Game Recap 8/5 Mets Win 9-0

First off the Injury News:
  • Jonathan Niese left the game in the second inning after covering first on a potential double play. The Mets say he has a right hamstring strain and he has gone to the hospital for a MRI.
  • Gary Sheffield left the game in the sixth inning after coming out of the box in pain on what should have been an easy double but ended up being a single. I think Gary will be fine, it looked to me like he justed want out of a blowout. I bet he plays tomorrow, at worst on Friday
  • Luis Castillo is listed day-to-day but probably won't play until Friday or Saturday.

Now for the Game:

  • The Mets came back after a crushing game last night and just played a great game all around.
  • Angel Pagan had a huge game including a RBI triple, 2-run homerun, sac fly, and a single. He has just been great since coming off the DL and might have made a name for himself to be included in next years team
  • Figgy stepped in and did an amazing job 2 days after not being able to make it out of the second inning. He pitched 4.1 allowing no runs and striking out 5 with atleast 3 of them on fastballs. Then he had the big hit of the game with runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the 2nd he crushed a pitch to center field that Ankiel dove for but it went of end of his glove. Figgy ended up with a stand up triple and 2 RBI's.
  • Bobby Parnell picked up his first career save going 3 innings giving up one hit, striking out 3, and throwing an impressive 22 out of 30 pitches for strikes. Then in the bottom of the eight he had an impressive at bat that ended in a line drive single up the middle for his first ever.
  • Cora: 1-5, R, RBI
  • Wright: 3-4, HR, BB, 2 RBI
  • Sheff: 1-4
  • Murph: 1-5
  • Frenchy: 2-3, 2B, BB( his first as a Met)
