Game 11: Mets at Nationals, and Notes on Sierra, Milledge, Schmol

GAHHHHHHHHHH The mets lost today 7-6 in extra innings

All I can say is that this came probably will be the one that blocks Soler from the 25 man roster at the start of the season. When he got the game, it was 6-1 lead. The events from him turned it 6-5 and later with other pitchers 6-6 and 6-7 nationals

For those of you who watched Soler last year. He was exactly how he was last year when he got in trouble, his nibble pitching was off the mark and caused him to walk a lot and later give up a 3-run shot.

On the flip side, Perez went 4 innings and 1 ER today, which was very pleaseant and good to know that he could do.

Now for the offense. It was actually there today. In the second inning Johnson and Newhan went back to back in homruns. In Milledge's first AB of the day, he hit a Homerun. Jose Valetin also had a homerun today…so the offense was there today.

Green had another good day too with a double and an RBI. Chavez also had an RBI.

In the race to be the 25th man, Johnson and Newhan both had big days. We already know that they both hommered, and I belive Newhan leads RBI for the Mets. Johnson today passed Jose Reyes for the most TB's on the team…this will go down to the wire. Right now, i beileve, Newhan has the upper hand because he did play last year (more than Johnson).

The Notes for Sierra are actually ingame notes. He would have had the Mets' fifth homerun of the game, but he was robbed by Logon.

Now I got two pieces of Milledge exchanges. One is a Milledge being Milledge. A few days ago, Milledge got his hair cut. He took his hair, put it in two bags, gave one to Randolph and one to Manuel.

This is a good human interest story.

The second piece is, before todays game, before batting practice, Milledge was joking around with Logan of the Nationals. Once BP started, Sandy jokingly, in an apparently funny tone, told Milledge “Get his address, get his phone number already and get to work” and all parties walked away laughing.

Well, we all knew that Schmol would have an outside shot for roster, and unforently, it was made official recently that he was placed in the Mets Minor League Camp now…we will still see him in some more training games.

I like this kid, and i dont know why more people feel the same

Before listening to todays game on 660 (via the net…HAHA gameday audio, cant take my money now) i had two straight fantasy drafts…wow that was a lot of baseball so far today…i will eventually have them up on Daily Baseball. Feel free to post ur teams on Daily Baseball on posts related to fantasy baseball…and leave updates on how ur team is doing during the season.
