Bad news tonight with Pedro Martinez leaving injured after a horrible first inning. We hope he comes back healthy while the rest of the squad continues to fight the good fight. A special thanks to those who voted for the show in the Podcast Awards. More talk on the issues the Mets are facing in the outfield and the pitching rotation prior to the playoffs. Also, a rumor that Shawn Green might waive his no trade clause in order to come to the Mets.

I’ve got something a little different for you on this podcast. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend this past Sunday night’s game against the Phillies. John Maine pitched a nice six innings for the win and the Mets pounded out eight runs lead by Jose Reyes’ grand slam in the bottom of the fourth. I also happened to have my portable recorder with me so we did the podcast on the fly and recorded from our seats in the alcohol free family section of the upper deck.
Show Highlights
- Pre-game chatter plus the national anthem.
- A discussion about Lastings Milledge and his impact on the team.
- Recap of the first two games of the Phillies series.
- The seven run rally in the fourth inning.
- Seventh inning stretch, complete with Take Me Out To The Ballgame.
- The final out plus post game chatter.
Congratulations to David Wright on his contract extension which I found out about after the game while listening to the FAN.
