Shake It Off

Some carryover effect. Go figure. They say momentum is as good as your next day's starting pitcher, and there's no better example than today's game.

Luis Castillo had a couple of hits and even fielded some balls today. It seemed like everyone had at least a couple of hits. On the subject of one-handed popups, it's a matter of time before David Wright drops one of them gimmes. Just look at where his body is and where the ball is on EVERY popup.

Speaking of Wright, I can't forget to mention the big hit off Rivera in that game to forget, which was a "clutch situation." I've been complaining that seemingly all of his hits during this hot streak have come with the bases empty.

The story of this one was Fernando Nieve. For an unheralded starter, his stuff looked pretty good.

No lead is safe in this park. It's Mile High Stadium and pre-humidifier Coors Field all over again. A nice place to boost your offensive numbers. Is there any fly ball to left field that does not reach the warning track?

Safe to say Gary Sheffield is benefiting from the DH; a homer for the second straight day. Four more games in AL parks. Nice.

Fernando Martinez should still go to AAA when the Mets return from Baltimore. Unless Sheffield, who's scheduled for an MRI, is diagnosed with something that puts him on the DL.
