I bet someone in our Pittsburgh office a beer the Mets would take two out of three from the Pirates the last time they met, and lost. I'm going double or nothing with this series. This is his outlook on the Bucs:Don't overlook the Bucs. They have won four of six on this, their longest road trip of the year (12 games). They have won two in a row, shutting out the Astros in Houston back-to-back (and they should have swept them -- they had the lead in the eighth of the first game but blew the game on a stupid throwing error by the right fielder -- not to be bitter).And we don't have to face Pedro this time around. You guys might get a break, too, though. Bucs might push rookie phenom Zach Duke back a day in the rotation. He's supposed to face the Mets Thursday but they are talking about having him face the Phillies Friday instead. You should watch him if you get the chance -- he looks like he's going to be really good.John Kruk described him on TV the other night as "a young Tom Glavine but with a better curveball." It'd be pretty good if he turned out half as good as Glavine.

Rooting against the Mets is just bad karma. I couldn't do it. Plus, Yankee fans would probably hold it against us if we lost, as Edgy said.

Dwight Gooden and Kevin Mitchell are two, I believe.

Jose hits none. Over, done.

Pads next.Last time, trey wins.Hope more wins here.West isn't best this year.

Yes he has.Expect the KTE early this afternoon.

Elster, I didn't see the Beltran play, but from the way Gary Cohen was describing it, Beltran might have misjudged the ball because it rolled all the way to the wall. The hit was scored a double, so it might not have been Beltran's fault. But Gary seemed to think Carlos could have made a better play on that one.

Stop. Wait.Cubs here.They suck also.

Inning is finally over. 12-9, middle of the ninth.

Beltran misplays ball in CF, it's now 12-9 Brewers.Yuck,

Infield hit for Damian Miller, Brewers take the lead 10-9.

Carlos Lee gets a free pass.Bases loaded, one out, for Geoff Jenkins.

Ricky Weeks singles, first and third none out.Hernandez doesn't have it today.

Bill Hall doubles to start the ninth against Hernandez.Brady Clark singles, 9-8 Mets....

Offerman gets a 2-out RBI single. 9-7 Mets.
