Some quick hits to go with your Thursday morning Unfrosted Blueberry Poptart:
1) The Mets made it 4 in a row last night by taking the Phillies again with strong pitching and hitting. The Mets have now shutout the Phils for back to back games for the first time since 1998 (It is also the first time that any team has done that to the Phillies since 1999). Technically the Mets are still in last place but technically they are also tied for third place as well. The entire division is seperated now by only 3 games.
2) Takahashi got a win in his second start and has now thrown 12 scoreless innings to start his career as a starting pitching.
3) Reyes is really heating up. He another multi-hit game including his first homer of the season (and the first homer for a Mets middle infielder this season). Rod Barajas also helped out with the hit brigade as he brought in 3 runs last night.
4) Boston is making things interesting in the other Eastern division. They beat the Rays again making the Rays lead over the Yankees 3.5 games and over the Red Sox 5.5 games. The Red Sox also only trail the Yankees by 2 games for that wild card spot.
