Just 2 days past the month anniversery of Tom Glavine's rain-shortened complete game shutout, John Maine grabbed a 4 1/2 inning complete game shutout this afternoon in the series wrap with the Washington Nationals. Lastings Milledge & David Wright continued their hot hitting for the Mets & John Maine threw a one-hitter through 5 to get the Mets the victory. Maine moves to 12-5 on the season. Is Maine the Mets' Ace now? Hmmmmmmm, discuss...
Boxscore.
Paul Lo Duca left last night's game with a leg injury in the 7th & the Mets are expecting an MRI tonight to find out the severity. Seems like a guy gets hurt every week now.
The Phillies won today also so they remain 4 GB the Mets after today. Oops, take that back, make that 3.5 GB.
At the time of this post, Atlanta is up 6-0 on Arizona at the end of 2. The Ted Turners are 4 GB.
Travel day for the Mets tomorrow has the go to Milwaukee to face the BrewHaHas, the surprise leader of the NL Central. Looks like Glavine is the scheduled starter for Tuesday night's game vs. MillerTown. As you know Glavine will be going for his 300th career win & is looking to become the 1st Met to win 300 as a Met, not just being a Met at one time in a career & winning 300. Seaver won his 300th with the Pale Hose & the Ryan Express won his #300 with the George Bush Rangers, back in the days before President George W. Bush somehow metamorphosed into Satan.
Where was I? Oh yes, I'm going fix a glass of Sunday afternoon Scotch b/c I can do that.
