Mets 5, Marlins 1 - Two Good Guys Do Some Good Things

(Airplane noises)

One of the best things about baseball season is that you can time long drives so that you are never  stuck hoping for a good string of songs on the radio, or playing the same iPod songs you've heard a zillion times.  That was the case this evening as I was able to tune into the game in the middle of the fifth pretty much as soon as Omar Infante hit a homer off of St. Dickey to give the Fish a 1-0.  

"Oh wonderful," I thought, "I am the worst luck."

However, the Mets bounced back, in large part thanks to a superb effort by Dickey and a 2-run bomb to center field by David Wright, who took sole possession of the franchise record for RBI after sharing it with Darryl Strawberry for five games. 

Jose Reyes did basically nothing again and the bullpen nailed down the victory, the second straight for the Mets after losing that doubleheader on Monday in EXCRUCIATING fashion.  They'll go for the sweep tomorrow as they were thoughtful enough to schedule the game in the afternoon so as not to make fans of both their team and the NY Rangers have to make an impossible decision.
