�s viewed as payback for both his beaning of Mike Piazza and his throwing a bat shard at Piazza during Game 2 of the 2000 World Series. Take your pick among Clemens� six losses to the Mets for the best one. We like two in particular, a 12-2 drubbing on June 9, 2000, and an 8-0 win on June 15, 2002. The former featured a Piazza grand slam. The latter was highlighted by Shawn Estes, missing on his attempt to hit Clemens with a ball, but clobbering a Clemens pitch for a home run later in the game. There are those who say Clemens got what he deserved for another reason. Next time you watch a replay of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, check out the shot of Clemens celebrating in the Red Sox bullpen, which was defaced with a huge �RC� in red spray paint. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/18749/remember-when-we-met-beating-the-best

One thing Cohen noted about Pelfrey was that he seemed to have a completely different game plan than his first start , that's not all on Thole. I'm not buying that angle too much anyways ,Pelfrey has been around long enough that if he's not comfortable with what Thole is calling then he tells him...am I right?

Well , it was entertaining to say the least , this game had it all , poor pitching, poor defense , good pitching , big comeback , everything except the win.

shit , I just frightened my son screaming so loud when Davis for the hit.

Pagan with a hit , bases jacked for Davis....

RBI single by Beltran...

RBI single by Wright , 7-3 now with two men on and one out......rolling rolling rolling

Dave Hudgens sounds like he knows what he's talking about..

Next thing you know they'll be skipping him against the Phillies , in fact let's skip him against the rest of the NL East.... 7-0 now

Gwreck wrote: I've seen enough. Time for some bullpen, Terry. yeah really , down 4-0 , no outs and just walked the guy, two on now and nearly fifty pitches in the third.

Pelfrey looking like shite

Love it , my other fave team.....Hansen had all that hype but it never happened for him.

Jeez , elder abuse in the forum....... when will Pete Flynn get to throw one out?

Catchers: Jean Luc Blaquiere, Kai Gronauer these guys gotta make it to the starfleet

The Colbert Report just wasn't good tonight, now this is what I call quality viewing.

That's awesome. brilliant Among the most important items in it is a Magic 8 Ball, the hand-held toy that purports to predict the future. The purpose of the game depends on the user and his belief in the supernatural. It could serve as a mere diversion, or a portent, as Debus demonstrated recently by grabbing it out of the chest and asking it a question. �Debo, am I going to pitch tonight?� he asked it, pretending to be one of the Mets� seven relief pitchers. Debus shook the ball and read the response as it popped into the small window: �It is decidedly so.� He looked at it again and asked, �Am I going to get fired for this interview?� The ball�s response: �My sources say no.�
