The Boys of Shea won another game last night 3-1. They are 6-1 for the season and haven't had this good a start since 1985. Pedro put in his usual machine-like performance and this time didn't bean anybody. He wasn't perfect--he gave up a solo homer and loaded the bases in the 5th (?) with no outs. He also failed to make even a single out when he fielded a bunt. He did manage to pitch out of that though and went a full seven innings. Heilman looked fine in the eighth and Wagner looked fine closing. Beltran got a critical base hit and scored from first on a Delgado base hit into the deep right field. Base10 thinks that after spending last yeare wandering the ddesert among angry Met fans, this year Carlos Delgado may come to understand that when they love you in this town, there ain't nothing like it.

Once again, the Mets look good in all facets of the game. Let's hope they can keep it up. They seem to have enough hitting, but in my mind they're most vulnerable in the bullpen. Wagner and Heilman seem quality--with Heilman capable of filling in for a starter if needed--but that's about it as far as depth. Jorge Julio is at best a question mark.

Today is a day game with Zambrano on the mound. Might Base10 sneak out to watch? He might, rabbit, he might...
