Fading


The Mets are now 7 1/2 behind the Wild Card after waiting 2:28 in a rain delay before falling late in the afternoon. The Diamondbacks have Dan Haren on the mound for the series closer later today. At least we have Nelson Figueroa instead of Tim Redding.

Mike Pelfrey threw 107 pitches in five innings. Jon Garland threw 106 in nine. Can you tell how this game went? Big Pelf has declined this season, and if you are a young pitcher that's not they way it's supposed to be.

Yesterday was one of those days where it would've sucked to be at Shea. Those unfamiliar with Citi Field and who were likely there for the 1pm start time at least had plenty of time to explore. I'm sure those who have gone to many games and live relatively close patiently listened to the FAN for updates before heading out to the ballpark.
