And last year in 2 games against them he went 7 innings, 1 run at Shea and 8 innings, 2 runs in the Bronx.

The Mets push was a late push and they weren't getting Scranton anyway so I don't know why they did it.<BR/><BR/>And Pedro got beat in game 2 because the Red Sox didn't hit for him, not because "Yankee Stadium scares him". So please spare me that one. And if you're the Yankee fan I suspect you to be, then I wouldn't brag about anything regarding the '04 ALCS.<BR/><BR/>And please come back in two weeks. I'm looking forward to it.<BR/><BR/>Jeterboy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me...I read that earlier and meant to include that tonight.

The Mets and Yankees competed for the AAA site. Word had it that Mets executives were touring the town in a Trolley blaring the "Meet the Mets" theme song (true story). The Yankees executives also visited and they won (again). Now the Mets AAA get stuck miles away in a disaster zone. Getting shipped to New Orleans versus the local Scranton is not a positive no matter how you spin it.<BR/><BR/>As far as Pedro goes, I don't believe he is playing possum at all. He almost came to tears after his ineffective start last week and has limited confidence. Do you think he can just turn it on? At his age and with the injuries? I buy into Orels argument that there is plenty to be concerned about....especially velocity and working from the stretch. And about Pedro and the "who's your daddy?". He hasn't proven anyone wrong with that! He's sucked against the Yankees...even in Game 7 of the 2004 clincher at the Stadium, he was still getting hit when the game was a joke. He was also beat in Game 2 of that series and of course the infamous Game 7 the year prior.<BR/><BR/>I want to read this blog in two weeks when the Mets are 1-1 after Glavine and Pedro (or worse 0-2) and everyone panicking about El Duque or Wacksel saving your season. You'll be thinking plenty about the trading deadline then and why Omar didn't go for winning now.<BR/><BR/>We'll see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1158945974440376762006-09-22T13:26:00.000-04:002006-09-22T13:26:00.000-04:00And also, the Mets have also lost Hagerstown to th...And also, the Mets have also lost Hagerstown to the Nationals.
