Mets doing some homestyle cooking

Glavine threw a gem of a game today. Heilman came in and struck out the side after allowing one of Tom's runners to score. But that was it for Houston's runs.

Reyes continues to struggle at the plate. He looks completely lost and clueless. He needs to sit tomorrow and get some rest before the Braves come to town. David continues his march to the 30-30 club. He hit a high fastball to right field and inches closer to history. With 27 home runs so far, it looks like David will join HoJo and Straw as the only 30-30 hitters in Mets history.

It's still troubling to see the Mets struggle at the plate against a pitcher who throws a 12-6 curve. Beltran is helpless if he's thrown that pitch. He needs some serious batting practice on curves. Until he can prove to hit that pitch, all Mets fans will remember him standing with bat on his shoulder as Wainwright ended the season. Woody Williams is OK as a pitcher, but a good pitcher would be very hard to beat if they have a good curve. And in the Playoffs, the Mets won't be facing any "Woody Williams" on the mound.

I also want to give a shout out to Wagner. He looked much better today. Must be Lo Duca's advise is working. He noticed that Billy wasn't using his legs enough. Now Billy seems to be driving towards the plate with his legs better, and he's striking out guys and getting ground balls. That's good to see. The Mets need him in top form heading into the stretch run. And Billy needs to know he's still the man when the 9th inning come around.
