Mets Redemption
The Mets did redeem themselves last night. Well, I shouldn't say the Mets so much as $10 million closer Billy Wagner. The Yankees emergency starter Aaron Small did surprisingly well against Tom Glavine who struggled at times. The Mets finally broke through and blasted Small for four runs taking the lead at 4-2 in the 6th. Outstanding defensive play by the Mets along with effective relief pitching by Heilman and Wagner resulted in a final of 4-3. The Mets take two of three and earn some NYC cred.

As of this morning, the Mets are no. 2 in the NL and lead the East. Philly and Atlanta are 3 and 4.5 games behind, respectively. The Mets are off tonight, but face Philly in a three-game series at Shea starting tomorrow. The Yankees face the Red Sox for a three-game series starting tonight at Fenway (or is that the way of the Fen?).

In other sports, Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro appears to be doing okay after surgery on his leg. And of course, IRL fans are gearing up for the Indy 500 this Memorial Day weekend.
